Re: Old Clubby 2BY1
2 BYI shows up as a blue '74 1275cc. Was it a 1275 GT Clubman?
Do you have any photos?

Steve, what are you driving? There will be plenty from the club there but most are flying this year.

Re: IMM 2024 GERMANY
In the past, everyone would know who's driving so we could arrange convoys. Is there a convoy this year?

Re: Keep it Original? Mini 30
Original all the way. The burgundy Mini 30 is one of my favourite limited edition Minis.

Re: Engine paint
Ask your local motor or tractor factors. They will probably have something or can order whatever you need.

Re: Mechanic in North Cork Area
Mick Lillis in Fermoy trained on Minis. He's worked on mine and Kevin Ring's in the past. His number is 025-31081. Great man to tune twin carbs.

Congrats on baby #2. My lad did MTM2000 at 6 months old. Start them young.

Re: 1983 Mini City
Fair play. You've some serious work put into this Mini and it's great that it's not a trailer queen and that you're getting out and about with it. Looking forward to seeing it in the flesh in the future.

Good luck with it John but it's an Mpi so be prepared for a few surprises when you start digging.

Jeepers. Really coming along. You should be able to get a dealer sticker made up if you have a photo of the original.
True what you say about Magnum panels. They're OK but not great.

Re: 1983 Mini City
The boot gaps look great. The trick is maintaining them once the rubbers are fitted.

Re: Respray
It's a tricky one. The reality is that all Minis rust. Spraying over the few bubbles for the sake of keeping the cost down is a false economy because you're guaranteed that those bubbles will keep growing and you're back to square one. The only real way is to have the rust properly removed either by...

Patience is the trick. Useful post.
I've watched Ray Cunningham in Galway Mini Centre do it in minutes. Practice obviously makes perfect.

Re: IMM 2023 Italy
Don't mind him. There will be plenty of us there. Allow a round trip of 10 days. While the ferry will be a cost, you can keep the rest of it down to petrol, food, and beer if you camp for the whole trip. Camping at the IMM is included in the price. There will be several convoys leaving from Dublin a...

Re: Electric Mini Conversion
There's an episode of Vintage Voltage where they convert a Mini to electric power. I've been driving electric since last year (VW ID4) and they're great craic to drive. Would love to try an electric Mini.

Re: Electric Mini Conversion
Whatever happened to this project? It's even more topical that it was when Kriss started it several years ago. I see that Kriss hasn't logged on to this forum since 2018. Does anyone know did it get finished?
Thanks,

Re: Another Dodgy Mini
887FIP clearly has post-1986 front indicators. Engines, dashes, and wheels are easily changed but nobody ever adds later wings unless they were there day one.

VZH540 is listed on motorcheck.ie as a 1965 grey Morris. This yoke is clearly a post-1986 Mini with internal door hinges and the post-86 indicators on the front wings. Nothing 1965 but the logbook. Buyer be very aware!
