Irish Mini Owners Club

The log book is in my folks house. I'll have a look through it when all this pandemic stuff is over. Your mum didn't live in Malahide at the time did she? I got the Mini off my sister who had previously picked it up there. I remember my dad had to tow it because the bell housing at flywheel were off...

Hi John, sorry only seeing your post now. Yes I still own it, I have it stored away at the moment until I get some more time to be able to get back at it. When did your mum own it?

Still have the yellow one but it's been parked up in the folks garage the last few years. Have a couple of other non mini projects to finish first and hopefully start a full strip down next summer and do her properly this time. Sid sold his a while ago, couldn't get the cash together quick enough to...

Nice work Karl. You still planning on the engine conversion on the other one?

It was on a classic policy Billy. I added it to the one I had at the time no problem.

First Ireland have insured me in the past on a 17 year old mini.

That mini was built in the uk in the late 90's early 00's. It was a cover car in mini mag or mini world back then so all is legit. Don't know about the engine though.

I had a 1969 car insured through Hibernian- now aviva as a daily about 5 years ago might be worth a shot.

Sorry to hear your sad news John. My thoughts are with you and your family.

As far as I remember its a T piece Dave.

It's an '81.

Here's a picture of my engine bay just after i put the engine in. Hope it helps.

I just refurbed the original one that was in my car. Works no problem.

I had the same problem on mine when I changed it from drums. I made the common mistake of putting the callipers on the wrong side of the car. Switched them around and all was good.

Come on Alan where are the photos of the Mini?

Well done lads.

That red one in Longford is Darren Hughes (mark's brother) old mini. He had a build thread and for sale thread on here.

Always get the Midas and minus mixed up, cheers TMG.

The Midas is back up

Looking forward to seeing this finished. Something similar to what I've planned for mine when money and time allows

Seen a 1990 BRG mini northbound on the M50 last night. It exited on to the N2.

With a warning like that I went straight to the news section :-) My favourite bit was [quote"]The “lot” from the IMOC were there huddled up in a corner of the display area being their usual anti social selves/[/quote] I love the way he doesn't see the irony of the statement being posted on the ...

That's a pity Tony, its been a while. I did see you in Miniworld though. Is that the mini you were building a while ago?
