Irish Mini Owners Club

Spotted today,Toughers car park Newbridge,



Very Tidy.

Its looking stunning Darren,he's done a great job.Could you pm me please aswell with an idea of costs and where ya got your panels and stuff,just haven't got a clue of what I need to get yet for my one.Cheers

Might have to make them fixed in the end,was just thinking how easy it would be for some not so nice person to lever them out and nick stuff.

Another question,anybody used these guys or had any experience with them.

Ah crap was thinking that woody,going to try and DIY the hinge if i can.

Hi clubman, would like to keep the hinged setup if possible,but trying to keep costs down.I could make them fixed I suppose it might be handier,do you reckon i could take the chrome off round the edges and just put a seal in and bobs your auntie.What kind of money are your windows?

Well I've got a bit further on the mini,was going to lift engine and sub-frames out but I'm in two minds weather or not to leave them.Had originally planned to strip it to a shell and get it sand blasted but think i'll just get welded sanded and sprayed.I know its the cheapo option but haven't much ...

Just wondering what the engine and gear box weighs,was going to hire out an engine crane from hss and its max load is 500kg.
Cheers Dermot.

Cheers for the kind words everyone,any advice at all good or bad is welcomed.I'm tempted to break out the angle grinder now and go crazy!

Looks like a fair bit of work involved Darran,but will be worth it when its back in shape.Have mine stripped to the shell almost now its a 91 but there seems to be less rust so I'm hoping it wont work out to expensive to repair.Notice your based in Laois,where abouts are you getting it done and woul...

Hi all,I'm completely new here so would like to say hello everyone and post a few pics of my Mini.I'm stripping it to a rolling shell at the moment.Its my first ever mini and might have been a slight impulse buy and I'm on a very tight budget but I'm well happy i bought it now.I'm going to be needin...
