Irish Mini Owners Club

Best quote I can get is €330 from axa

Having some trouble getting my mini insured, this is the reply I got from companies I've tried


Campion - won't insure modified cars

Carolenash - only third party unless it's garaged

First Ireland (aig) - won't insure modified cars

I'd be interested in a few bits too, I'm only in Blanchardstown.

What's your number?

Finally have this finished and on the road (well almost, needs tax and insurance) http://i907.photobucket.com/albums/ac271/willjpg/Mobile%20Uploads/IMAG1367_zpsdthpws3f.jpg http://i907.photobucket.com/albums/ac271/willjpg/Mobile%20Uploads/IMAG1368_zpscayvidyb.jpg http://i907.photobucket.com/albums/a...

They are yeah, they rattle like mad with the opening mechanism, I'm pretty sure they let in water around the slider aswell, I need to double check that though

Where'd you see it?

Haven't updated this in a long time! This is pretty much how it sits at the minute, I've fitted smaller front spacers since http://i907.photobucket.com/albums/ac271/willjpg/Mobile%20Uploads/IMAG0606_zpspuuu1q2c.jpg http://i907.photobucket.com/albums/ac271/willjpg/Mobile%20Uploads/IMAG0607_zpstqsroxs...

Looks great mate! Love the front end! Still haven't been down to my car to have a look at them wipers for you unfortunately

Really thinking about saving for a lynx r1 kit from England, are there any bike engined minis on here? Or does anyone know of any in Ireland?

Cheers for the replies folks. So far I've one main contender http://www.adverts.ie/vehicles/mini-mayfair-sport/6784174 Ive not seen her yet, she's due for her NCT at the weekend and ive just had a few comments with the seller. Thoughts? Looks like a nice little car, on the plus side its not to far ...

Welcome along Catherine, I was in the same boat as yourself this time last year The best advice I could give you is not to rush into anything, get a second opinion if you are unsure about anything! I bought what I thought to be a 99% rust free car and it needed loads of work, even had expanding foam...

Best of luck with it! She'll be absolutely thrilled to get it I'm sure!

Put the car up on axle stands, take the wheels off, undo the top shock mount, pull the cones out. That's it in theory anyway

Jesus I haven't updated this is ages! Progress has been pretty slow, I've just been gathering bits n pieces for it the last 6 months This is how it Sat about a month ago, it has since gone for paint and should be back in the next few weeks http://i907.photobucket.com/albums/ac271/willjpg/Mobile%20Up...

Looking forward to seeing this finished James, something very different

You are going to end up with the little rocket i always wanted for a daily. Keep her going

A guy in Lusk, Keith is his name, why do you ask?

I actually can't wait to get it back on the road

165's with a little stretch

Been a while since I've updated this, not sure wether to start a build thread or just continue this thread, for now I'll keep it here. I decided a while back to go the whole hog and get the whole car done, it's with a guy at the minute having new floor panels, inner and outer sills both sides, two d...

I have 12's on my 998, doesn't kill the power at all

Same colour as mine! Best of luck with it

Here's mine

How much should I be expecting to pay two get two front floor pans, inner and outer sills done? I have the panels already from minispares.

Thanks,
William
