Irish Mini Owners Club

Thanks TMG!

Any advice on getting a good seal between the exhaust downpipe and standard exhaust manifold on a standard 998?

Yes, I called for a look at it the other evening. It will make a nice project for someone.

Whereabouts are you?

Welcome back to the Mini scene.
That is a great looking GT, it looks vaguely familiar.

Here is the meeting point of a Mini run from the early 90's

It does give hope thats theres more like it on island. ..... i'm still looking for that blue 1071s i saw in Ashbourne Service Station all those years back There was a guy in the Club years ago who had a blue 1071 S that he restored. I think he lived in Ballinteer. There can't have been too many blu...

It must be have originally been a UK car imported here in the 70's, KYI is a 1976 / 77 Dublin reg

Well done Rich, keep us updated on progress

I am also thinking of putting the mambas back on. They could do with a clean up and repaint, probably in black and will need a set of arches http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f385/WZA60/20140412_1735272_zps28a27033.jpg I had the GT out of the garage earlier, it's been a while since they were both pa...

Looks good Cian, do you have any more photos?

Looking good!

IMM 2017 maybe

For various reasons not a lot has happened in the meantime, so I have borrowed it to do a few jobs and get it NCT'd. I gave it a wash the other evening, a polish will be next. The exhaust is leaking at the manifold so will need to sort that out too. http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f385/WZA60/Mini1...

I like the seats

Looking forward to them

Hi Andrew,

I spotted your Racing Green at Cabinteely a while back.
Looks like an interesting restoration you are starting into.
Just wondering if it has disc brakes on the front with 12" wheels? If so that will be a step up from the original drums.

If the weather was the same both times, i.e. wet and windy, do you have a splash guard inside the grille protecting the electrics?
