Irish Mini Owners Club

Pardon my newbieness.

Watsons?

Try Autoline. They covered my 87 golf and didn't mind about mods. They also quoted me to add a 99 audi S8. They're up north so have different rules.

They also told me they wouldn't load my premium for mods.

Love the car. Wheel choice not my cuppa.

Not bad, not my cup of tea but....

In Letterkenny last week I spotted what looked like a mini with a copied roof and nicely spaced wheels. Black in colour. Looked mean.

I'll start up a build thread soon. Let me know about windscreen. Cheers.

I'll keep that in mind Thanks.

Where can I get a windscreen?

Yeah I know that. I have a B16 head and manifold sourced for it. Planning on getting a watsons kit for it. Still toying with the idea of making my own. A friend has a B16 mini and I can copy his subframe if I want ad she is going in to get repaired and sprayed soon.

Hi all, I'm Underhauled from the banner County. I just picked up a 1985 Mayfair auto. Car is 80% dismantled at this stage and once the bodywork is up to snuff I will be installing a B18 from a Honda integra. Been a long time mission of mine and now it's going ahead. Previously I have a 20 valve turb...
