Irish Mini Owners Club

Not sure what your asking.
Choose of tyre manufacturer? Width of wheel?

Nice work ,will you keep the rear track near standard Mini ?

All mini shells are RHD and LHD. As well as the wiper holes you have the pedal and master cylinder mounts. Thats why the clocks were in the center . Apart from some brake and clutch pipes all you need to convert an early mini is a steering rack and a pair of headlamps.

Yes , you need to replace the lip as the A panel is only welded at the top and bottom ( to the missing lip) with a fold along the end of the inner wing.

I don't know anything about the car personally but looking at the invoice I would think its been lying up for a while and probably bought as a non runner if he only has it 12 months. Is it a Irish re-reg or a uk import? Work may have been done in the uk.

Mini looks good with nice mods. I presume you are aware it is a Mini van converted to estate. I think there may have been a factory kit to do the rear seat.

You may need to elaborate to support such a statement, many restorations update and modernize minis.

The comprehensive folder of photos should give a very good indication of work that was done, maybe post up some of them.

At the top of the For Sale forum there are a set of rules for posting ads to include. Photo, Price and Location.

Your roof looks strong enough to do what I did.I made 4 rollers about 100mm long and fitted them to the roof about 150mm inside the two windscreens. I then feed a long rachet load strap through them and under the car and joined the ends. car rotated easy enough.

Yes still available

The drip rail is not the gutter, it sits below the gutter on '70s cars. Personally the holes in the roof I would fill with weld as they will be covered with seam sealer. If your fitting the plastic trim on the gutter that will also cover anything you do.

Bolts and washers and should be two nuts for the exhaust to manifold clamp.

Looks good

The two bolts on your handbrake cable bracket also hold on the backplate with a washer between them if I remember right.

I use the 063.

Personally I like to use Heritage Panels from either Somerford Minis or Minisport. M Machine panels are pretty good also in less visible areas. You get what you pay for.

Very nice

If you only have whats in the picture I would not start buying parts yet. Concentrate on getting the body solid and if that works out than start sourcing the rest.Every good mini starts with a good body otherwise you'll spend more time fixing it than driving it. A good set of doors ,boot and bonnet ...

Great work ,pratice makes perfect

That will make a nice garden feature

I can post them but the weight will probably double the cost. If your not in a hurry I could get them to Dublin for you to collect.

No problem look forward to seeing you on the road again,

You should have been supplied with the inserts for the Poly front pear mounts. Depends on supplier I have the bolts / washers / nuts and additionally poly mounts - not all -and rubber too http://www.richmondclassicscarparts.co.uk/ Good to see an Irish based supplier .Your link above should be .ie n...
