Welcome to the Irish Mini Owners Club forum. Celebrating 30 years of the Irish Mini Owners Club, 60 years of the Mini, 50 years of the Clubman and 20 years of our flagship event MTM
Hey guys new to the site just signed up to the club to so though id say howdy!!!
Bought this Cooper about 2 years ago now completely stripped her and brought her from her rusty self to the car she is today. Took two years to do it so a lot of hours of labour gone in, thanks to Whiskers and Dad who leant a helping hand along the way. Only a few more hours of labour left on her before she can be taxed and then shes off to IMM 2010.
Anyway enough yatter heres pics of her time with me so far....
We are only going to the IMM on the Sunday we have a trip planned out to take in a few european cities along the way and the Swiss Alps on the way back so unfortunately we wont be able to stay at IMM longer than one day as much as we would like to...
What Minis have you?: 1996 BRG mayfair 1275 auto-lyin up now 1990 1l city-daily driver 1993 cooper spi-completly stripped and upside down! the long term project(advantage) courtesy of mr skelly!! rotten shell-found a floor repair panel in the boot tho!
Cant wait until I can seen her flying up the road for the first time. A lot of blood, sweat and tears have gone in to this and it was well and truely worth it!!
took her out at the weekend to have a spin around the driveway where i found out the clutch wasnt engaging so had to strip the clutch and realised it was about to fall apart will get some pics up of it.... starting to bite the nails now as IMM is approaching better over here in my driveway than on the autobahn
WAHAY finally got this driving so all it needs now is a few little bits before shes on the road!! Then Im sure there will be more problems Ill come across but fingers crossed nothing major.
Delighted with the interior. The exhaust is a straight pipe from the engine so we were a little worried about the noise. So myself and whiskers covered the back seat in sound proofing and also the rear bins so inside the car theres a nice little cat and then outside theres a lion!!
