Hi all

Finally have some time to try and finish my mini

What a mess, :) dont know where to start.

things needed to be done

1. http://www.freewebs.com/seefuh/Door%20Handle.JPG .. Door handles and locks

2. http://www.freewebs.com/seefuh/Int%20-%20Door.JPG .. Interior trim

3. http://www.freewebs.com/seefuh/boot%20hinge.JPG .. Boot hinges, the inside threads are gone... dont know what to do, find some chrome hinges ? maybe

4. http://www.freewebs.com/seefuh/dash.JPG .. Dont have a clue what the original is suppose to look like.

Anyone have photos of original dash. I would like everything to be as stock or orignal as possible..

Wow, what do you guys think ?

Chris

hey its another Chris with a mini in Sydney
i reckon there are heaps of you around (at least 4)

anyway, most of what youre looking for can be bought
two options:

1. from shops (Mini Clinic, Padstow, 58Gibson Rd i think)
very exxy

2. from us (yes, us!) im sure a couple of people are willing to sell you for much cheaper than the stores or even give you their bits and pieces
i dont have any clubman parts so cant help you there

btw i think chrome boot hinges from mini clinic are around $120/set

this might sound a little dodgey, but when one of the threads of one of my hinges striped i simply tapped a new 7mm metric thread and used a bolt as the stud. it was alot cheaper then buying new hinges and it saved getting new ones painted, over all i spent about $10 on the tap and the bolts and it only took about 10min. i practiced on an old hinge first
