G'day All..

Like many I've been blousing for a while, and decided it was aboot time I started posting. Have always wanted to restore a mini, and after a recent 3 year holiday in Merry Ol' England, I came back with the determination to start, I just wish I had of packed my suitcase full of parts before I came back (Bangs head against wall!!)

Anyway, I purchased a '69 roundie a month or so ago and have it almost ready to go in to the body shoppe in the next week (finger crossed). It's still a few months off being completed, which is killing me as I've not driven it yet.

Great forum you guys have here, packed full of usefull stuff.

Cheers

Mat

Hi I live near Brisbane, I have a 72 clubman just about to start its new restored life.

hi all, im mel, im 20 and live in hobart. i have a 1978 leyland mini i bought about a month ago. i love it and i cant wait to get some cash together to start doin stuff to it. i got a sports steernig wheel the other day and got it home then realized i didnt have a socket big enough to take the nut off to get the old one out! i was so disappointed! i had to take it to the mechanics and get them to do it, and of course its on crooked now so i will have to take it back! anyway i have huge plans for it! i got set of extractors cheap as so i cant wait to put them on and get a lush sounding exhaust. i also have flares sittin on my bedroom floor ready to put on when i get some mags which will go on when i get the right brakes! so yeah, i have plans, hopes and dreams for my beast, i hope that it all goes well and i dont prang the damn thing too soon!

welcome.. make sure you ask anything you want to know..

And if you need work done on your car down there go and see the boys at Wilson automotive in Derwent Park..

brisbane.
also known as one half of "the mokemen"(now ceased).
1st car was a 62 mini 850 (lasted 2 weeks), since had about 200 minis and mokes.
think minis are ok but a pain in the arse.
mokes are for real men.
