I'm Stephen,

I have a 1971 Moke that I am rebuilding in Sydney . I am lurking trying to learn as much as possible. The body has been stripped and I am cutting out the rust.

Welding should start next week. At the moment I am just practing on scrap.

In a couple of weeks I should start preping for paint..

Hi Stephen and welcome to the group , always good to get another Moke in here . Don't be afraid to ask questions , good to hear you're doing the welding yourself , a bit more satisfying when it's done if you've been hands on with it . Just put your location in your profile as well , doesn't have to be the suburb , just the region . It helps people near you know if they can put their hand up to help you if you need a hand .

Hi guys.

Name's Ian.

20yo, living with my olds in Melbourne. Currently @ Uni (and am now paying off loan!) so haven't got too much dosh to splurge on Mini with at the mo!

Own a 1992 Rover Mini - British Open classic ed. (Check out the Members Mini Gallery).

First Mini - keen to get involved with other Mini fanatics and thought this'd be the ideal spot.

Very nice site too, guys. Great setup and very user-friendly for Forum unco's like me...

Hi Ian , welcome to the group . A good looking mini you've got there , I didn't know anyone had bought in a british open classic , sure looks a neat car . Good to see more Ian's around here too .
