Ahoy there chaps and chapettes, I've gone and discovered myself a little mini "paddock" find in a central Vic town, I'll post photos & details of it once I'm on my computer but there are 3 mini shells, a moke shell and various engines!
But firstly I need to know how hard/costly it is to replace a mini k floor before I start throwing my money on the table.
Back soon with updates
Trent

you asked for it, so here they are

The line up, now im not a different mini model encyclopedia, i can basically tell the difference between a moke, clubbie and a roundnose. And what was in the paddock/backyard you can see in the following



Apparantly the white one is a Mini K, the brown one = no idea but its pretty much rooted, and is "scrap heap" material according to the owner, the green one?? but has hydro suspension and a moke. I got photos of the ID plates of the green,white & moke which will appear later. The brown one had no ID, but had sliding windows, does that help??




So the White "k" is in pretty good nick, there are some rust spots in the usual places BUT alot less than i thought there would be for a car thats been sitting there for so long

EXCEPT for the floor which is capital F'd. What i could see of the sills are really quite good. The car floor is on the ground which i think why it hasnt faired well. Elsewhere i give the body a 7/10


Engine bay


ID plate 970 Yor V G251 10072


Interior is in pretty good nick too, apart from the window and spiders


Now the green one


Pretty banged up front


interior is pretty meh

Both doors are OK



Engine is a spiderery death trap


ID plate YMA2S4 car 1386 eng 9AN/A/H 254 colour 1/JAY BLUE/3

The Green one does have a good floor though, which i was thinking could be a good donor for the white one
Now the bonnet badge, is this the rare one??


The Brown one was in a sorry sorry state, nothing worth looking at other that the doors with their sliding windows



The Moke was also pretty rusted out in the floor but ill post pics of it anyways



ID Plate


He also has 3 engines in a shipping container/shed

That one is the engine out of the moke




2nd engine - weird metal fan on that one, no head number though



3rd - pretty standard looking, again no head number


plus a subframe


So theres what i found and checked out. Now ill leave you to guess how much he wants for it all but do you think its worth me taking the white and green shells (poor brown is too far gone). I also told the guy that what i dont want, i might be able to find people who do. So if anyone wants anything, let me know and we can work something out

Fun times

It would be YG2S1 = Mini K





YMA2S4 = MiniMatic. Looks like a 68.

I call dibs on those 2 seats in the moke if that is ok. Can you pass details of the owner on to me please, we have been looking for a while for of them. Pretty pretty please

Cheers, steve

Actually just spoke to dad where interested in the whole moke

Steve
you can have the seats, but at this stage im not passing on the owners details until ive got what i want sorted.
He said he will hang onto it all for me until i let him know what i want to do, but you can def consider the seats yours, but no details...yet

Thanks for that Kasperflipped.
Sorry for sounding so demanding in my other post. I fully understand your situation, but thanks heaps for that.

The minimatic shell looks the best to me, get the door off the K and replace the front guard and it's a solid car. The rust in the gutter of the K looks a bit scary.

The really rusty one is probably an 850

The spare engines look like 850s? Photos of the engine numbers and back of the gearboxes would help.

cheers

Jacob

Well the top one is out of the moke, so being a 1971 moke, if the motor was the original motor it would be an 1100.

The low back moke seats are very sought after as people use them as backseats too! Not often you still see them in a car!

I love this one



But thats just cos of the golden retriever sticking its head in the picture
I have two of the things and they do love to be "involved" at all times
