  Local Mini Chat - Introductions
Posted by: Albino_Hedgehog - 06-12-2016, 10:51 PM - Forum: General Chit Chat - No Replies

Introduction

Hello,

I am Matt, I am from the UK, in fact I lived just a 5 minute walk from the former Mini birthplace the Longbridge factory. 

I drive a 1990 Mini City E, I have been on the road for around 18 months, and have loved every minute of it!
So far I have done nearly 20,000 miles in my little car, and have no intentions of stopping anytime soon!

I joined a Mini club last year, and often go out on drives, and shows together. This family-like community got me thinking....



Background

In the past year I have been working on a website that aims to bring Mini Owners from around the world together. This website aims to be a sort of Global Magazine that anyone can access and see what other people with similars interests are doing.

We are always looking to add new people to the site from different parts of the world, if you are part of a Club, and would be interested in telling others aound the world your storey, in monthly updates, then get in touch!

App Developement


I have recently began working on an app for Android and iPhone, that will allow you to find other Mini owners/app users in your local area.


This works in a similar way to Tinder in the sense you can see that they are "10 miles" away but can not tell where they actually are.

[Image: owner_sidebar.png] [Image: login_screen_a.png] [Image: spoksman_screen2.png]

I have now setup a Kickstarter campaign to help gain the funds necessary to develop the app further!

Kickstarter:

More app information:

App Information



We are now running a competition on the Kickstarter, anyone who pledges £5 or more will be entered in to a prize draw for a Voucher worth £75!


You can also now donate to the fund via PayPal using the link below:

It would be great if you could share the links around to people, and help give my project a chance to prove it can be worthwile!

To All

Many thanks for including me on this forum. I am originally south African however now reside in Harare Zimbabwe. I have a Mk3 mini which am currently rebuilding. So far i have managed to obtain a 1275 gt engine which has a overbore of 1.0 on each piston, ground down crank, running a stage 3 cam. I will be running a weber 40 dcoe shortly just looking for an inlet manifold. I am currently running 13 inch mags with a full race suspension kit which came in from the uk. not sure what more u guys need to know.

Look forward to chatting to all.

Kind Regards

  Thumz MKIII 4AGE build
Posted by: Thumz - 06-06-2016, 07:08 AM - Forum: Your Classic Minis Story - Replies (41)

Hi guys so firstly i would like to thank you guys for an awesome welcoming, and give props to the admin for a well designed forum (much better than any other). As mentioned in my introduction thread I will be squeezing a 4A-GE 16v twincam engine in. The build thread will unfortunately be agonizingly slow Sad  as i have to balance the build, work and studies. since this will be my first mini project will also be looking to you guys for help (Expect a lot of silly questions Huh ). next step will be completing the strip as well as rust removal. Will make sure to post lots of pictures and keep you guys updated as closely as possible. Thoroughly excited Big Grin

  Estate rear window frames
Posted by: GTSPhil - 06-06-2016, 06:16 AM - Forum: Technical Queries / Questions - Classic Mini - Replies (1)

I finally managed to get some window frames for my poor estate that has had the rear sliding windows removed with the frames which got lost or sold or stolen or something.

So I spent a fair bit of time on the interwebs doing some research on how to fit these darn things to the car.  All the build threads start where the car is still assembled, next pic the frames is off the car and next thing the car is all done and back together, so not alot of help to fit the frames.  Even registered and visited the ClubmanEstateRegister no joy there either.

Right so I have the basics down about fitting the window channels and then the windows and then the frames last, that is not my problem.

My problem comes to the frames themselves and the clips they should have and where said clips fasten onto the frame tail in the body.

To get really technical the frames has 14A9672, clip frame to body, they are more damaged than usable though.
I also have 14A9629, bracket quarter light frame, on both frames, these are still in good nick.

I need a how to for fitting the frames to the body with pics if possible and lastly the window catches (24A2391)  I also do not have but will import them, how are they fitted?????

Thanks
In advance.
