I was always a Mini fan , new and old , from early years watching my family own a good few , to it being my parents mode of transport to school.

So my hunt began early last year when i joined MOCKZN alongside Trinesh and Ed , they knew i was looking for a classic Mini of my own.

There was a good few that i came across and for some reason or another i just did not manage to seal the deal ,

On the 9th of December 2015 that all changed , i came across a beautiful 1275E for sale and again with the advice of my trustworthy companions i made the call and sealed the deal

I took a lift with a friend down to PMB and literally had no lift back , i entered the sellers yard and was graced with this site


Seriously it was love at first sight!

Had it's known issues , front suspension collapsed , Hi Los were included not fitted so had my first task at hand!



Was sitting a bit too low!

but i still loved everything about the car! it was neat , the seats and interior was neat , was missing backboard and hood lining (More exciting times regarding that coming up)



so it was time to get Casper loaded ! called up a flat bed and the journey back home began

we started this long drive back , and gitty as a child i was eager to get her in the yard and start her up.

We reached home and it was time to offload my new pride and joy



By then i was even more keen to get in and drive! so the next day bright and early , i contacted my good friend Ed and asked him for advice on attempting to do the Hi Los , he told me what he could and gave me some pictures and diagrams , and i was also being advised by Doug , so with a good luck from them both i started my first ever mechanical job which was tackling Hi Los on a Mini



Got my tools out and got the wheels off and started the struggle! constantly on the phone for help with Ed (Sensei)



My help via diagrams had arrived



so with a bit of motivation behind me i got cracking , a few cuts here and there , pinched skin , squashed fingers and a lot of sweat later i reached my next stage



Did not want to stop there so head down i got on with it , again numerous calls to Ed and Doug and i managed to get the passenger side done !!

At this point i took a break , realised that this was no easy task at all , but i was already half way there , so head down i got on with it , it took me 11 hours !! yes 11 hours! to complete this task



Greasy fenders later the car was ready to hit the road , started her up with the aid of jumpers only to find out after the drive that the starter motor was fried as well , Doug was at hand to help me out there and supply me one

came home got the new starter and fitted it



Starter in and with the first swing Casper shook into life !

Loved every minute of driving it , i was content at the time but slowly but shortly the eagerness to get things done kicked in

so what would have taken me 5/6 months had now turned into a 2 month frenzy!

That nasty mark on the door that you see , was because the driver side door had no door stop , got one of those and fitted it in , good thing was i was doing the work by myself so learning about the car as my journey goes on.



Doors did not open from the inside so for the few weeks i was stretching and opening the door from the outside like a gentleman that i am

Went to Doug who helped me with one door only to find out that the door opening mechanisms were put on upside down , so right door had left and vice versa

got home and started with that !

Evening Gents!

Ridhwaan Elias here , member of the Mini Owners Club in Kzn , as most of the guys know i'm a fan of the Bini , i own 1 , but i've always wanted a classic

with the help of Trinesh and Ed , they advised me on what to look for and i managed to come across Casper!

a beautiful white 1275E rebored to 1380 , still running twin su carbs

I will be posting a build thread on all the work i have done so far.

Thanks Guys! Hope to one day meet all of you

Hi Guys,

As some of you know I had a knock with the clubby a while back and the bonnet was bent out of shape. Now after speaking to a reputable specialist, who said that it could be straightened properly, I got him to straighten it. The problem now is that it wasn't done well and the bonnet is still bent and looks lousy.

Before I take the bonnet to another body shop, I'd like to know what a straight second hand bonnet would cost (preferably in red ) and whether repair versus replacement is the route to take.

Thanks,

Vinay

Good day, 

I have a Mini LTD body, with interior, papers and most of the parts needed to build a complete car. I am also selling a brand new LCB manifold and new brake cylinders for all wheels along with one master cylinder, all imported from the UK. 

The car is completely stripped and body is in bad shape, I have a replacement front cradle/valance.

There are extra wheels, petrol tank and a window or two. 

I want to sell everything as a package for R15 000 (slightly negotiable)

Transportation should be arranged to collect in Roodepoort, West of Johannesburg.

Hi guys,

So my dad has always wanted a Moke and last year we managed to find one that was undergoing restoration but the owner had lost interest. Its an ex-military version which I believe was used by the air force. The project is currently on the back burner a bit but we are collecting parts for when we do start working on it this year. Our plans are to try and keep it old school with some tasteful upgrades to make it more drivable. We are looking at doing to golf brake upgrade but what does this entail? Can I use the single circuit master cylinder? Also my dad wants to fit a 1275 engine but im not sure its worth it as the car has an 1100. Here are some photos:

Hi guys,

Im looking for a pair of front indicators and lenses for a Clubman, if anyone has anything please let me know.

Thanks
Tim
