I need some help here, buying a 1966 MKI from a friend, the car he possess does not have paperwork. 

How would I go about getting paperwork together for this car? I understand it is a LENGTHY and almost IMPOSSIBLE feat, but maybe someone here has POSITIVE experience that they could share with me?

Thanks
J

I'd just like to get an idea of what the car would look like with these wheels done in a light silver :



Anyone able to help? Thanks.

Welcome to try other colours as well.

I am looking to put standard front seats into my car as the bucket-seats I have in mean I can't use the back seats. When I bought the car it had two broken Alfa GTV seats in, so I never had the standard Mini seats.

I would need to get the seats reupholstered to look the same as the rest of my interior, so it's fine if they not in perfect condition.

Also, I have a nice little 3-spoke sport steering wheel on, but I need to get it redone as it's  coming apart. I would not mind replacing it with a wood rim wheel, but still a smaller, sporty one.

I am a bit out of the loop with this as I haven't run my car for a long time...

Based on two categories:

- Daily car
- Weekend car

How much does it cost you to run your classic Mini? Fuel consumption? How often do you service? Cost of it? What breaks more than often? All the basic things that could cost you money. Insurance etc.

I'm keen on using my Mini every now and then as a daily when I feel like it. After sorting it out of course. Just keen to see what you guys think of the running costs of these cars vs more modern dailies.

Im looking to upgrade the wheels and tyres on my '68 MK2. Would like to get Minilight Replica Rims or similar. ideal sizing is 5x12". Please PM me if you have something.

Hi,

So I've been thinking of an alternative use for my mk1 shell and I have seen a few pictures of mini trailers like:

       

Some have made them short and others long. Some I believe have reused the roof to make a solid top trailer.

Has anyone in SA tried this? any suggestions on size/length? hard top vs soft top?

More importantly is it just a case of mark, cut and weld close and weld on a tow attachment to the rear sub-frame?

I'm thinking it will be a great way to practice my non existent welding/fabrication skills.
