Ok I'll bite.

66 Austin Cooper S ('59 body) <---- for sale.

'71 Mini (with the Union Jack).

Used to have an '02 MCS until Mini of Hawaii and Mini NA / BMW NA reared their ugly corporate heds.

I would contact them and tell them what you are Dinomatting. they would probably have a closer guess as to how much you should buy.

One thing I will be doing latter is fiber glassing the floor boards over the top of the Dinomat. It's supossed to make your Mini almost sound proof.

For some reason I don't think they will have a book on a Mini . I just thought you may have remembered from your work. I will do it the old fashioned way and go measure the spaces.

The material comes in 15 wide roles if that helps you. Sorry I didn't answer sooner. I didn't put the dinomat in myself it was done at the place that is building my car.

Here is a little something to feast your eyes on. My Mini is almost complete. They will start on the electrical on Friday.

Well, here's both my cars, Big M and Little M. Little M is a ratty '73 Innocenti 1300 Export, but runs like a striped ape, and has great restoration potential...

I too had difficulty figuring out how to add a pic of my Mini?!?
I uploaded 3 pics, but there was no dialog box.
Anyhow,
it's a 1973 Morris Mini upgraded to the specs of a 1989 Mini Sky.
White body, but has had a Union Jack painted over the sky blue roof.
I've added 5 spoke revolites, w/ falken 165/60R12's, and a "SafetyDevices" front and rear roll cage. Wifey-Poo didn't want me to drive it the 50 miles a day to work without assurance that I wouldn't be flattened on the highway. Hah!
I've driven it 19K in the last 16 Months and have had stunning reliability and have loved it.

I am new here! My 1960 Morris Mini Minor!

Hello... I have lots of stories to tell about this 1960 Morris Mini Minor 850.


During Restoration


After Restoration - Rebuilt MG 1098


Finally overriders! Never had them!


Finally Done! Dont mind the messy garage!


New Interior imported from England!

The car is now in the process of having the transmission rebuilt. Cant wait to get it moving again. Appreciate everyone here and their classic minis! I wouldnt trade this car for a new one ever. Have owned this since I was 13, over 30 years ago.

More stories to come!

Blessings,
Dale
