This was my mini in the back of a 6x14 cargo trailer.

 

Casse: That's some EGO you have.

 

Here's mine on an open Uhaul trailer.

 

Sorry, too much New Year's Eve bubbly...
I'll figure out the picture posting stuff later.

 

 

Leyland White with an original, lovely , but near mint, brown stripped interior. Previous U.K. were elderly owners rarely drove it on rare occasions and kept it garaged. 28,000+ miles on it. In terrific shape .

 

Hi Everybody,
Yep, I have a 1969 Classic Mini.

Maybe you saw it when I drove it to the east coast and back to Portland, OR when I did MTTS 2006 in it.
35 days on the road, over 10,000 miles, 28 states and made over 5,000 new friends .

Actually, I did see you in some video footage.

 

I would have joined you in the VTEC if I had a single life with no responsibilities

I think I have seen your car at AMVIV right?

 

Yep, it won "Best of Show" last year at AMVIV 3.
It's staying home this year.

K20A from the RSX Type S? 6 speed?

 

02-04 RSX Type S was was what I understood but I really didn't have questions in mind (like a normal person would likely have had )...and I think it's actually the K20A2 though I noted K20A.

Six speed? Not to my knowledge but at the time the conversation I was having was with Norman about the B-18 and that I recall was a 5. Don't know. I guess I ought to add that to my list next time I call them...I hate calling though and I don't think they're thrilled either.

 

Here's a picture of my 1965 Mini Cooper S The Flying Tomato at speed at Texas World Speedway in June 2006!

 

Hi all, im Bryan and live in Melbourne in Australia. I came accross this site by chance and after reading through a lot of posts i thought i would join up and add my 2 cents worth
I am restoring a 1964 morris 85o (Australian built) at the moment. Not into keeping it original... thats for the next time in 10 or so years!! Ive had the car for about 4 years (mabey closer to 3) and have had it off the road under a full resto for the past 12 months.
I bought the car in Perth (Western Oz) and drove it to Melbourne without touching it really! Thats about 4500 kilometers or 2000 miles!! Since then i have done a trip up to the north eastern tip of Oz (another 4500km each way) and back to Melbourne. I figure cars a re built to be driven and the mini is just so much fun!
My car has had a few lives in its 43 years and when i got it it was red wut a white roof... the paint was eons old and powdery but at the time all i had the cash (and) time to do was a quicky respray in the back yard with the help of my flatmates! The result was something quite radical!! That stuck for a couple of years and now im doing something more readical!!! Giving the Union Jack paint job a new twist!! (showing the cars heritage).
here is a pic of the Express as it was when i first got her!(I call her the Nullarbor Express ... the nullarbor is a desert in Oz that i had to cross to go from Perth to Melbourne)

and then after the back yard paint job!

On the trip north

and finally a taste of the rebuild.... this is the union jack paint job....


Well, all the above are the same car... I have posted a restoration thread about the car as well.

BTW. You guys have some nice minis there.

Cheers, Bryan

 

That is outstanding!!!

I want that paint job.
:D

 

I agree with Cassy - the new paint on the Nullarbor is ridiculous cool!

Although the back yard paint seemed John Lenon-esque and quite shaggy.

 

I've gotta agree with y'all, that's a sweet paint job! It's like the wind is making your paint flap in the breeze.

 

I'm trying to think if I've ever seen a Mini paint job that is cooler than that. I don't think I have. I'd like to see more of it.

 

This thread has a ton of pics detailing the entire rebuild process.

 

That is one BEAutiful pain job. Nice work

 

it sure looks like a pain job and not a paint job.
I really like it, but prefer the silver over the gold.

 

Sunkist is a 1981 Mini City 1000
Odie is a 1979 Austin Mini 1000

 

you have a mini named Odie... That's awesome!!!

no Garfield?

 

Here's a picture of our classic minis in Manila. I only get to drive them when I go for a vacation. I still do not have the financial means to import it here in the US. maybe in the future.

The pickup was re-bodied to MK3. The one behind it is a 1990 Mini Mayfair. and the 3rd is an original '62 Morris 850 (sold)

 

Beautiful PU. Did a great job on the conversion. BTW sent you a PM
