My latest round of powder coating! Any guesses to what parts aren't for the mini, and what they are for???

awesome project!!  make sure you get your kids in the pictures for the old photo albums to come.

It's about what we thought. I am going to take off both front wings to see exactly how bad it is in there. For now it looks like both front wings, both sides of the windscreen scuttle, a panels inner and outer, rear pockets, rear LWD extension, front floors, most likely both corners at the rear, lower bottoms of the doors, and both lower portions of the rear doors. I am happy about how straight the rear quarters are, not a ripple at all, the rear load bay, rear floors, both inner wings, and firewall, and the top is in pretty good shape. It is in better shape than my S was. I am just eager to get it up on the Spit and start getting into it.

so how does it look after blasting in your opinion?  is it more or less solid that you thought?

email or call the Clown, I had great service that way, and he actually knows minis.

new sheriff is a scam - they don't bother to answer emails

I bought the Mini with the trailer hitch already attached. It is a genuine 'Reese's' hitch believe it or not. I can't see how it's hooked up because the Mini has a full aluminum BL spec Rallye pan. Go figure.                                              Mini Estate

Ron,

Here's a hitch setup for the LWB Mini/Clubman.  If I can find one in Oz I will bolt it on the Van and bring it home for close examination/refinement.

I noticed from your pic above you have a hitch on there? How did you work that around the fuel tank?

Hi Ron,

       Definitely go with the 10 inch wheels (whichever style you decide). I myself prefer the Minilights. I have beautiful genuine Minilights on my '67 Countryman Woody. They are spendy though, but the 'GB' Minilight style wheels are a swell alternative. Good quality, (made in Italy), and good used 10" 'GB's surface now and then. Nice to see your Wagon is well on its way! It's nice to see this Woody Wagon topic on 'MM' has been extremely popular for some time. Gotta love dem Mini Woodies Man!!!!!!!!!!    Yeah, I'm partial to the timber!                                            Mini Estate

Ron, check with the Sheriff they have new ones not sure if our host sells them.

Ron-

Larry & Wendy from Baltimore MD (?) had a set of 5 cooper S steel rims (9 holes) for sale at S/T-New paint, just perfect- I of course low balled him (read death offer)- He politely ntold me to f/off-I deserved it- He took them  back home- I think $500.00 to $550.00  might buy them-A real bargain-

BIG AL

Yes, I do Really want the S type 10's. Maybe I could sell these 12's and find some S rims. I do have the 7.5 S brakes, and want to use them. I agree, the S wheels are the look I want. I have quite a few regular 10" 3.5 wheels. I have plenty of time still. Just thinking...

It's already got 7.5's - go for the 10"'s Ron - I like cupcakes regular steel wheels with 7.5's - What it really needs are a set of S's (mine are still not for sale...) and that is not my wagon

As you are going to use 7.5" discs Ron I would sell them on and get some period 10's especially on a MK1 woody, just my 02c.

I am thinking of using these wheels I have left over from my first mini. 12"  but Ithink they might look nice painted up. I wish they were 10's though. I hate the idea of having to but 12's for one car and 10's for another!

Got my Subbys back, now just waiting on the body, and the parts I ordered.

RC 40s we've bought need shortening of the link pipe from collector to 1st box because they are made for LWB (too).

I am pretty sure they make the exhausts for LWB Mini's as well.
