I saw your old post about picking around 17 of the Mini Mokes that used to be on Catalina Island. Do you have a record of the Mokes? I am trying to find one with license plate WXR276, it was rental number 47. Would like to know what happened to it since my family rented it back in the late sixties to around 1972. Thank You

malsal.. totally agree.  could NOT be that hard to make fiberglass mold for  UK moke shell.. btw. the chinese  are down to $4500 on the last 27 Chokes. in Chongqing. China..  only worth $2500 as the choke shell is all that is really any good on them.. and you know after they have been sitting for TEN yes.. the paint is $Hit..  later bc

As Mokes are/were used in a lot of warmer climates near the ocean air i never understood why nobody made an exact copy Moke shell. I am not talking about a Cub, Scamp, Jimini and others which were all Moke "copies" some produced in steel and some produced in fiberglass, it seems Mini saloons, convertibles and pick ups have been done in fiberglass but maybe there is not as big of a demand for a Moke.

Great buy - bringing them Home to Restore and re create - M Panels are Awesome Fit great and aided in my rebuild.

 

Robster - Moke's on the highway - OF COURSE!  More than one is the most fun!!

 

 

And your face will look like this!

 

But you dont have a runing mini so you cant compare!

 

 

Best of luck on the new lease of life on these bodies!

P.S. Time to powdercoat that Segway and add some ashwood embellishments.

OMG!!!! eewww! you got me there miniestate, honestly the only way to piss me off is to show the picture of that estate car thing or whatever its called.

your car painter must have alzeimers, he forgot to remove the masking tape around the panels, haha

pls dont get mad at me but seriously those wood sidings does not really look nice, if i were you i'd take it out.  

no offense meant just telling the truth. and just a brotherly advice

 

You should listen to your brother Miniestate, if anyone knows how to devalue a mini, Robster does.

In this case I'd go as far to say he's an expert.

Lets keep this thread for Roger and John's  great purchase of the catalina mokes.

If you want to discuss the cost of restoring a moke or building a new one open up a new thread. I'll happily join in.

If you were to include a show winning paint job £9k would be about right.

Now people just go there for the  drag queens and old castles.  you should try Catalina ,you might meet some young vietnamese boys to drive in your overpriced solid gold moke

Yeah the whole world should learn how to rig and cobble up with your half ass way of repairing $hit and it would be a better place i am sure.

Gold Moke getting me confused with BC i think, that's what happens when you have too many screen names Pacific Luke.

You need to go back the Catalina i heard the internet is none existint there we could all get back to normal here.

Judging by what you have done to your car if you wear glasses get that pescription checked if not invest in  some, don't bother with the expensive ones from an optician just go to the Dollar store they sell the cheap magnifier ones right next to the snake oil aisle (yes you know where)......
