I get a PM on another site from a guy who is working on a mini and he said He is close to our place. I reply and give him my email and we shoot a couple back and forth. It turns out his is also a 1960, also speedwell blue, also an early one his build date was 25 feb I'm 12 jan. I wonder what the odds are that 2 cars the same color built weeks apart 54 years ago on the other side of the world would end up being restored at the same time not 10 miles from each other? This is Ricks car at least it's still blue.
That is crazy 4.gif
Strange that there are two people nuts enough to jump into restoring old Mini's within 10 miles of each other...but the car thing is crazy!
Thats Awesome ! That car looks exceptionally SOLID!
Put drive gear in it- and go - Keep it aged.!
It is very solid. Not much work required, but since it is in that stage I would prefer to have the body work done and repainted. Will need to have the engine rebuild too.
Hey hey neighbor glad to see you logged in. Welcome to the sight.
And another new face appears. Welcome here new guy. Good luck with the Resto.

When we get all 3 done it would be fun to get a photo of them together some time when your passing thru since the build dates are so close.
And then I'll drive down and crash the party with my resto-mod monstrosity. Haha

Yeah it would but if I don't get busy... Keep getting distracted researching property and debating whether to survey it. Corners have never been set so don't know where they are but have good guess I think. Timeshare disputes....
but did manage to get Brake and Clutch Master cylinders honed and seals replaced. Clutch MC is 59 correct bean can with removable nut on top. Tested both with no leaks and worked good.
