I can't remember if I have or not.  Last time I got any panels (ended up not installing them myself - sold with the particular Mini they were purchased for), was many years ago.

I do recall hearing decent reports about them, especially for having things in stock and fairly prompt shipping.  Again, that was a long time ago so things may have changed.

Sorry I can't be more helpful.  May someday need the information though - now that I have another classic Mini myself.

Ron,  Not timely, but I did order from M-Machine.  I bought Rand L inner and outer sills and floor up to the first groove, all welded up to be installed as a unit. M-Machine was the only people I saw offering this.  I ordered some other small panels for a total panel order of about $270.00  the shipping on these were $169.00 US.
The exchange at the time was $1.54 per Pound.  It took a couple of days for them to make the panels up and 3 days from when the were sent and I received them Fedex.

I have only dry fitted them but they look good.  I called the order in to make sure I was getting what I actually wanted.  Overall I had no problems and no complaints.

same same, they were decent quality (thickness) and shaped properly so they offered up well.

I have used a lot of panels from Mini machine. I have no complaints. But my projects are so far gone when I start that I probably wouldn't regognize bad fit. The one thing I can comment on are the half floor pieces. I got the ones with the outer sill also fitted. I can't tell for sure but it seems like the outer sill was shifted a bit from where it should be (front to back). But is doesn't matter because there is a lot of fitting to do at the ends.

They are great to deal with. Best to give them a call.  They will give you advice on various filler panels you might need that are not obvious. And they have done a lot with these to help problem areas.


But as Snack indicates, the shipping is a heavy cost. I still don't think the combined cost is too bad compared to the alternates.

Thanks guys, I have a good order going to them soon. Just placed a good sized order with Mini-Sport as well. Been saving up so I can get all my panels at one time and then really bust this car out!!!
