kyteler Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Thread: //oldschool.co.nz/index.php?/topic/51793-samanthamannells-1978-mini/ Colour looks good, can't help but think maybe the roof being white too would go with the white flares would look pretty chur also? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Threeonthetree Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Looks pretty chur, good job so far. ^thirded the white roof statement. Minis look sweet with the classic white roof. I had a similar era Mini which was yellow. I painted the roof white and it looked much better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kempy Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 I thought the white roof wasn't standard, but done later? My Dad bought a new blue mini'thou which changed from a blue roof to white after they treated the rust around the top seam so assumed all the white ones just had repairs done? Agree it looks better in white though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SP450andLE Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 If you need any parts give me a PM, and I can give you the OS discount for classiccarparts.co.nz - I manage the store in NZ Also, as for 10s, I have a set of Dunlop D1s laying around if you're interested? Take a look at my earlier build thread posts to see them. Be careful not to buy any 4x100 wheels as the Minis take 4x4" which is 101.6mm I think, so they won't quite fit! Great looking car btw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muncie Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 You can squeeze a 13" wheel on a mini provided you are prepared for big flares. I got mine sitting on 16" works at one stage it moved and rubbed on full lock reality was they were too big. depends what your prepared to move to fit the wheel you want anythings possible 13s look great 14s at a stretch with tiny tyres.
