1st post introduction
Hi,
I joined NAM last July but never posted till today. Now that spring is knocking on the door, time for me to start catching up.
I have a 1969 Australian Mini K. Here's the link to my Photobucket album.

This Mini came to the USA in 2001. It was purchased in Australia from Minisport by an American couple and they had it shipped back with them. They sold it in 2007 and I purchased it from that 2007 buyer.
One of the previous Australian owners decided that he'd rather have a Cooper S so there were upgrades made to it.
Additional gas tank, 1275s engine (great upgrade), brake booster, Minilites, badging.
I've since replaced the 13" steering wheel with an original Austin wheel but I'm still on the hunt for an original BMC Mini K wheel.
Just installed new Falken Sinceras and new Boge shocks.
No fun installing the rear shocks as you must remove both gas tanks to do it.
