Minimanias' "ASH" wood kit is $2K- If l added it to the Clubman Estate, do you think the value would climb by $4K ?? BIG AL

If you think re-doing the wood on a Mini is bad try doing a Morris Minor Estate... Steve You will learn more about Minis by driving one for 30 minutes than if you read every book written about them.

Somerford Mini Center, UK. Couldn't be happier with the quality. At the time reportedly the cheapest price as well. Make sure in install it with weather stripping which makes up for any gaps between the wood and body.

Nick L in Chicago (or his wife) has the nicest looking wood kit on his blue wagon- I believe he purchased the vehicle from Dan Viola in Rochester N Y- I re-did one once, never again-Right up there with installing head liners- BIG AL

I dont know why I didnt keep the old kit. Its up there on the list of stupid things from my past , ah well. I was surprised to hear your kit was oak, I thought the new ones were all ash. Unless it was custom made I guess then they are not all equal. If you have bought one recently tell me about it, where from and wether or not its awesome.

Real ebony is over 600 pounds a cubic foot over here so I would think it would look super expensive, Sellers over here sell is by the cubic inch! Peter No more cars left, Westpaminis is now just a memory, Good luck to all those hard working dealers left out there, We can tell you its not easy. We have fully enjoyed meeting all the fine folks we have in the business.

Do you have the old wood? I have a brother that is probably the best wood worker in California. I can ask him if he could make it. Thank You in advance! Stieve Grumpy: I'm bettin' The Joker told you to kill me soon as we loaded the cash.

People are like slinkeys; they dont really serve a purpose but you cant help laughing when one falls down the stairs.
