I'm on the verge of a Mini Cooper restoration job. Can anyone please help me in finding parts and service for my Mini. Referrals, directions, and basic tips on how to go about it would be most welcome!
Please post on this thread, email me at papa_ramir*yahoo.com, or text 0917 8114873 for any and all suggestions.
By the way, i live in Cavite, work in Makati, and my hometown is Marikina. Just in case you'll be giving directions to a service shop or a parts center.
if you got friends in singapore, pa assist ka sa kanila to find parts for you. The classic mini cooper was still being used/sold brandnew under rover badge way back 1996 (time when i left singapore)...so I supposed, there would be junk yards or even shops that have parts for it, modelo pa!
Then ipa ship mo na lang via balikbayan cargo para mura lang at walang tax. Medyo at least a month nga lang bago mo ma-receive.
dre there's a shop along visayas avenue going to tandang sora (can't recall the exact name post ko pag nadaanan ko mamaya) alam ko sila yung nag source out ng parts for mini copper's. yung shop malapit dun sa montessori at bago lumampas ng cocoy's pares isang building yun na may katabi na elecotrnics repair shop. hth
I'm also new here and also my first post but I hope I can help. I'm a member of minipilipinas. It's this group na crazy about minis at nagrerestore ng mga classic minis. papa_ramir mentioned he 's from cavite, our shop is located in cavite and we have everything as in everything na pwede mo ilagay sa mini and it's originally all from the UK. If you want to view some restored minis jsut check the gallery here you can also check rohan's gallery. BTW, we meet every saturdays at the fort, it'll be great if you could drop by.
we do have a mini restoration shop and its called Classic Mini Constructor, an affiliate of MiniPilipinas. like what miniman said, we do have most of the parts that you may need to complete your restoration project.
for complete restoration, may we invite you to our shop so you may see the actual process and discuss the mini model, price range, etc.
I hope this thread is still alive. Me and my dad are planning to do a restoration of mini from scratch. Anybody knows where we can buy a shell of mini cooper?
where exactly your shop in cavite located? btw, im from carmona. gusto ko lang magka idea kung sakali magkaroon ako ng mini. para makita ko na rin kung pano mag restore. thanks!
hi, im a new user. does anyone knows how much is the tax for 2003 mini cooper s coming from USA? to be shipped in manila. any ideas? or suggestions? thanks!
Salamat po. I'm happy to tell you that the restoration is on its way. Will keep you updated on developments. Salamat sa tsikot.com!(parang home tv shopping endorsement ha.)
To those who haven't given their 2 cents worth,
Hoy Gising! Mag-share naman kayo ng info! Para naman kayong hindi christians! =) hehehe. biro lang.
clavell,
if you're serious about it, contact mo si rohan.
miniman,
My mini is still, as we say, "in the shop" so i can't go to your Saturday meets at The Fort yet. In due time, my good man, in due time. =) Wala pa akong "K" pumunta doon...hehehe. At, maglalaway lang siguro ako pag nakita ko ang mga Minis niyo.
mar38,
Visit rohan's minishop but be careful...You might get bitten by the Mini bug...GASTOS! =) Hehehe.
Rohan,
Nice speaking with you. Will contact you very soon. May Mk1 parts ka naman, di ba? May 1000cc engine ka rin ba? text me.
paparamir : we also have 998cc engines (aka 1000cc) in stock, but we specialize on 1275cc, more efficient and powerful..just text me when you want to visit the shop..
mar38 : as we have discussed and what paparamir posted..you'll be bitten by the mini bug..hahahaha just check us out in the upcoming Hataw04, we'll display some of our cars there...maybe you can text drive one of our minis..
