Leonardo Posted June 11, 2013 Report Posted June 11, 2013 I guess I'm in the Classic group of minis. Mine is a 1969 Riley Elf III, that's the Mini with a boot. It's a little rough right now but the body work is started, the car runs and drives well and except for the passenger set the upholstery is in nice condition. BUT, first I'm going to put in those new front floor pans so my feet stop hitting the road when I stop....I feel like Fred Flintstone.

Leonardo Posted June 11, 2013 Author Report Posted June 11, 2013 Once I can figure out how to post them I will. Can't seem to get to the "Album" in Control Panel. Did FAQ....still can't post'em.
TGGRRR (Ali) Posted June 11, 2013 Report Posted June 11, 2013 you can post here as an attachment using the paper clip, or if you have them hosted on something like Flickr you can use the URL Tigger 2006 the cabrio and Riversong the 2014 Countryman
TGGRRR (Ali) Posted June 11, 2013 Report Posted June 11, 2013 What paper clip? I always get confused about that, it may not be available if you're only a forum member, it may be one of the things you get when you become a full club member. But you can always add a URL Tigger 2006 the cabrio and Riversong the 2014 Countryman
RDG_RCR Posted June 11, 2013 Report Posted June 11, 2013 Awesome looking car! Can't wait to see what you do with it!
Edge Posted June 11, 2013 Report Posted June 11, 2013 In order to link to an image (using the icon), you have to paste in a URL that is directly to the image itself, NOT to the page containing the image. In order to do that from the Flickr links above: Right-click directly on the image Choose a size (from "Medium 500" to "Original"), and that will take you to another page containing the image in its new size. Then, right-click directly on that image, and choose "Copy Image Location" or "Copy Image URL" (depending on your web browser). Use that URL with the image icon above () and the image will embed for you here. As far as the paperclip icon (this one: ) is concerned, that's for "attaching" actual files to your post. It is only available in the "Advanced" view when editing a message, and only for actual (paid) club members, not guests, because it consumes storage on our web server.

TGGRRR (Ali) Posted June 11, 2013 Report Posted June 11, 2013 Love the Mini, especially that front grill Tigger 2006 the cabrio and Riversong the 2014 Countryman
Leonardo Posted June 11, 2013 Author Report Posted June 11, 2013 Floor pans are on the way and should have for this weekend. I'm getting it ready for the new pans, back is in fair condition, rust is here and there with some rework needed around the headlight mounting. I plan to do some spot sandblasting this weekend too at the blisters. Some of the metal is thin so I will cutout and weld those areas. Some body filler will have to be used. I have Historic tags and it is drivable, just a little sad looking right now. I was told on the Riley Elf page that we have about 25 of them in the States and 800 world wide. 998 cc's of pure madness.
Stephatron Posted June 11, 2013 Report Posted June 11, 2013 This is awesome and definitely one of a kind!! I love it!
