Outstanding muscular classic mini-
Entering it in any shows?
I see a video screen in the engine bay? and two on the rear shelf.

Got any specs and interior shots?
Great work. Thanks for posting.

Holy.... Awesome mini!


I'd have more to say, but my jaw is still on the floor and there's drool coming out.

Not very attractive, to say the least.

Hey, don't burst the Guy's bubble. His little mini just might kick your big MINI's butt.

Lol. I meant my drool, silly. Really...the pic of his car was still on my monitor; my wife came by; she just gave me a "I'm not cleaning that up" look.

Really nice mini at any rate.

Truly an object of insane passion. Absolutely magnificent. Worthy of a Best of Class award. Now, what's next?

Well they didn't make 'em like that in '61! I'd be more a fan of a historic restoration myself, but that is awesome work!!! Good for you!

Looks great. My only negative comment would be about the front splitter. It does not look right on the car. It is too square, and it looks to be angled up? Lift?

Overall, you deserve a good pat on the back. Great project. Thanks for sharing.

Now, what about the body kit you created for the new MINI?
