I would love to see the interior and inside the bed.
Just when you think your safe.

The only Mini Cooper "GP" I have seen was not very pretty. I don't think it was ever washed or takin care of at all. I checked it out on my way in and it had crap all over the floor such as coffee cups, fast food bags etc. Rips in the seats, & It was Filthy inside and out. It was at Lowes in Daytona and when I came back out of the store the guy had 2 by 4's sticking out the passenger window as he pulled out of the parking lot.
At least this Mini Truck is clean and not going to turn into a piece of junk like the one I saw. Plus--- This guy can haul the lumber in the bed of this truck.
I think it is a pretty nice conversion and done well. It's not like this is a butcher job. I personaly like Hot Rod's and custom cars and this one is included. I have actually seen a grown man cry because he sold his totaly stock 34 buick to a guy that chopped it up and made a great street rod out of it.

There are many, many, many "uniquely" modified cars out there... one man's junk, another's treasure.

"vomit with rage" was my favorite until I got to "use a Ming Dynasty vase as a bedpan"
thanks for the belly laugh!
a casual observer might say some of us are purist, most are passionate, and all of us are bonkers!
no comment on the doors - politics, religion and personal choice for Minis are all topics I would not debate...

Sure enough is a nice salvage job on a wreck and as someone said glad it's not rotting in a junk yard somewhere. The bodywork man gets a two
! I would have left the doors alone though.

This is the cover story in Modern Mini this month.
It is NOT a wrecked car. He bought it second hand with the full intention of turning it into a truck. Dude owns another GP as well.
This one is #0858.
He also owns a Porsche 997 Turbo Carbio, an Audi RS4 and a new Nissan GTR; not to mention 12 motorcycles. Sounds like he's got enough money to build whatever he wants and he likely knows enough about cars to do it right.
I think it's great.

What doesn't make sense is that the GP was fairly unique by itself. It's special. If you're going to use a Mini in some frankencar project, why use such a rare ingredient? It's like using a $3000 whiskey to make a Whiskey Sour... just seems a waste.

Well...
Seems like his plan worked great, the car was built to raise attention for his company.
Its getting enough attention that you guys posted it here and were so concerned that you looked up information about him.
Job well done on his part.

Paris Hilton made a bit of a splash with her "private" video - all publicity is good publicity, right?
I think people overreact too much
So what if he wants to cut up a GP and make it into a pickup, it's his car it's his money, if he's happy then what's wrong?
