That would be a head turner in my town hooked up.

Just find a Cooper 'S' engine, do the Cosworth mods to it and it'll give your Charger a run for its' money. Some of the modified 'S' engines have put out over 800HP. I'll have to try and find the picture of the Mini 'S' with both front tires smoking. In fact he smoked them right down to the cords.

Nice find!!!!

LOL... I figured you would get one, not so quick though, after you found that Mini at Wendys. The grin on your face said you were really into the Mini.
Congrats on finding one. But man!!! 3 projects on the go.
Just finnish that A-rod and sell it to me , so you can pour some money into the SRT-killer.

There was an optional 12" tire that you could get on the Cooper S or if I remember correctly there was a 13" japanese rim that also fit. If you're going with the Honda power train are you keeping the 10's or upgrade to a larger tire?

I love the original Minis. My uncle had one but had to tear out the front seat and drive it from the back seat since he's about 6'6". I'm sure yours will be great when finished. Have fun with it - it looks like you are already!

I want a project car myself one day, but I can't really decide what car it should be. One obstacle is that I want to learn enough to do it mostly myself, but I don't know anything basically, so it'll be a LONG project whatever it is - But I believe the reward is the finished project you've done (mostly) yourself which makes all the hard work worth it.

I've been thinking about an old Volvo 122 (Amazon) since my dad had one and I love the car or maybe a C4 in need of some TLC.... time will tell.

Unless you flipped the pictures you have a Right Hand Drive with the optional wood steering wheel which is very hard to find.
