I made an offer on a mini in dallas at 5pm friday night and was on the road (from Houston) the next morning to pick it up (about 10 hours round trip). A quick summary of specs is that it's a true 66 Cooper shell, with dual fuel tanks, swifttune 1380 race motor with upgraded cams, frame up restoration done in 2000 and full respray done in 2006, stripped interior with reinforced subframes and sparco bucket seats... and of course, 10" wheels

Here are some pics

Butt shot with dirty garage



In the garage next to it's younger brother

Here's the 78 mini that still being worked on.



BTW, please do not ask me when I'm selling, if I'm selling, or how much I'll be selling my mini for. I don't want the moderator to think I'm trying to sell it indirectly while being a guest


That's all...hope everyone has a great short work week
