Default 1971 Mini Cooper build
Well this is my Dads mini, we have been working on the car for a straight 5 years changing things here and there. Modifying a lot of the car with modern parts. Just took a run up to the shop that is doing the paint and body work and its looking great. Paint should be done next week and we begin to put it back together with all NEW interior and everything. The car also has "dont laugh" 1380cc seven enterprises race engine that alone was $7,000 and if you saw this motor in person it is SUPER small. The car has the trick suspension and no expense was spared. My dad has taken this car really to the next level.
