This was my dream first car, happy I got into an e30 instead, much better choice for first whip.

Shant, I see rust in all the usual places on that car. In my experience if you see rust on the outside of a mini multiply it by 3 and that's what it has underneath. They are way simpler than e30's but body work and paint work will cost the same as any other car. No one will charge less because it's smaller. In fact I just bought an Isetta which is even smaller than a mini and the guy at the body shop quoted me bit higher for paint (no major bodywork) than what he charged for an e30 M3. Also aren't older cars emission exempt in California? You should look elsewhere. I'll trade you for your white M3.

When i think about these all I can see is Mr. Bean and his mini being run over by a 20 ton tank. Hilarious with an epic face of despair. LOL

Trade what for the M3?:D

I'll have to actually bring mine outside for a better picture... but I'll repost my photo here anyways.
92/93 titled as a '76. Used to be MPI, now a 1275 auto. Boy is this bitch fun at 70mph mixing it up on the highway. You can shoot holes you never dreamed of before. (including white-lining)


Here's me in France about 4.5 years before I bought a Mini.


The real bitch about Mini's is that the engine/trannys are match and marry. There is an auto block and a manual block. No mixing. :hitler:

I plan to do THIS:


Drops right in, no extra modification. (well, maybe some shaving of the inside of the hood...)

Doesn't really look like a classic Mini to me...

No but it's the same motor driving the right wheels :)

I have always wanted a real mini.

Trade what for the M3?:D
