The flares add so much. Looks great!

They sure do, and are they cheap!!
Along with lowering stuff for the minis.
Archie, I know they actually READ out there in California, or have actual BOOKSTORES (as a place to hang out and have coffee, of course), unlike out here in hickville southern maryland; so go buy a few of the UK mini mags and check out some of the stuff they do.
They usually have pretty extensive parts advertisements, too.
You're gonna find that it's easier (and cheaper, believe it or not) to just order from the UK for these cars. Maybe I'm wrong, I'd love to have someone correct me, but this has been MY experience.

Here's mine :D



Just got fender flares for it too

[archie]

These cars easy to lower? This green one I looked at was higher in the rear. Would it take much to drop the rear and balance out the car with the front?

A couple more...




If you look in the background above the headlight of the blue car you can see my very first car, a 69 Camaro.

Back on topic, sorry for the poor picture quality.

Isn't a clean one running, go for about $20k+?

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.

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...)
