Replaced the 10" wheels with new 12". Wheels, tires, and arches came from England. Much better ride now.

All new rubber for the glass came as well. Will remove all glass and start on body work soon.

The original seats looked good but were not comfortable. They did not recline and there were no seat belts. I got some Honda Civic seats and harnesses from pullapart for $65. The mounting bolts for the top point of the shoulder harnesses fit the Austin inserts from the factory! Much more comfortable and safer now.

This mini has all original interior and exterior. Talk about spartan, it doesn't even have a heater!

Total renovation and modifications are in progress. Check back here for updates.

Underneath it is far from original. The original 850 engine has been replaced with a 1275 A+ series engine that has been bored out to 1380cc. The suspension is all new and lowered. New exhaust system has been fitted. Front brakes have been converted to discs.

I have 12" mini-lite wheels and arches on the way as well as all window and door rubber.
