1972 mini with B series engine
I just thought I would post a few pictures of a cool project I got to be a part of. This is one of the cleanest mini's I have seen. I am not sure if the owner wants specs given out at this point, but I took a few snaps to show you guys. The project is still not 100% done, but very close. I know he has some fender flares going on next to tuck the wheels. I think the car will be raced at the Pomona NHRA race just for fun

It has a fully built b18c engine that I built for it. I was told the car with roll cage weighs 1600pds. Does seem like it might be lighter though. All the wiring is mil spec done by TrueNorthStar

Re: (turbochic)
I did not know they made these in the USA
However this model of car brings back fond memories for me!
I remember when I was a child the mini cooper was the first ever street driven race car i ever sat/drove in i remember it had OMP seats and full roll cage!
Nice trip down memory lane!
How did you get this car did they make them in Canada or something?

Re: (Innes)
We are building the exact thing for a customer here for the road course.. The only thing different is it is haveing a dry sump setup on it and it is going to be turbocharged.. (fully built)... 450 hp on pump gas... sounds like fun...
