hi guys, my name is sean and im 15. i live in australia and have 2 minis, the first is a 1962 (or 64 possibly) 850 which has been changed a fair bit from standard!, its got an 1100cc engine, which will soon be replaces by a metro 1275, it has cooper s discs, twin dtm exhaust, custom dash etc etc etc.. ive been restoring it since i was 12, it was a dodgey lookin thing back then.





my second one is a 1968 mini deluxe. its going to be a race car when its done (dunno when thattle be!!) ive started stripping it.. engine, subframes interior, built a custom bracket to mount the seat in, and fitted the dash and guages, ive got a metro engine coming out from the uk for this one, that will be heavily worked, getting a roll cage built soon too, shouldnt take too long from now.. these are fairly old pics, looks a bit different at the moment... alot less like a mini, just a shell.
