Hampton Roads Club Mini

Roy, the car would need a cage and a fuel cell.  The old cage has been removed and sold same as the fuel cell.  As it is now, it either needs a new fuel cell or a new boot floor and battery box since there is a big rectangular hole where they used to be.

My flares would cover the rear fenders, but they have been cut a little to make the car able to be lowered.

The fronts are so cut out - mostly towards the front of the car that regular flares won't work - the radius is too big.

Even if I can get the wife buy in, this is a long way from a perfect find.  The firewall has been cut and a box inserted to allow clearance for a weber. 

Shawn, I agree on the lovely sound of the A series.  Hoping to get mine on a dyno in Novmber to see how little Hp it actually makes.

Getting back to the main reason this thread was started.

I searched for about a year and a couple months. That alone was an incredible learning experience. I'm still learning new things regularly.

Buying a Classic on E-Bay isn't so bad, once you learn what to look for. If you want minimal work once you get one, be prepared to spend alot, likewise  if you don't mind the extra work, save some money at purchase time, then put it in when you decide which way you wish to build the car.

There's lots of nice Classics out there, and theres plenty of turds too. So keep in mind the old adage "Buyer Beware".

I feel like I did pretty good with mine, some might say otherwise. Just so your happy, and have the fun your looking for when it's all done.

Good Luck, and shoot me a PM if you have any ?'s I might be able to help with.
