Its sad that 10 minutes with a grinder creates 10 hours to work to try and restore. And it would still never be the same.
Maybe he was thinking you need a commodore v6 to get historic plates like another thread!

You're right. There's nothing better than a half thought out idea. |

The body could be brought back if you had a spare firewall. |

Why is it people abandon projects after they have cut sick with the angle grinder! Not sure where they planned on putting the radiator, given the crank pulley is where the bumper goes! |

Someone was obviously dreaming of a fully sick burnout car. Its easy to cut heaps of metal of and "place" a motor in thier but it takes alot more to make it all work. Would say that its worth about $150. And thats for the commodore engine. |

I suppose like everyone else, I just can't get over the genius of putting a V8 in a mini. I mean really, think about it! Its a V8 in a Mini. Imagine that at summernats with all the other ones. Brilliant. So original. |

I got all excited thought finally a round nose for sale in WA. Then my ass broke in two when I saw the pics, what a complete waste of a car. If it wasnt 600kms away I would be tempted to try and save it, he could keep the engine. |

The transport to get it back too perth is worth more than the car. |

I think the three of us need to go on a road trip! Jason, you have the Defender, I assume you have a trailer? I'll pay for it. Rodney, you can beat the crap outta of the guy for being a dick! Let's rescue this poor Mini
