This is a VTEC conversion I had built. I wanted to be able to surprise some people on The Dragon (near my home). And I wanted to build a classic Mini that I could drive on the interstate in comfort. I installed A/C and Cruise control. This is a drivers car, not perfect, presentable enough to go to cruise in's. I Have taken it to many Mini meets, and shows. I started with a rust free 1972 Mini imported from Australia. For those not in the know, these cars had exterior hinged doors, roll up windows, and vent windows (very rare in a Mini). I wanted to keep the car RIGHT HAND STEERING, so I purchased the MTK package. The items from Minitec include- wide wheel fender flairs, A/C, front and rear braided brake hoses, aluminum engine mounts, super brakes, MK1 mounting kit, MTK Package, K wiring harness, Flip front end kit, racing petal kit, rear coil over sub frame kit. This was a cost of $10,874. Other items purchased were- Honda K20 2A engine (used with less than 40K miles) and 6 speed transmission w/ limited slip, Cost of $3500. Wheels and tires, cost $1000. Dakota Digital dash and cruise control, cost $700. K Pro programmable ECU, cost $1200. Donor car, cost $6000 . Paint, cost $3000. Seats from a Honda Prelude, cost $300. I have spent more than $26,174 in parts for this car. I have driven this car for 4 years. It has traveled 5400 miles since it was put together. The unfinished parts are The underside of the front end and the boot have Not been painted. The back seat is still original. There has been No stereo installed, there are speakers in the back. I have Not built a console around the shifter. This car is a driver, if the winning bidder wants to fly to the Knoxville, TN. airport I will meet them to drive it home.

The battery box was raised to make room for the A/C condenser. I found a rust spot. The car is no longer rust free. The last photo shows the rust. The location is left side where the fender meets the floor, about 2 to 3 inches long. If the high bidder wants to retract his bid I will understand.
