This is a 1979 Austin Mini built in England for Canada. We are the second owners of this particular car and we have owned it for seven years.

This shows the deseaming, custom front grill and wheel spats.

This one shows the custom exhaust and rear wiper.

"Bling" and a hand built Delco 180 amp alt.

More of the grill. The paint doesn't really show but it was painted at home adding gold, red and violet into the clear. Looks great in the sun.
