Thanks to everyone who has followed and supported this build. It's been huge and so happy to be back behind the wheel. Two things:
1) I need to replace my headlining.
2) At the bottom of the gorge, looks like I ran over a condom?
+Mighty Car Mods eh, it happens. Thanks guys!
Congrats guys, mass respect to you for having your dream cars. Those are too nice and wish maaaadddd chops with them.
1) It is not that bad to be an urgent repair. 2) Good thing it was an unopened one!
Love the video! Follow you two religiously.. From the US and love muscle cars. Question... what do y'all think of modern US muscle cars i.e. Mustang Camaro and Challenger?
don't neglect to change the supercharger's oil ever 50,000 or so miles so it doesn't eat itself at 80,000-100,000 (ask me how I know and why I won't buy another BMW product)
I had a smile on the whole video. So awesome to see the happiness after a build is done. I can definitely relate.
I got you bro
same here!
I've had to settle for each joy of repair before the mods for the most part.
About 1 good mod every year or 3. Takes time.
Hey. Repairs make a car feel as much better as a mod. That's my true silver lining. :)
+DE “AutoBravado” Nichols It's taken me about 8 years to get my 86 to a point where It actually drives amazing without many "mods"... it's so satisfying to drive a car that I've put so much work into and to have it finally ready for an autocross...
ConnorWolf I'm sure it is!
We had a break through on driveability on my car. When my MAF was breaking near the time I put in a short ram, I got a vent solenoid backwards. This made it suck fuel vapor at all times instead of when the PCM wanted it.
I switched them thinking I must have put them on backwards, but when the PCM thought it had more air then it really did it helped it idle at all.
Of course after other things were fixed this made the car run worse, not better. Also, my car had a set wrong throttle screw all this time! It looked set by the factory, but I was wrong. As my diagnosis trainer at work taught me a few more things at work and adjusted this screw the fuel trims improved immediately!
At idle, every vacuum leak gets interpreted as a rich condition. It's still not perfect, but it's so much better! A few more fixes of time and not money are nice when you're broke.
Improving welds, cutting out a broken exhaust shield bolt to remove a rattle, polishing things...all stuff I already have to work with. I'm feeling way more upbeat about the whole project! I'm making videos at every repair and even a few about mods and DIY fixes most pro's won't do like water decarbonization.
That's why I think my heart responded tremendously to Moog's joy in this episode. :)
looks like he was trying real hard to hold back those tears, this mini means alot to him in a really big way. All i want to know is when does it race the beetle?
+IrnMaiden304 gramps needs to race this :)
Lol the bug got a whole new engine and turbo I doubt the mini would hold up
minis are for Handling
there is some weird coolant running down my right cheek.
Blinker fluid leak, it happens.
You got a Lithuanian second name
the pain of waiting every day for a new mcm... just to see the mini finally finished. I couldn't be happier that it actually brought a tear to my eye. I'm so happy for you
same, might have shed a manly tear
+Jake Osgood I guess some one snuck onions in near you too
+Mike Muniz Awfully dusty in here, it would seem.
+Tyler Huston glad to hear it
Better love story than Twilight.
+Moose How can you refer to the Mighty Mini and Twilight in the same sentence? Shame on you, shame.
I mean, this mini connects him to his family memories.
Did anyone else get emotional in this video? Seeing Moog drive his dream car and talk about his days as a kid driving one made me want to drive one. Hearing Moog describe this car and talk about the history of the car (A few videos back) made me want to give a Mini a go and some back roads. Every car is unique in its own way, just like the people that own them.
Lol at the "thought you can leave without saying goodbye" reference from fast and furious
A Mini flying on Unicorn Farts and Tofu. Go Moog!
Unicorn Farts are for V-Tec.. Don't you know anything about MCM?
+Shona r u for v tech XD I'm dead
+Shona unicorn farts make everything better. Vtec is just 1 million farts at the same time. Who said that other cars can't have a few unicorn farts?
Perfect song for this video. And I have a Honda Civic, but it's the perfect car for me. :)
Hondas are good. Anyone who doesn't think so needs to try one. That's why I bought an S2000. But we always have a bit of light hearted rivalry here. It's the Australian way.
+Sean Kallas DUDE! i was thinking the same thing... Ive been driving Civics for 20+ years, and know exactly how Moog feels getting back into a car that holds so many emotions/memories for him. Regardless of the sarcastic jab at the Civic, it makes me happy to see this video and makes me want to go for a run down some of my favorite back roads ive been driving forever in the car that knows them and me the best!
+Mighty Car Mods any chance of you two revisiting a certain, cut-in-half AWD car you had shipped in from Japan some time ago...?
I'm just dreaming of a Daihatsu Time Attack build ;) My mum had a Cuore in the early '90s
I have Hondas civics, they are great cars, I love mine, never let me down!
+Sean Kallas It would be nice if their music was offered in lossless.
look at moogs smile that's what building your own cars about it doesn't need 1000hp it just need to make you happy
badass little mini. its true, the perfect car is the car that makes you feel good about yourself
The smile on Moog's face says it all. Just awesome!
This is literally the best channel on RUclips, its that good its even better than Top Gear (especially now)
Road kill is pretty awesome.
+Clash rollin twin turbo, haggard garage, 1 loud 6.7, 1320 video, auto top NL.....
You touched my life once and for all back when you did the Trd Lazer.
I was just looking for mods to do to my car.
I typed 'car mods' on youtube.
Since then, you make my day when you upload a video.
You are a huge inspiration.
I'll be honored just to say to my kids and family that I grew up and matured watching Mighty Car Mods.
You are my friends.
I love you guys.
I really do.
Thanks for everything.
This is and always will be my favorite video on RUclips
Sam C real nigga shit
Would love to have seen the supercharger. How does it run?
"The best car in the world is the one that makes you feel the best about yourself when your driving it." Best quote about cars I have ever heard. This is why MCM speaks to so many, it's not about the mods, crazy converstions or epic trips to where ever. It is about the pleasure we all get from a hunk of metal that nothing else can give us and sharing it with the people around us.
This is one of those videos that will always be a great example of a true automotive enthusiast, and be around way beyond we all are for others to see. Emotional video...great build! Good job guys.
"5 minutes into mini and chill"
Who else noticed this?!?!?!?!!!?!? LMAOOOO
+Jacob Mcgary forgot the time. 7:08
+Jacob Mcgary Yep. My reaction: "Of fucking course" ;)
+Jacob Mcgary
FYI: That clip is actually from a previous video, text and all
I can respect the hard work and dedication you all put to this awesome mini, it truly shows!
Damn those ninjas slicing onions
+DEEP BASS Yeah man, the joy on Moogs face was pure emotion. being human isn't bad, at times.
no kidding!! and I'm a grown ass man we don't do this shit! great build
Well,that went well, was just checking,if any new videos are up and here you guys are. Thankyooouu.
Was this more emotional than it should've been for anybody else?
yes.. I nearly cried
+Dorian W (Redd) These guys are so full of love for cars and their friends. The positivity is positively infectious!
+Dorian W (Redd) yes it was and idk why
+Dorian W (Redd) I think I've an idea of how it'd feel, so, not too surprising, there's like first cars and favorite car and first love cars, and imagine getting all that together after however long, and just so. :) Wouldn't be a Mini for me, but yaknow.
Dorian. I'm so worn out from work that I just got up to happy. But yes, MCM had gotten me to cry happy tears.
A while ago I got injured and watching their videos is one of the things that got me through.
Psychology suggests that when we watch someone do something on TV our minds think of it like we're doing.
That helps when I couldn't do anything for months!
That little video montage of the build and moments with the buds is literally the best thing ever, they strung that all together and boom his mom at the end I almost cried happy tears. I've never been so happy to see a man in his mini.
you either speak "car" or you don't, no matter who you are or where you're from. its a special community and these guys are definetly part of it.
Is that a condom at 2:55???
Yep,gross
+That guy who rides YZs Burn some rubber!
lol moog just talked about that in the comments just now
+That guy who rides YZs sexual protection?! Ew
+Tomás Jarsun at least its still in the wrapper.
Damn it Moog, you're making me misty with how happy you are with your car.
I absolutely love this mini. I learnt how to drive at 8 years of age in a 1969 twin carbide mini in a paddock behind a shopping centre in Cleveland Brisbane. I could watch endless episodes on minis. My dream is to own one when I can afford one and make it run and look like this beautiful car. Well guys, you out did yourselves with this car and the 9 episodes dedicated to it. Thanks for,the great viewing. 😀
being able to see someone smile like that while driving their car... That's how you know it's a good car.
Congrats on the build!
Looks like Moog is tearing up at the end, he's a happy man :)
The second I saw Marty and Supergramps I expected some Eurobeat to start and the sky go instantly dark and camera panning on pedals and gear shifts ;)
and takahashi watching and analysing the race
^ damn straight
+Scummy Brummy *Eurobeat intensifies*
and suddenly they be thinking about how to win the race and listing out the disadvantages of the other car in their mind
Balo657 :') I think they missed a treat here.
Awesome, after 20 years of not having a mini. You guys dredged up a bucket full of memories, and for everyone that's owned a mini and had thousands of cuts and scratches on fingers, knuckles and wrists, this series made them all worth it. i remember the smile on my face when I fired up my 100 plus hp naturally asp. mini, your look of " this is amazaballs " is exactly what it's all about, great too that miles got to play again. Great choice boys
this entire mini build project has fully inspired me to do my car, I was going to sell my blow 1994 wrx sti jdm, and now I'm half way through it, thank you moog and marty, you guys are an inspiration to us all
Hey Moog! I just bought my first classic Mini from Japan as well. It's like yours and I should have it in about a month or so. Maaaad
Oh and I'm currently restoring an 82 Mini
+Art Vandelay Planning on keeping original. Going to get some 13x7s though
+Art Vandelay Depending on pricing I'll see what happens
Nobody ever said what kind of power this makes so I'm assuming it's 1000hp until I'm told otherwire
It's probably more along the lines of 300 lol 350 max
+Stuntihn MX I'm going to say maybe 200-250hp, because it's a 1.3 liter 3-Cylinder right?
+Tommy Sperlin 1000 Mini-Horse Powers.
+TheIndianDude - (RedLinuxFilms) More like 100/110 maybe 120hp at a push they did no cylinder head work or work to the block or cam work at all just stuck the charger on a stock engine. Even supercharged A series with head work bored out to a 1330cc and with a racier cam only hitting around 150/160 it did seem silly when they went to all this effort that they did not refresh the block or touch the cylinder head which could have got them a lot more power!
+Tommy Sperlin Not more than 100 bhp
this car is truly special and the realisation of a mans dream, i found myself not being able to stop smiling the entire way through. it reminded me of the time i got to drive my dream car(mk1 golf gti) and makes me want to save up and buy one and work on it to make it my own. thank you mcm for bringing the community together and making us realise it doesn't matter what you drive as long as you love it.
this was fantastic to watch, just pure joy. the memories, the hardwork coming together. The huge grin throughout the whole drive. it's what it's all about
I won't lie, that roof lining needs sorting!
But apart from that, awesome video guys!
It had 62HP at the CRANK when it was new, so lets assume that it has lost around 5HP and started with 57HP, it now has about 88HP. (57 x 1.54 to give 154% of standard power)
Being a late model it weighs about 700KG, taking into account the weight of the AC system and the SC system, as well as the lessened weight from the stainless exhaust and the wheels, it probably weighs about 710KG.
That works out as 126 crank HP per tonne, or about the same as a MK2 MX5 1.8.
For you Aussies, 88HP is about 66KW, taking into account parasitic drivetrain losses, that translates to around 56 wheel KW or 80 wheel KW per tonne (WKW/tonne)
You people saying things like "No more than 100KW" and "Somewhere between 100 and 200KW" are totally off your nut. Why not actually do a little research instead of spouting rubbish and confusing everyone?
Hope this helps... :)
Acme well said
Well said, but like what Moog was trying too say it really isn't about power figures.
My 1993 Falcon XG only makes about 150kw at the crank. She's receiving a turbocharger 302 Windsor.
But it's being built only for the driving experience, of course it feels nice too be pushed into your seat when you flatten the throttle but dyno numbers mean nothing if your car truly does put a grin on your face everytime you drive it regardless if other people understand it
Acme what?🤔
My first car was a 1980 Mini special 1100, bought by my dad for me for €800 when I was 16. Since then I've had Toyora Ae111, BMW E30, E46, E39, MX5 Mk1, 1974 Toyota Celica TA22 etc and even a BMW Mini Cooper and none of them even remotely compare to how much fun my old mini is to drive, its got rust holes big enough to fit your hand through the doors and floor and even though it's engine has gone on fire 3 times its never broken down majorly. It sprints around on cut slicks, engine roaring, gearbox screaming and just loves it! I'll never ever part with it, even though i dont get to drive it often. It's here for life.
You know.... my project car (1995 Steeda Mustang #0010) is frankly turning into a pain in the ass. But, after watching how happy you are, driving your SuperMini, it just makes me look forward to finishing it up over our Massachusetts winter. Your joy is TOTALLY infectious! Well done!!
How could you dislike this video?
everyone expecting a supra or a skyline for the next build, and im here like "mercedes 190d anyone?"
+Josip Purgar honestly, seeing something like a Merc would be pretty refreshing. I think we've seen enough JDM cars for now.
Peter Schmidt but we shall not forget the golf street cred build and moogs polo, but yeah, it really needs something different, who knows, maybe the next build will be an euro car, which i got all my hopes for, especially a w201
Josip Purgar eh... that car didn't really count. From my recollection, all non-JDM cars MCM did were just small projects, jokes, or didn't really have much TLC. I don't remember if that VW Beetle they worked on was actually German made or not.
Seeing either European or American cars would be interesting to me.
honestly I would love to see a truck
+Josip Purgar As nice as that would be. It is my understanding that German cars are INSANELY expensive in Australia.
This makes me think of my Father, restoring his 1983 Mini on our driveway. It was his final project before he died and the pure joy driving around in that car brought us has yet to be rivaled. Honestly, we were grinning like Moog in this video! I am gonna start searching for that car and if she's still alive, bring her home, where she belongs.
Man after 7 years of watching you guys, this is one of the greatest videos. You guys have always been the real deal on youtube, and had a really great message in this one. The connections you make in life will help you fulfill your dreams. Awesome.
I am a simple man, I see the notification that MCM has uploaded a video, I watch, I like.
HOW IS MIGHTY CAR MODS NOT AT 20,000,000 MILLION SUBS?!?
man these two cars are manifestations of how far you guys have came. with just an idea and a small channel you guys have came so far. just goes to show you, you can do whatever you want if you put your effort to it.
I definitely have to drive that road at some point in my life. Looks amazing!
I feel like a computer games had a similar beautiful drive, but of course RUclips has better resolution than an early 2000's game.
+Aaron Dizon It's a rough road. Look up the Putty Road near Sydney. Now THAT'S an amazing road.
PIK Even rough. It's beautiful.
+Aaron Dizon It's nothing amazing, it doesn't last long, it's thin and is always filled with traffic.
Mcaars Creek is a good one.
Royal National Park would be the best road in NSW in my opinion.
Look up Great Driving Roads - NSW FB page :)
go to japan do all the real life initial d courses call it a day
Super Gramps, and Mini Drag Race needs to happen!!
The smile on his face is what any project car builder chases. That feeling when everything is perfect.
It is so awesome to see the joy on someone's face after something they love and poured so much effort into come together.
Congratulations!
"Thought you could leave without saying good bye" nice one guys :)
That muffler looks like is going to come off with the first speed bump you go over, it's so close to the ground!
+zdrux jdm stance drift missile low life
+KeatonGillespie #stancenation
+KeatonGillespie but fwd hahahaha. No hate I'm a fwd guy for now too
The muffler provides ground effect for moar grip!
+AngryLemonHD fuck up
when i first thought about this build I didn't think it would work. But after all the work and effort all your friends put into it, this truly proves that anything is possible and that you have some great friends. We met in Las Vegas after SEMA two years ago when you and Marty came to our Flat4LV car show and you both were great guys. I'm really happy that you got your dream car and that it all worked out so well for you.
Congrats on the car man. Not all of us get to complete our dream projects, but videos like this push us to keep trying. To be able to see and hear that much joy coming from someone is pretty special. Enjoy her.
Have they ever thought about building a Datsun 240z? The Austin mini is an amazing car by the way. Excellent build.
They are really expensive and really rare
As an American your driving vids freak me out, you driving on the wrong side of the road and all. Congrats on finishing the Mini, awesome build.
Between your channel showing the enthusiasm for cars, and all the great sailing in Oz I think I need to pay your country a visit. You guys are some of the most genuine car people on RUclips and probably IRL. Great job keep it up!
Just watched this entire series AND just got my "May the BOOST be with you" sticker from the MCM boys! As some others have already said, this video actually got me choked up. I completely understand Moog's passion here. SO well done, boys. MCM is so much better than any other car-related media! Thanks for the joy you bring, and enjoy the MAD Mini!
2:05 I cried:(
+Peadar Donnelly Me too :( why the hate
Why the hate :( love my ep3 tho
+Cpt.Gibbles I think it was more of a joke but I hate being at the end of it.
+Peadar Donnelly yea same. people seem to hate on hondas now cause it's the "cool" thing to do.
+Cpt.Gibbles people hate on Honda cause 95% of any modified Hondas are ricey af.
7:07
"5 minutes into Mini and Chill..."
lmao
haha so stoked for you moog, was smiling the entire time I was watching, love that mini!
Marty and Moog you guys have no idea how much of an inspiration to me you are. You've inspired me to dream again, to work towards having the car of my dreams, the car that I built. It may not be perfect but the memories will be there for a lifetime and everytime I drive that car it will put a smile on my face. Thank you!
Anyone else almost crap themselves every time he went around a turn? Wrong side of the road!?!??!
+asdfjkl Yeah it freaks me out too
+Jo Mary indeed. I know this.
+Jo Mary Wrong. www.todayifoundout.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/driving-on-the-left-1024x650.jpg
EDIT: Nice. Edited your comment like a ninja.
+KrazeeCain I love when people post that stupid comment lol. Hardly anyone drives on the left side of the road. Not that I really care nor is one better than the other.
+Jo Mary wrong. Most people drive on the right side.
YES! New MCM in muh que. Thanks.
+Patrick Ford www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=que
+Vaul the Creator sorry. QUEUE.
Patrick Ford No worries, to be fair the english language is rife with utterly redundant letters ;)
The joy on your face is the joy that a mini gives you! I'm missing mine now QQ
Love it, the saying fits "The best car in the world is the one that makes you feel the best about yourself when you're driving it." My '75 always puts a smile on my dial.
"Thought you could leave without saying goodbye"
How did no one get that reference ?! LMFAO
F&F7
I have to say that you nailed the exhaust! It sounds so good with the supercharger that it is just weird! I have a 1.4 Golf GT (twincharger) and it sounds a bit like your mini but because it is a VW from a factory it is so much quieter =( I think I need and aftermarket exhaust !
+TheCoBBus And because it has a turbo it swallows the sound aswell
Remove your cat convertor, bam
xTerraH That is in my mind, I just want to wait for summer to do that =D
+xTerraH that would probably reduce emissions in a golf
the smile on your face says it all congratulations mate
This was such a joy to watch. I came to your channel to watch the difference between turbo and supercharging and I caught this series on accident. I own a 2005 MINI Cooper S and have fell in love with MINI since that year I bought it. I've had some recent mechanical issues with the car that has given me thoughts of giving up and selling it but I now understand (after watching this series) that I do still find joy in driving my car. Thank you so much for capturing the story and for igniting the love I have back into my car. It was a wonderful series to follow. You have a subscription with me mates. Cheers to all that you do!
A preview of MCM next season
Moog: *wakes up to marty calling him* "ayy whats up m8?
Marty: "hey mate, remember when you crushed my blue turd?"
Moog: "yeah mate, why?"
Marty: "We're about to crush a green one we found laying around, wanna come say goodbye?"
Moog: *checking in the parking way* "No no no Marty!"
Mint
I rarely "like" a vid, and I have watched several thousand. it is even more rare that I comment. you guys just made me feel like I finally knew why we mod cars. my latest was an 87 pathfinder on a 1 ton chevy truck frame with a 383 stroker. your montage just brought the feelings from when I first drove the finished product back and I had to sit and ponder life once again.
this is what csr enthusiasts and builders live for. the love we have for our cars even though they cause headaches and sleepless nights. cheers to all of us who watch this channel and made moogs dream come true.
Fixed everything but the roof lining. Great build though
That moment when Supergramps comes up on your rear view xD
I keep coming back to this video, love the Mini so much!
congrats moog you look like the happiest man alive i didnt see you stop smiling at all during that drive. i hope i can feel that way when i fix up my dream car. videos like these are what helps us dream and gives us the confidence to overcome any obstacle thank you mcm you have personally made my day with this video and because of that i am now a subscriber to MIGHTY CAR MODS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyone else get the Furious 7 reference at 4:48
Lol that f&f 6 reference
7* lol
Great work on a great classic guys. I've watch countless videos of yours & have followed the Mini build from day 1. I've seen the smiles & excitement on your faces when you've finished a build, But the smile & excitement on your face with your Mini Moog is the biggest of them all, and I can see it comes all the way from your boot straps.
Keep the great videos coming guys, And Moog, I'm envious! Enjoy your Mini for what it is & all it is, and may that smile & enjoyment from driving it never end.
Hats off to everybody involved in the mini build, You've out done yourselves.
Aido.
Congratulations on your dream car. It has been an amazing journey watching you all come together to help build this amazing machine. I cant wait for the next one. Thanks for being awesome MCM!
2:50 what's the deal with the condom?
Lol I just noticed that! Maybe they need it for such a sexy car
+Anton Markov it fell out of T005XY
5 minutes into Mini and Chill, that made me laugh
One of the best feelings in the world was painted all over his face. Good job man, I'm happy for you!
I agree with Andrew foster, this was one of those videos that just makes u happy. For a man that has such a passion for mini's to finally get the chance to build his dream car and is wearing a smile for 9:03. just to bring his passion to the world and for us to enjoy this with him. thank you moog and Marty for everything u do for this industry, and everything u do for the world of cars bringing passionate, like-minded people together.
thank u!
why do you guys hate civics so much?
Teens
+ptriq they seemed to get riced more then most, this guy over the fence has a civic with a really loud exhaust and he just leaves the motor running for 45 minutes while he cleans the car, so thats why I hate civics
+420apache657 don't tar us all with the same brush. some of us civic owners give a fuck and don't go out of our way to wind people up or rub them up the right way
+Graham Hearn good point. MCM actually helped me respect Honda as it should be. I had a problem with them because of an ex. Every time I made it faster for her she was mad her MPG was down...well, duh. Upgraded and driving easy, great gas mileage. Otherwise, much worse. Lol
+IZOK please explain.
Uploading @ 00:30 for ur american viewers i c lolz
yes
what is sleep
+Ned Flanders 21:30 ;)
Its 10:39 at night where im at
its 4:43 pm here :D
That grin the whole drive says it all. Truly built your dream car Moog. Heck of a job by you and your amazing team. Drive on mate, drive on!
This video made me smile a whole lot, i love it when people finally Build they're dream car. Kinda almost made me cry to be honest. His mini is one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen.
What's the name of that song that goes "we were young... (etc etc)"??? Maaaaaad! Is it Moog's??
+The Video Guy "we were young" by Moog. Link in description. Cheers!
itunes.apple.com/au/album/chasing-midnight-ep/id981952367
+Mighty Car Mods so an awesome aussie car guy who makes mad music too!?
Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad!
+cakeless coder that's how mcm started
Carlos Z how did I not know this!? man I'm no good at this internet stuff.
Marty and moog met while working with some audio stuff. I think they have a video on it or its on their Web site
WHERES THE JDM DRIFT KEI CAR !!!
So glad to finally see the Super-Mini on the road and so happy for you that it turned out so well. Congratulations!
If your ride doesn't give you smiles per gallon, you bought the wrong car. This video shows the raw emotion that a vehicle can bring to a person.
Props to MCM for another awesome build! Looking forward to the next project!!
Moog is so right about the feels that a Mini just brings out in people. I rarely go anywhere in mine without someone smiling, waving or stopping to ask about it and if its an older person they tell me about the Mini they had back in the day and how they'd love to have one again. You can't beat driving around in a car that has that affect on people.
Amazingly inspiring. I'm getting close to finishing a similar project and I have to agree with everything you said. It's about what car makes you feel the best while you drive it. It's about building it with your friends, not your checkbook. The emotions we feel while driving is the most important thing, especially when we remember and thank those that helped us realize a dream. Thank you MCM for the inspiration. All the best.
I have been watching your videos every week religiously and this one particular video made me shed a tear. You are right no matter what you drives, once it make you happy then that's the car for you. I even went out and bought a 2002 Subaru Legacy GT wagon with twin turbo and I enjoy driving everyday. Thanks you guys for all you have done.
I just recently found Mighty Car Mods. Now I cant seem to get enough of it, and this build, what can you say. Its a Mini. I have always liked the idea of the Mini but here in the states, they are impossible to find. To see what you guys did, has me even more determined to find one. OMG!!! I love it.
Could see on moog's face the joy he got from driving the mini keep the videos coming guys watch them all the time over here in the UK, gives me loads of ideas to do to my Lil car
