This has been a dream car oh mine since I was 7 years old and saw my first one. My problem is that I’m not able to drive a manual transmission due to a spinal cord injury. But with a Honda engine an automatic Honda transmission would be a great option.
@@custombuildsonly3909 is your shop in the USA? Thanks for well wishes. Sadly it’s been 21 years (had the accident on a mountain bike. Not even a dirt bike or motorcycles just a stupid bike cycle at age 15. ) I do have a 1986 Buick Grand National that’s fun and they are automatics from the factory. But I’ll still have my eyes out for the Japanese style old school mini cooped. I think that not even a turbo just NA Honda engine with an automatic transmission in a Mini Cooper would have planty of power. I’m debating on getting one mini and doing the Honda and transmission swap or finding one that has already had the engine swap kit down and switch out the manual transmission for the automatic transmission.
@@Handles_are_good_for_holding that's sad to hear 😔. No I'm located in Malta if you know where it is😅. Aaa that's lovely, it's my dream to own an American car, especially as I'm a huge fan of Roadkill . In America there is a company that makes classic mini with honda engine conversions, it's called Gildred Racing.
