Not really a Mini, but there's no category for an Austin sedan.
My car is a 1946 Austin 4 dr. sedan. All stock right now, but not for long!

Original 4 cyl. flathead, with 4 spd., soon to change. Just installed the narrowed 10 bolt.

Wheels/Tires Modifications:
Wheels are original, now the rears changed to 8.5x15" ET slots, with MT Sportsman 29x11.5x15 out back. Fronts are 3.5x15 Ansen slots, with 165x75x15 tires.

All new black naugahyde interior (owner built). Old Harwood racing buckets, with 4 pt. harnesses, 4 pt. rollbar. Equus gauges, and Autometer tach.
