This project is to make a one-off all black Morris Mini Cooper restomod.
I wanted to keep it classic stock look exterior but with some hardcore rally car parts added.
The interior is pretty much stock tan leather interior as well but with some rally car goodies like extra guages and switches,
color matched roll bar.
The seats were very plain looking so I added some pipings, seat adjustable levers and seat belt details on the seat.
This Tamiya Mini kit has detachable roof panel and I left it unglued so the interior can be displayed with the roof open.
The suspension was lowered to give agressive restomod stance.
I have a Instagram account where I post building processes so come check it out please.
