Dann Tier Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 (edited) This was a slump buster. I took a Tamiya kit of the Morris Mini Cooper and put a Hassagawa Aoshima lift kit on it, turning it into a truck. I also used the Tamiya Renault Alpine dash. There are many scratch built items on this including the GPS and the roll bar. And if this wasn't crazy enough, I added a Jaguar XJ 220 V6! I'm eventually going to scratch build a winch for the front bumper. The idea was to finish it in a week....which I did. Edited November 18, 2015 by Dann Tier fix brand
LouO Posted November 8, 2015 Posted November 8, 2015 Not a big fan of Mini's; but this one gets a thumbs up!
DRIPTROIT 71 Posted November 8, 2015 Posted November 8, 2015 The only Mini that I've ever liked! Great conversion!! Excellent work!!
Dann Tier Posted November 8, 2015 Author Posted November 8, 2015 THANX, GUYS!! I appreciate you checking it out!
Crazy Ed Posted November 9, 2015 Posted November 9, 2015 I've gotta admit that a Mini Cooper is just about the Last Vehicle I expected to see as a "Monster", Well Done!!

426-Hemi Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 (edited) NICE!!!! The tires and rims get me, what those from? (I need a set of Super Swamper 44's.) ERRRR SO. I'm looking at my choices and alternatives! Edited November 17, 2015 by 426-Hemi Spelling
Dann Tier Posted November 17, 2015 Author Posted November 17, 2015 THANX, GUYS!, sorry, I was wrong about where the wheels/tires came from in the description. I have the directions right here, and I got them, as well as the suspension parts from Aoshima kits, NOT HASEGAWA! -John, the kits are:the High Rider US Toyota 4WD Double Cab Truck, and the High Rider Hilux Surf Wide kits. hope this helps!
bismarck Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 That is just too cool!!! I'm a huge mini fan, and that's one direction I never thought of !!! Well Done.
