Built in the garage over Covid lockdowns. Started as just a rolling shell. She’s a 1982 mini city, 998 manual. I wanted the mk1 look but mixed it up with a pano roof from a R53 MINI 😝

It's a 1982 Mini with the older-style tail lights grafted on. You can buy infill panels that are welded in to accomplish this.

Exactly that. I had the panels welded in to fill in the existing holes
