NMNA rusty 72 mini with no title still seems like a decent deal at $500 for parts?

Based upon the bonkers money thses seem to be going for,  that's cheap! There are plenty of rust repair panels for them now,  too

There's nothing left of this one to salvage......

Tube frame with a mid engine turbo 07k?  You said to dream right?

Honestly... I want those wheels, steering wheel, seats...

Probably not for $500 but I'd be tempted if it was anywhere near me and those parts are goodish.

Already weight reduced for the Challenge!

 

Someone will throw 50 gallons of bondo at it and claim its 'restored'

From what I remember, Minissan wasn't in much better shape than this when Guido started.

Yeah, mine isn't a whole lot better, but then I wouldn't cut up a good car to make a hot rod, hence my rusty SPi shell will become my hot rod.......rather than a good Mk1

Those wheels are Revolutions. A set is definitely worth more than $500.

If it is in fact a real Cooper, then what you see is a bargain. All I see is a serial number donor if in fact it is a "Cooper".

 

Did the Cooper not have fuel tanks and fillers on both sides of the car?
