Some guys are running golf cart tires. Lots of Mini parts houses around. You can buy pretty much anything you want for it.

How heavy are they? I wouldn't have thought there would be enough power in these little guys to win monte carlo in the 60s

Power doesn't matter so much, it's power to weight ratio. For example you take a 300 horsepower Suburban vs. a 150 horsepower Volkswagen hatchback and the VW will blow the Suburban's doors off. Why? Because the Suburban weighs around 5,000 pounds giving it a 0.06:1 power to weight ratio. The VW on the other hand weighs 2000 pounds giving it a 0.075:1 power to weight ratio.

According to Wikipedia the curb weight of the early mini cooper was only 1,360 lbs. So with any power at all that thing will haul but.

A work in progress! Under construction (always)! 1948 Chevy Sedan Delivery. Will be a great bike hauler!

Thanks Gdcast & SCHWINNRAY69 for the comps! I have a 350 motor & the trans, just need a few more parts to get it on the road. Not much of an interior though (Who needs one!) All I need is 2 seats. I guess if I didn't spend all my $$ on bikes, it'd be done by now! Thanks for lookin!
