Mini Car Parts What car to restore out of these three?
Hi,
I'm fourteen years old, and my dad agreed to help me restore a car to drive as my first. I have about $5000 to spend on this project, which needs to include the car and parts. I need help deciding what kind of car to restore. I am considering a 65 mustang ($1500) a '89 BMW 325i ($1200) or a mini mayfair from the eighties. The only reason I am considering the mini is because it will probably be the least expensive to restore. What are your thoughts? Could I even accomplish this?
the mustang runs, and just needs bodywork. I have yet to find a mini. The bmw would just be minor work, some surface rust repair, new coat of paint, engine tuning
I was planning on spreading the project out over the next 2- 2 1/2 years
The stang
The Mustang.
It will be MUCH cheaper and easier to restore than the other two. Every single part can be purchased new for the Mustang, it is one of the simplest cars ever built, it will run forever and will actually be worth something when you're done. The BMW is a horrible choice -- each replacement part will cost ten times that of the Ford and you will spend thousands of dollars and thousands of hours dealing with the finicky German. When you're done, you will have more invested in maintenance than it's worth.

Used Mini Cars
The first Mini car was built back in the late 50's in England. At that time there was a fuel rationing that started in England, due to that it was a great momentum for building a unique and one of a kind car that later become an iconic car in British.
The mini car was manufactured from 1959 up until as lately as the 2000s since the British Motor Cars (BMC) stopped the production. In 2001, the manufacture of mini was consequently sold to BMW Company. Then the production was once more resumed under the new brand name that is the BMW mini.
Over the years the cars buyers appear to be more selective in choosing the car, they had developed their taste for reasonable priced car but still with a competitive design. This is one of the reasons why they consider buying a used mini car as their appropriate choice.
What makes the used mini different from other small vehicles like the Volkswagen Beetles? The used mini, while being small, has a roomier cabin inside of the car. The used mini has accomplished the sideways engine positioning and the extending out the wheelbase to the edge of cars. Though the used mini has a small dimension, but its room was spacious enough to carry passengers and their baggage.
Another reason why the cars buyers choose the used mini car is the efficiency of fuel consumption and a good gas mileage too. In addition, for over the years the adaptations and changes of the used mini design make its model looks sportier than ever. It makes people pay their attention to this car that has gain popularity in all over the world.
The used mini is surprisingly powerful and the driver will be satisfied by the solid handling and the delightful grunt of engine. A long distance trek in the used mini is something that everybody should experience at least once, since you will not get the dreaded posterior fatigue even if you are in the driving seat.
Buying a used mini is the best way to save your money. The used mini may also become a favorite choice since it can carry four passengers around in comfort and style, while providing tremendous fuel efficiency and it also sells for a reasonable price. It is available with a variety of specifications and collection of attractive and cool colors, the used mini is an icon in its own right.
