The Mad House Minis Projects are cars - usually customer owned - that are here for an extensive amount of restoration work, custom work, or in some way have a unique thing done to them. The intent of this page it to show the kind of work we can do, and our commitment to quality.
We are currently looking for someone interested in doing a v-tec swap into a Mini. Contact us if you are interested.

Description: We are doing a complete repaint and color change just
like on the Portuguese Moke.. this is a Australian Moke and has larger 13"
wheels. It has lots of detail differences. It is sort of a half step from
the English Moke we have done in the past to the more modern Portuguese
version.
