Matte black Mini Cooper with scissor doors

We are definitely not kidding, this is a classic Mini Cooper that has a pair of scissor doors just like what the Lamborghini Murciélago has. It looks like a new version of a Transformer car that can anytime transform to a small robot. Besides scissor doors, the car also has some distinguishing feature such as the hydraulic car boot, blue LED lights served as the illumination for the car door when it is opened up at night, rounded roof, and customized rear lights.

Painted in matte black, the car looks hot and cool with MK1 grille and a set of 13-inch deep dish wheels. The owner pick flat glass type signals lights instead of the traditional gentle slope orange signal light. Both the rear windscreens are sealed and we noticed there is a huge sub-woofer fitted in the trunk. It must be an eye-catching car when if it attend any car show. However, we were just wondering where is the chrome bumper for this car? As a Mini lover, how much you will rate this car out of 10 point?

Crazily modified Austin Se7en Van

The Mini MK1 Austin Se7en Van was produced between 1960 and 1961. The original car features a MK1 slatted grille, 10-inch wheels with 4-inch wide tires, an 848-cc engine, and double swinging doors at the back. The wheelbase of the car has been increased but the size engine bay is still the same with other MK1 Mini. However, this man, Roadrunner 45 from Hawthorn Woods, Illionious, has managed to place a LS1 engine into the engine bay of a 1966 Austin Se7en Van. He has created the “World’s quickest mini” project.

Outside, the car looks like an ordinary Austin van with a customized bodykit, 13-inch wheels, and it is painted in chili red. But who knows under the hood there is a crazy monster sitting inside? The 5.7-liter Generation III LS1 engine was rated at 350hp (260kW) and 495 Nm of torque. Some notable cars that use the same V8 engine are the 1997-2004 Chevrolet Corvette C5, Chevrolet Camaro Z28, Pontiac Firebird Trans Am, 2004 Pontiac GTO, and a few more the be named here. Now, it becomes the heart of a 1996 Austin Se7en Mini Van! Can you imagine that? A mere 350hp pushing a car that was built in 1966 and it was sold for £360 when new.

The creator of this car added a customized roll-cage to stiffen the body, redesign the seating positing, pedals, steering rack, and exhaust. Guess what? It has got a hi-cam inside the engine! As you can see from the photos the gearbox almost taken the entire space under the dashboard and there will be no room for air-conditioning, heater, or defrost. The footweels will get extremely hot too!

Rear suspension set up

This monster, world’s quickest Mini project car, world’s most crazily modified classic Mini, or whatever you prefer to call it, is the only one with generation III LS1 engine out there based on our research.

World’s ugliest customize car

Someone, probably a man, has tried to customize this Fiat 126 and it turns out really ugly. It has set a new record as the ugliest customize car in the world. Look at that monster-type bodykits, weird front bumper, rubbish-look-a-like spoiler, creepy car hood and wheels. What the hell he is thinking?

If you want to customize your own car, make sure you have follow the top five steps we mentioned before. Starting from engine and performance parts to chassis and wheels, and then customize the exterior with nice bodykits or airbrush. In order to make the car look cool, a set of nice wheels is a must. Then you have to decorate the interior and cockpit based on your preference. If budget is not a problem, a set of nice stereo systems will be great.
