Here at MADNESS Autoworks, we love creating unique projects with unique cars. We are building a performance based Morris Mini Woody Wagon here at our shop, designed to be a car to take out on Auto X and other light tracks days to have lots of fun in! Still a work in progress, we are unavailing our hard work and dedication at the 2014 SEMA Show in Las Vegas as a Turbo By Garrett (by Honeywell) Feature Vehicle as well as the Los Angeles International Auto Show.

The heart and soul of the Woody Wagon; Honda B16 motor Turbocharged with a Turbo By Garrett GTX3067R. Looking to push out close to 500 HP!

Big thank you to Turbo By Garrett for supporting our project with an agressive GTX-R Turbocharger!

After getting sanded down by hand and bathed in acid, we are set for paint after some other components come together. 

 

Please feel free to comment and ask questions, we welcome all feedback! 

Stay tuned for more updates as we get closer and closer to completing a unique blend of performance and Classic Mini!

This is going to be completely insane. One question, what size wheels will it be running?

Look's like a great project. Is it going to be pretty much all standard on the exterior minus the wheels of course ;D ?
