Well, I am VERY new to the whole mini scene. I've been eyeing them for a while but really never researched them. For the last couple of days I've been really feeling the MKI Traveler, or the 68 or 69 mini van. I haven't decided which body style I want to go with. I work at a body shop and have plans to really hook one up, but I want to get the best looking body (to me of course), so I'm still researching that. Is there a site that I can see every single model ever made so I can compare them and finally pick one? Also, I'm mechanically inclined to a certain point, but do not even want to contemplate building one from the ground up. So here is my plan, to find someone or a company that will get me the model of my choice and leave everything body wise, exterior and interior wise wheel choice wise alone and up to me, and do all my mechanical engineering and performance, suspension, etc. So basically, I want a beast with a bummy shell and interior! I considered with the small engine bay going with a Hayabusa engine and turboing it because I ride with some cats that have turbo busa's and low and behold I find out that it's normal practice here! I'm VERY excited about that info. Sorry for rambling, just wanted everyone to know where I stand so the help can start coming. Thanks in advance and glad to be here!

Actually, I've been browsing through the projects section and I have changed my mind. I defintely want a mini van. Just dont know what years look like what. Is there a website or a thread on here that has pics of all the mini vans ever made? Also, I defintely want to import mine because I want a RHD version.
