Hi, Im new at nam. Seems that the other sites are ghost towns. I own a 04 cooper s that I bought recently and im basically rebuilding it from the ground up.

 

Welcome to the club. I would like to see pics and progress of your rebuild. Good luck.

 

Thanx man, I will hopefully get some pics soon. Ran into a oil leak problem again today so It may be a bit before I do.

 

If you ever need advice or information this is the place to find it.

 

There are other mini forums?

 

Welcome to the forum and good luck on your rebuild.

 

Welcome. Can you tell us about your car as it is now? What you plan on doing and why? Cheers.

 

Thank you. I bought the car used at 95k on it and realized by the second day that the car was abused. the previous owner did absolutely nothing to keep it running properly. So I have replaced the power steering pump/hoses, expansion tank, battery, valve cover gasket, oil pan gasket, all brake rotors and pads. Man, much more and tons of cleaning along the way. On the other hand, I have added a intake, msd ignition coil, Barvarian cold plugs (i think), wires, bottom rear motor mount insert, Apex lowering springs. The Mini is a Chili red S with the sun roof and 6 speed. I have managed to get rid of most of the chrome and am going with the black and red look. I replaced the front grills with the black JCW look-a-like grills, front headlights with a black housing set and tails with black and leds. The car had a set of 18" black JCW rims when I bought it so that also was a plus. I plan on a header, cat-back exhaust and either a 15% pulley upgrade or 17%. I will hopefully get some pics soon. Beyond that I love the car. It goes no matter what and gets looks everywhere I go.

 

Welcome tiny s! Yes pictures are in order of the rebuild!
