First Mini R53
Picked up a R53 trading some work on a E30. Found it needs some engine work and some electrical issues fixed but an over all decent car. Going to do a lot of upgrades then going to put a custom tune on it at the shop(Forza Tuning).

Looks like a mean R53... Great in black. Like the hood scoop. More pictures as you get it repaired and tuned. Stick a location in so we can know where you drive!! Welcome to the Mini forum!
