Welcome to NAM, and congrats on your MINI! A chili red JCW is a nice find. I gotta say, I love your garage, both the flooring and...is that an F-Type I spy too?

Welcome,

Nice flooring, I am looking at race decks and swisstrax right now for my garage.

That's a nice combo of the F type and the rare interior color combo R53, they did not get those colorful interiors till 2005+. Wow you have the piano black dash/ nav, JCW steering wheel, webspokes ( i had those on my R56) and the cloth centers with leather outside edges, someone spent some money back in the day.

So awesome to see the collection and well done on both Cars and the garage!

Yea , i could see the BBK , cold not tell if they were willwoods or not. Yea, gotta run spacers with those bad boys on webspokes.

I would say they put money into it. Nice find. I try to find JCWs like that every day and they usually want money for them or they are not completely loaded.

Make me an offer! Ha!

I think I got a good deal, maybe not a steal, but as you mentioned, this type compo is pretty rare I gather. Plus te previous owner add everything you noted about a yr ago, plus new tires this past Aug and new water pump

However, my enthusiasm diminished a bit following the PPI findings
Thermostat
Control Arm bushings
Strut

I just need to find a fair price indy shop to do the work. Dealer wanted $1900, and an "indy" shop near my home wanted $1500 (i think the indy shop is sleeping with the dealer).
