Hello from sunny Savannah

Hi everyone. I've been reading this forum for years and it has helped me solve so many Mini quandaries. Thanks so much for all the great threads!
I have a 2006 Mini Cooper r52 that is chopped into a roadster.

Wow congrats, never saw a MINI like that except for alpine show car. Which I think you got your idea. Well done.

Welcome from Atlanta. That is really interesting, we talked about building one back in 06, but it never happened. Happy to see someone else taking on that kind of project.

Thanks! I've never seen that other chopped Mini, but I like that windshield.

My car is completely gutted, A/C delete, power steering delete, wipers deleted, 17% SC pulley, lightened crank pulley, one ball exhaust. The back of the car is stripped to sheet metal. It has 85k miles and I have owned it for 5 years. I am about to put some Megan headers on it a new alternator and 380cc injectors.
Still need to do a lot of work.
