Hey all!
Newbie here! Just bought a 2013 Countryman S ALL4 that had a blown engine, and am in the middle of the swap out. I am not a car genius, nor am I a good mechanic, but for some reason I thought this would be a fun first project!
Working on the car up with my dad and son in Spokane, WA - but once completed will be driving it down to Phoenix where I live. Good times, much bonding and some small amount of cursing.

 

Good luck and welcome here!

That is a nice way of bonding. Usually I am the garage with me myself and I :P

 

Welcome to the family. Got yourself a load of fun, just got to get her put back together.

 

i think you picked the right ride. When the N18 is running right it is a lot of fun.

 

So far:

Day 2 (plus some under-carriage stuff that cannot be seen)

Day 1 (pulled off the front, wheels, hood)
