1st Mini Clubman
1st Mini Clubman
Hello all,
This is Steve B.
I picked up a 2011 base Clubman about 2 months ago.
The mini only had 32,900 miles on it. That's average of 3k miles a year. Looking at the carfax it shows 3K miles a year.
Having been able to get a really close look once back at the house, the todo list started.
My best guess some kid got a hold of her in the last year.
She had some stickers on the barn doors. A really good compound and wax removed any trace.
It seems it was inside for a while and outside the last few years. Some hail damage, so a trip to the PDR shop is on the schedule.
The tires are 18's with low profiles tires. Found a set of 15's with new tires. Verified the balance, so they will go on this weekend.
With tires, might need new shock. They are 11 years old, but that will depend on the ride.
Yes the tires tore up the wheel liners. So they are on the list.
Rims that look like brand new need lug bolts that are new.
The little red reflector on the right barn door is missing.
The speaker are trashed from being played too high.
I'm going to get an oil catch can installed.
LED light all around.
Might put the British flag on the review mirrors.
It needs a batter tie down.
The Itraguage to keep track of the temp and stuff.
The antenna was just a screw. That was the first thing fixed, Little stub.
The fuel mileage of 35 is a lot better than the 15 the truck gives me.
A lot of work and a lot of fun.
See you on the road!
