Been searching for a Mini mechanic special and came across one that the owner is glad to get rid of. Located one in Salem, Al that has a rod knock according to the non BMW shop close to their home. Really, maybe - maybe not. It's a 2007 with 6sp auto, bunch of black plasti dip on the wheels and other chromed areas, 104,000 on the clock, body and interior in good shape. We're supposed to seal the deal first of June.

I allow our students to work on portions of my project cars as the material we teach allows. That way it has a "real feel" for them as compared to working on the trainers. Here, this is the real deal, screw this up and I'm walkin & you're flunkin....
Whatever it needs they get to work on, as long as I can tote it in.

But that isn't the mistake, this is:





Hmm.....should I make some mods????
