That car looks barely hit. You probably got a pretty good deal.

Not sure if 13k is a good deal... sometimes when your bidding at the auction live its like casino, you need to stop on time especially when someone else is as stupid as you are and both of you are budding heads via internet.......

Hope to have this project finished up quickly , Will do some PDR on the quarter see how that turns out in a day or so and sell it to someone who wants a GP ) To most guys out there if you wreck your Gp ask the insurance to do a buy back as it will cost you 4 times cheaper to buy it back part it out/sell it than it will later on sell at the auction )))

Almost done, waiting on the Rim to come in from the dealer.
The Pdr saves us in so many cases, for years we would have to body fill/prep/repaint panels, but now few hours and most panels are savable and no need to repaint. In this case the pdr is not perfect but it will do.

NIce work...I was eyeballing it at the auction and knew it was going to hit high...I also, didnt see the GP no. on the roof though the auction pictures and didnt think it was authentic. this one is definitely out of my budget and wish you luck with it

I'm just saving for a JCW R60 or R61, although for some reason they never come fully loaded!!!!

Nice job and nice shop! I am glad there are people out there with the skills to keep these Mini's alive!
I do think you paid a lot for it, but because it is a GP, it will go for a good sum of money. I just hope the title is not salvage!
Again, Great job!

Beautiful work!

Yes, it is nice to see MINIs, especially unique ones like a GP, put back on the road.

Hope you do well on the resale.
