An Unloved R53

This is my 03' R53 six speed. I bought the car at auction, it had been totaled. I'm slowly gathering the bits I need to rebuild the car and after that more mods ! The car currently has an Alta Intake with a silicone boot, Megan Racing exhaust and possibly an aftermarket pulley. She's a bit battered, but I love her haha

We've rebuilt several MINIs over the years so good deal there.

If you need some stuff let us know I have about 10 parts cars right now.

Doesn't look "totalled." It looks like it's drivable, yes? Best of luck and welcome to the club!

I've put 300 miles on it so far since I picked it up from the auction. Just filled the fluids and pumped up the tires
