It doesn't look totaled in the pics, did it look totaled in person??

It looks like it could be a nice project car, although it would have a salvage title...

Bummer,

That's how I got my Auto Dim Mirror w/ Homelink. Somebody's loss is someone elses gain. This Mini will be a "parts doner" for other people. It will start showing up piece by piece on Ebay.

Definitely could be re-built with a bit of "extra cash". This might have been good for someone that replaced their OEM axles, suspension, wheels and have those lying around. Then you could get a used hood and a bumper cover from the classifieds here!

Yeah, very sorry about that. I am searching the board on how to install a hood scoop. One of my clips broke and it is not sitting flush
