Soooo... how much did it cost, including the car?

 

Looks good.

I'm new to the board, so I wasn't aware of your project. But, WOW - you are my hero!

Great job! And your web site is very nice, a great service to the MINI community!

I saw your running total of costs (about $1760 as I recall) but no mention of what you paid for the car in the first place. Would you mind sharing that with us, too?

But it's totally cool if you don't want to - no pressure. Just curious!

Awesome job. As someone else suggested, I'll echo the advice to keep being patient. You are going to have one very special MINI when it's done!

 

glad to see your car is coming along... I was starting to wonder what had happened.

 

Any update on the Crispy Mini?

Yeah, I've been wondering about that myself. The last update on the website has it, "ready to start." I hope that nothing major popped up at the last minute. He was doing a great job!

 

bump!

Inquiring minds, Jon, inquiring minds!

 

way to go....an engine fire is not a pretty thing to try & bring a car back from.

very nice work!

Maybe he's too busy driving it?

 

Congratulations on the start up Jon! I started following your Crispy MINI saga on MINIUSA's OL, and now I'm glad to see you here on NAM so I can keep following your saga! You'll be motoring soon!!

 

I really enjoyed following along with this too in the past, but it's been a year since there was an update. He was so close though! So I hope it has been finished sucessfully.

 

It has been great to see the rebuild. Congrats on the startup!

 

ITS ALIVE! ITS ALIVE!

Awesome man, I am in awe.

Seriously, open your own garage dude.

 

It's alive? Seriously? That's great!

What's the scoop? When did he fire it up? What's he up to now?

 

is there any way you could get a sound recording of the engine running with an open header?

I love projects where I get to take the exhaust off. I can never resist firing pretty much anything up when the cats and mufflers are... distracted...

Anyway... now for the really fun part: body work.
