Hey there everyone! So I finally got worked up enough with my old crap wheels being all bent so I decided to upgrade to something nice finally. In the picture(s) I'm running Rotiform Nue's. They're 17x8 and I'm running 205/40/17 Falken tires. I'm really happy with how it turned out. Soon this spring I'm going to take my side stripes off to clean up the car a little bit more so if doesn't look like a lot is going on with the car. Understand I'm going to more than likely post a couple of these pics but different replies due to my phone not wanting to post more than one pic at a time. Ughhh. Well here yah guys go! Once spring comes around might dump it out a little more!

Here's another one from the side of the car.

 

Was doing a test roll of color film and decided to shoot a pic of my car. Zenit-E (~40 year old Soviet camera) Fujifilm Superia x-tra 400

 

New to this site, here is my R56 ....

 

I_drive_slow - Very nice curved road shot

The bolt - Welcome, thats really cool you did a play on the F56 JCW decals for the rear and door panel.

 

I love film. Probably my favorite to shoot with.

 

Yes..I had to figure out the fuel tank gas cap location so did the following...

 

Very nice like the R113 wheel

Resurrected 2013 MC R56 LCI with 13,000 miles
3rd Mini for m, rebuild in my garage as a hobby, but love the cars.

#1 2002 R50 MC Dark Blue with white top
#2 2007 R56 MCS Gray

All three still on the road, though #1 & 2 have new drivers.

 

Wow! What all did you have to replace/fix? Very good job, btw!

 

Hood, Headlights, radiator and rad support all from a donor M56 as well as
Airbags (passenger) and new dash with airbag from another donor car.
Under the hood, new airbox, heat shield, grille and fuse box bracket.
The front bumper was kind of untouched as well as the engine.
European Autotech in Lincoln, NE reset the airbag lights and it was ready to drive.

All together, have about $8000 into it, but I think that's a steal.

 

Congrats, that's allot or work, you have done well. Anymore body work pics, former paint and body worker.

 

Attached is mostly before pics and some of the progress as I put it back together. You always wish you had taken more pics as you went along. I can replace a dash in about 45 -60 minutes now after doing two of them.

 

Thanks , looks like the main frame tubes were ok ( near the strut towers ), just plastic , front end and the upper U brace. Well done again.


Looks like the engine airbox pushed back a bit and cracked the firewall plastic, engine must have move allot.

My adventure into a new to me MINI is finally finished






My 2007 justa Cooper I built for my wife ... with a swapped motor and engine wire harness, dropped on an Eibach Pro kit with Team Dynamic Monza R 17x7+43 wheels and 205/45r17 BFG Comp T/A tires ...

 

Glad you finally finished it up! Those wheels look so good!

 

Nice looks good with the wheel s in pro kit. Well done. Happy wife.

 

here are some pictures of my R56 JCW Eclipse Grey from France

 

 

Lynxon-


Very nice, like the painted wheel arches and the GP2 wheels


MarkWylenczek -
