So I've taken up a project for the winter and possibly for the spring too, wanted to rebuild a car with my kid at home at never had the opportunity. Now he's 11 and feels the right time to get him involved.
Lately I've been looking at mini coopers and decided to bite the bullet and give it a go, I've been on hunt for a good quality car which has nice interior and body but with a faulty engine/gearbox.
Managed to find a real clean car on ebay which had a misfire and oil leak as the description. I've been reading quite a lot on these cars lately and there are few known issues with these engines so I know it's within my ability.
Got it transported as the car is not drivable It's a 13 year old car and I got it for pretty cheap due to the fault, if I can get this fixed I can end up with a decent car for very cheap money.
I'm planning to keep a record of each day of my work done in this car here, as a way of keeping track of the project.
If you have questions please feel free to ask
