Jeff's new beater project, pt. 3

Lol, doing those bushings suck, but it's probably the worst thing you'll have to do on the car (besides the ball joints because it's the same process). So it can only go up from here!

Did a POV video and review today...

A few of you may hate b/c of my comparison to the Fiesta ST....but I'm keeping the Fiesta and selling the Mini so there's that. Enjoy!

Motor Trend did a long term review and they liked it a lot. https://www.motortrend.com/cars/mini/cooper/2003/2003-mini-cooper-s-2-2/

This car has low miles for its age. That's a plus. The engine is probably fine.

With these types of cars, it's the little things that cost more than you'd expect. Jeff will certainly be joining a forum and getting the inside scoop.

Just like here. BLEND DOOR ACTUATOR!!!

Idk I always view low mileage as an issue on older cars. Engines like to run, when all those moving parts sit and your fluids don’t circulate, you run into issues. I absolutely will take a higher mileage motor that’s been maintained over a lower mileage motor that’s also been maintained, but that’s just me.

Get a MK4 golf/jetta or a beetle and Ute it with a Smyth kit
