Project R53

Rebuilding a Mini? Building a rally car? Making a Z Car from the Ground Up? Well, create a thread here, and keep us updated. It's a great way to track your own progress as you go along, and keep yourself sane! If you own a car, you can show it off here too.

Thanks reds & midas. Still get days where I wonder about selling it, but it was a hell of a lot of fun to build it.

Just read that the JCW steering wheel and the leather dash I have in my car are almost out of stock worldwide, and there's no plans to produce them again. Feck. They were some of the nicest upgrades anyone could make to a MINI. Apparently Aero Kits are becoming scarce too.
