The Mini plan
If I can still remember
6/29/20251 min read


I ran across an old YouTube video that I watched, which was responsible for my new Mini project. Since my MINI already has all-wheel drive, the only issues with it becoming practical were the ground clearance, which is why I installed a 2-inch lift kit as part of a kit.
These Mini standard transmissions are bulletproof, and the engines routinely turn over 200,000 miles. I rebuilt the engine with only 60,000 original miles, and when complete, it should last the rest of my life. How long will it last now? God only knows.
I spent two years saving and shopping sales to accomplish this on a fixed income; now it has been so long that I hope I can remember where everything goes. Is the $1,000 worth of paint, primer, and clear coat after being opened for two years still good? I don’t know, and obviously, no one in McAdoo gives a shit.
