    Welcome.

    Check out the vendors who are regulars on this forum. Detroit Tuned, Helix, RMW for mods and eMINIparts.com for your service/maintenance parts. Also, buy a Bentley manual for your MINI (must have).

    Thanks All for the warm welcome. I have defiantly been spending money on parts, just waiting till I have them all before I start working on it. No sense in tearing things apart multiable times, unless of course something breaks.

    I can't wait to get it out on the scenic highways and back roads we have around here.
    The drive from Medford OR was pretty great.

    Thanks everyone. I have wanted a MINI since they came out with this version so 2002.
    I was able to finally get one in the color scheme I wanted and stock. I prefer to build it myself then buy someone else's forgotten/neglected project.

    I just got it registered today, and starting this year you can get a black license plate for you car in the State of Montana.

    I am becoming very familiar with the outmotoring.com website.

    The garage is starting to fill up with parts. I will take a picture in a day or two.

    I sure hope I can make it till the winter before I start working on it.
