The lateral arms are from Helix 13 so they have stepped up and gave me a good disscount on new arms.....Even David Richards of Prodrive wishes us well! But he mention that the suspension needs to be changed..LOL

 

Thanks again to all who have helped so far. I've pretty much got all the parts to get the RS rear back the way it was. Helix 13 helped the lateral arms, Emini parts are working hard to cover all those little dealer only stuff. Mini of Costa Rica are handling the windows and big stuff and the CR rally folks are looking for the rest of things we need. We got some paint donated and the body work guy is doing his best to fix the body. If all goes well everything should come together the week I'm back in CR.

 

Finally I got into photo bucket! See the projects section for an up date. This is a happy me receiving parts from Eminiparts.

 

I have to say again thanks for the help and donations which have helped move the rebuild along much quicker then I could have ever expected! without your help I would not have had all the parts to take the next visit and would most likely not have the Mini finished by the 23rd. There is going to be a good chance the Mini won't be ready as we don't have a roof and the glass is on order from Germany but never say never...

All is not lost as there has been some clashes with the last rally date and NACAM rally which means the last rally we did would be the final points rally securing our 2nd place in the championship! That said this was our debut year so I'm pretty chuffed that out the box the Mini was winning all the rallies entered.

With the pressure off slightly I'm still pushing for the 23rd as I'm worried about the Mini stripped down in the shop, the owner is a good chap but stuff does have a chance to go walkies in CR.

So thanks again, your names will be on the Mini. I just ordered the cherckered decals and Union Jack for the roof so the Mini will be the same.

 

also suggested is donations to my paypal account. for every donation big or small your name will go on the Mini in the checker squares PM for the account thanks again

 

I just saw that Nathan! Wow! Thanks. Don't forget to send at least 4 MA stickers for the Mini. 2 for the front and 2 for the rear. Prodrive just sent their's! Flight got canceled so a 2:15Am kick off tomorrow to break the Mini out of the body shop jail.

 

savvy, dave.o,MCS02,vetsvette,quikmni,stefanie,B.A.D,Mr Jim,Crashton, Nathan the Admin,jen lane should look fun on the Mini

 

Thanks Chuck, any money will be used to buy parts. here's my paypal account info. [email protected] if we got a 100 folks with a $1 that would buy a rear caliper on Ebay. thanks again for your support

 

Thanks everyone! I'm so emotional about the response. This experience is heart warming and fills me with joy that the world is not a bad place. Like I said, everyone will have their name on the Mini in the white squares as we want you all with us on the stages.

 

hahah imagine that! no rear glass would be ok but no roof might be an issue. Anyway without rally suspension the Mini will be driven with a lot of caution. The rally on the 23rd is a super special with no jumps so we should be fine.

 

I went to Mini of Bedford yesterday to pick up a bag of goodies thanks to Steven, the best Mini parts bloke there is! I took a few photos which I'll post soon. Thanks again to everyone. I have www.eminiparts.com decals ready to be put on the Mini once I get back down there.
