Have the first start up video but can't post?
Also front cf spoiler, mustache and new black wavy grill installed!!!

That looks like a fantastic garage you have!

Wish that was my garage!!! That's the mad scientist at MCM, John Mcgee about 3-4 hours south of me. ;).

This is such a wicked looking mini, it sits so low, wish I could get away with that ride height in the UK, the roads here are far from smooth.

Interior pretty much buttoned up! John's been busting his butt to finish her up!

Thank you for the props.
Roads here are pretty good, still need plan what roads to take when I go cruise. Pot hole dodging daily gets old fast. Lol

[minimissions]

haha pot hole dodging is something that should be taught in the UK driving licence the roads here are awful, I would love to run as low as you.

Once she's home I'll be tweaking the ride height, want to see how low I can go without rubbing or bottoming out anywhere. John had it set this height to get up and off the trailer.

Big day tomorrow!!! 3am wake up for the 8-10 hour round trip home!

How does she drive?

[MasterD78]

Looks and sounds fantastic!!

Speedo doesn't work?

Speedo doesn't work?

 

I did not calibrate it yet, you have to do it over 2 miles (GPS based).

 

How does she drive?

 

Car drives great, I was happy to not feel any torque steer with this amount of power. I couldn't stop driving it the last 4 days. Can't wait to get mine done now!

[mini-fvr]

How does she drive?

Been a long few weeks of getting some issues taking care of but now that she's all set an I've put some real miles on her, it is unbelievable!

Pulls really strong though all the gears. The 3.7 FD seams to be a great fit even with the 10" wheels. Drivability is awesome!

Still tracing down some vibration noises and the itb's are loud when in the high rpms but while normal everyday driving, they really aren't that bad.

I'll be making a video soon so stay tuned. Want to shoot some footage before it gets to cold.

Still working on the interior and have a speedo issue I'm in the process of straightening out.

After that, she'll be tore down one final time to get a little body work and new piant!

Big thank you to John McGee at MCM for the countless hours he has in this build.
