The Captain's new project vehicle

[Cpt. Mcgillicutty]

Well guys here she is, a 2002 Mini Cooper S
Here's the deal, my neighbor who's a mechanic had this car brought to him by a man who's daughter ran it into the ground. The timing chain broke and bent the valves. He decided it wasn't worth repairing for the costs involved. We are doing a complete rebuild since the car is completely opened up. I will post progress as I make it. So far this is what she looks like.
The engine is supercharged, leather interior, six speed manual. I'm paying $3500 for it. My neighbor has or will have all parts needed for the full repair. Dropped him the down payment today.
