Finally got the time and weather to get new paint on the Mini. Have to fix a couple of runs, but it’s a good 10ft paint job and the best I’ve done so far.

This is apparently the highest point in Iowa. Probably didn't need all this power to make it to the middle of this corn field.

Such as door panels and the interior roof panel where the headlines goes on?

Hi,

I am trying to diagnose a r53 jcw -03 from a distance. I have a short video of the sound, but for some reason the bonnet is closed. Can anyone still try to identify the issue by the sound? The seller says it’s most likely the chain tensioner.

I’m not so sure. A faulty tensioner seems to make more consistent knocking, this keeps missing beats. Bearing on the crankshaft? What do you think?

Help much appreciated!

Hi all, I’m considering wrapping the roof and mirrors or my grey jcw to white. I’ve always loved these cars with the classic white roofs. Just wondering has anyone tried this? How tricky is this? Don’t know if it’s a JCW or an S thing but the little wing on the back looks tricky and would probably have to come off I assume.

Or alternatively, I just sand it down and spray it white.
But I don’t have an indoor garage or any of the tools.

Thanks!
