Sounds like fun & i know, We had a mini that never fully recovered from going through a 1 to 2 foot flood at the bottom of my road. managed to get it to start but had a massive loss on power & couldn't pass 1st gear & all the electronics were ruined for weeks

Tonight i will be working on the Minis again. I need to find some money soon too because i have found the wheels i need for the Supercharged mini.
