Unfortunately back on October 21, 2013 I was on a short roadtrip to Greenville, SC to pick up a 3g steering wheel with a buddy of mine and I t-boned a Mini Cooper...

Let the build begin!
I picked up another shell for cheap, and for me it was easier to swap the newer motor into the shell with the least damage. No point in fixing my old girl :/

Now time to pull the good motor out of my car and get it ready to drop in the new car! This is the motor I swapped in when I broke the timing belt a year and a half ago.
