I bought my first R56 in very early January and have spent no less than 4 weekends at junk yards pulling parts to fix all the random broken crap in this neglected nugget. Probably one of my favourite ways to spend a Saturday morning though. Walk around, drink a coffee, find neat stuff. Good times.
@@brentpadgett7178 There are also actually a few other yards around KC maybe 20 and 30 minutes from me too, there’s usually about 5-10 MINIs in the local yards
It’s been a hot minute since I’ve been to a junk yard. That was fun going on a virtual tour with you!
You can come along sometime if you would enjoy it

Indeed, junk yard days are best days. It’s also really nice when there aren’t a lot of people and it feels like your own private lot.
Nice one
Thanks 🤙🏻
That red 53 is so clean! too bad it ended up like that
Indeed, you hate to see it
I go to pick a part once a month and the past 3 times I have scored good clean and nearly new part for my R53 crazy
We have a yard just 5 minutes from our shop and it’s great to find stuff like that.

I would really like a video of swapping the roof panel. Im in the same position with my r53 track car.
There will absolutely be one when it happens, don’t you worry 🤙🏻
Can’t wait to see the slick top swap. Is that your Discovery?
It may or may not be the topic of my next video 👀
Standing by lol. I picked one up last year and will feature it at some point on my channel (MINIstryofSpeed)
By saying first and second gen you mean second and third gen - right ? Right ! 😎
I suppose if you consider the classic the first gen, yes 😎
