New Mini Project Vehicle!! It needed a lot of work...

That speedo looks like something that belongs around Flavor Flavs neck!! Dropping seats is a common problem with my Corvair too.

Haha yes it does 😂

Unfortunately I have a lot of experience fixing Minis. Feel free to reach out if needed.

[@RinerAutomotive]

Didn't know that. Thanks. Any thoughts on the transmission hard 1-2 shift once oil is warm? Shifts fine when cold.

@@RinerAutomotive I’d start with a fluid change and check what the fluid coming out looks like before anything else. I always put whatever the correct-spec Redline fluid in them without issue.

[@RinerAutomotive]

That's where I'm starting. Fluid was just delivered today.

I’m no stranger to German cars, but even I won’t touch a Mini. It’s a shame they have the reliability they do because the original R53 Cooper S is so much fun to drive

I'm more of a VW person. they all have their own nuisances as I'm sure you know.
