Jesse's Mini Rebuild
March 16th, 2009
My First Hot Rod
I am the fourth proud owner of this vehicle since it was restored and imported from Italy around 10 years ago. It has maintained its beauty ever since.
I came across this mini when I went over Nate’s house, a fellow employee, for a BBQ. For Nate, it was all about cars, lots of cars, and this Mini was a small part of the collection. Nate offered to sell it to me under one condition; get a new motor in it and get it back on the road.
3 months later, after the help from master mechanic friends Dustin and Paul, and Mini Mania, I fulfilled Nate’s wishes, and made myself one happy driver and owner.
