    Starting My Mini Up

Hello,

After I reached 40, I finally found one for me: a German Mini Cooper 1.3 MPI from 1997. Have wanted one for over 20 years now.

 

Runs and drives, it's a bit low. It is going to need some TLC, it has been sitting for a few years from previous owner.

Will be starting with all fluids and filters. And the suspension looks like it is original; the cones are almost flat, so they will be the first thing.

Hoping to find all the tips and tricks here to bring it back.

 

P.S. Do you know this signature inside the glovebox? I don“t.

Nice find.
The signature looks like legendary Mini and rally ace Rauno Aaltonen.
