CHALLENGE CAR NEEDS:

I need a R53 MINI Cooper S 6 speed car. So basically a 2002 to 2006 car?

I need it to have a good transmission and accompanying components for a R50 swap. 

I need it to have a good front suspension and floor. 

I need to pay $1000 or less for it.

CHALLENGE CAR WANTS

I would like it to have decent seats. 

I would like it to have aftermarket wheels that are slightly more negative offset than OE to allow for a little more tire at the strut. 

I would like it to be closer to 49034 than a 4 hour window. 

I would like to pay $800 or less for it devil

Offer 500 on the top one. If they don't want to make a long distance deal I'll go get it or we can send a rollback to snag it

Found a turbo R56 Countryman (outside of my search range because of course) with a bad head gasket and a six speed for $600. I am parting out the R50 and selling everything but the body to use part of the floor and rear suspension.
