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 
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.
