Rich Rebuilds: Turbo Mini Cooper Overhaul and Book Release

In this thrilling episode of Rich Rebuilds, we witness the unveiling of Rich's upcoming book, a tale of automotive adventure and resilience. As the team delves into the turbo Mini Cooper project, they spare no detail in revamping its suspension and fitting it with a turbocharged engine. A saga unfolds as they confront sludge-ridden engines, low compression woes, and the need for meticulous part marking during disassembly for a successful reassembly.

With a keen eye for detail, the team uncovers missing washers in the car, shedding light on shoddy craftsmanship that adds a touch of drama to their already intense project. Venturing into John's new workshop, they embark on a journey to transform the Mini Cooper's interior, selecting materials that reflect both style and functionality. Meanwhile, the suspension receives a robust upgrade, showcasing the team's commitment to enhancing performance while preserving the Mini Cooper's unique hydroelastic suspension system.

As the engine build reaches its crescendo, viewers are treated to a symphony of upgrades, including a turbo kit, ignition enhancements, and a top-of-the-line cooling system. The meticulous attention to detail culminates in a fully-rebuilt engine that promises to deliver an exhilarating driving experience. With a price tag ranging from $15,000 to $18,000 for the engine and parts alone, the team's dedication to excellence shines through in every aspect of this automotive masterpiece.
