Dear Mini fans,
Now its going into 3rd week of Mac, almost 2 months after Chinese New Year. How are you being doing, I hope everything is fine and the economy downturn did not affect you.
Even though I have posted 3 times on my blog, in fact I have just launched this blog to the public. How? Well, I have posted the Automad.alx at the rear of my mini cooper S7 bumper and also display it in a few recent mini cooper outing in Amcorp Mall, Kompleks Belia, Shah Alam & Sukan and Titiwangsa classic car exhibition.
Also, back in December, this mini also participated in the Extreme Motorshow in Bukit Jalil. I shall share with you some photos in the later part of my posting.
As of now, let me continue the journey of my restoration of this mini cooper.
From the P3, I mentioned that the Mini actually done the first street run, a first outing to the public after the restoration of the engine. Here are some angle of interesting photo shoot;
Even though there is still not much to view for the external body shell aside then many rust and aged body paint, it manage to attract many to come forward as soon as I open the engine compartment. Some even take picture on it. Wonderful experience!!
The mini was later drove back to my resident in Shah Alam where it was getting ready for body restoration. Yes, at this point I have decided to do the below two approach;
1) Get a mini specialist to restore the body to its original condition according to the BMC specification- I chosen Mini Specialist (Mr. Rosli) in Subang Industrial Park as my restoration master for this. Mini Specialist is a well known workshop for restoring all model of Mini for many years. They help many Mini lovers to restore, maintain, repair, buy and sell theirs Mini.
2) After that, send the mini to somebody that is good in body modification to the specification that I want and must be in metal instead of fiberglass. I have selected SPSS Motorsport, Subang Industrial Park to do this part of essential work for me. Mike, the owner apparently can understand my concept of the design well and have the same wave length in modification as me. I have shown him my own design and to gather some essential input on the practical work needed as.
As the only metal based body mod workshop around, here are some of the amazing work SPSS Motorsport have done.....
