Mini Cooper S7- Restoration (P5)


Thanks for joining me in my blog, a blog I created to bring you my story about my Mini Cooper S7 restoration. This is definitely the right time to do it as many of you would known, 2009 is the 50's year anniversary of the world's smallest and most popular cars since 1960's.

I hope my blog will continue to entertain you while feeding your euthusias in car mods.

As of March, my restoration story ended at introducing SPSS motorsport as the workshop that will take over the modification of my Mini based on the design I forwarded to them.

The mini bodywork mods was not done immediately as many have expected. In fact after the mini was sent to them, it was kept in there shop for almost 5 months. This is before, my mini required a major modification works and Mike would to clear the other projects on hand before starting mine.


Finally, it was after February 2008, they cleared the workshop and started my Mini. Mike assigned one of his best handy man to work on the Mini. At this point of time, I was rather busy visiting them to ensure the person understand perfectly what I want from all aspects. Besides that, this routine visit and review on the bodywork also allow me to check and confirm whether my design on paper will produce the exact synchronize effect that I wanted. After all, a two dimensional design may not be as accurate as the three dimensional outcome. In fact, that is how I spend most of my Saturday and sometimes week day for the next 6 months. 

Below are some interesting picture on the progress of the mods:



There will be more posting of the modification progress in my next posting, showing you even more detailed works on the Mini Cooper S7.
