Wow dear followers of my blog, its been almost 2 months that I did not post updates on my Mini. Its being a busy last two months plus for me with my job. Now, I finally can sit down and give you my further story on my S7.

In my previous posting, I promised to share with you even detailed picture on the bodywork mod of my mini and how an idea can transform into an amazing street machine. Here are those fantastic pictures and the work from SPSS.....











Many more picture of the body mods for you......










All the work above for S7 take exactly a month and half to perfection. Its was worthwhile to see the final outcome.

The next step will be preparing the whole body for painting. What colour? Wait and see. 

For now, I will share the adventure of how this mini in getting a new dress for the glory. The car was handed over to a experienced painter called Nicholas. Nicholas have been in the business for the pass twenty over years, starting as a worker at the age of 16 to a chinese tauke. He work himself through from the basic body preparation to later skillful paint job. 

He is very good at body alignment and smooth surface siemens for car as he has vast accumulated skill doing paint job for Vans for many years. This is exactly the person I needed to recreate my mini bodywork.

This picture below will proof my point...
