Mini Cooper S7- Restoration (P7)

Hi friends,

It been months since I uploaded myself on the journey of the Mini Cooper S7. This few months is exciting as I am doing many interesting things that support my career movements.

Now things is more or less settle down, I would like to continue my sharing with you on my Mini Cooper S7, this morning, a guy told me its a Italian Job (the job... you get what I mean). Many have praised and forward complement to me with a thumb up on the road, I can say average once a day when I am driving this cute little creation.

Enough about the thrill, let focus back on the purpose of this blog: the Mini Cooper S7 restoration.

My last posting ended on the hanging over of this Mini to the painter: Nicholas, where he start pill off all the old paint to come ensure we clear all rust and uneven surface. This has taken him (and workers) about a week. That 7 days was worthwhile as the result, an all round clean body shell for him to start the simen work. Notice the body line where the body metal mod is? It is a example of perfect workmanship of SPSS motorsports.






While they was doing it, I drop in alternate daily to look thru while provide feedback to help them increase the perfection of the work. After almost three weeks with many phases simen laid, the Mini start to look all in one piece as needed.














During this time, I am also busy looking for parts for internal restoration from various car accessories shop, website and friend with the idea to prepare a sporty yet practical ulpmosfere. This has been sort out well with a few planning and networking with the right people.

At this point, my Mini have been treated with a layer coating before Nicholas put his fine hand to spot for uneven surface, simen it and sand it again and again to create perfection.

This is how it look like after 1 month of hardwork from Nicholas and team.....





Now, I sure you will agreed this Mini will look stunning once it done with paint job, which exactly what I will share with you in my next posting. Stay Tune!
