MK2 Mini Cooper S Snowberry white

McNair Motorsport had a MK2 Cooper S dropped off at our workshop for a full restoration. After the car was stripped back to a bare bodyshell it was evaluated and the necessary body panels were ordered.

With new front wings, front panel, rear valence, front and rear floors, inner sills, outer sills and various repair sections fitted the car was then taken to the Body Shop to have its paintwork applied.

With the bodyshell back at the workshop in its new Snowberry White and black colour the build up of the running gear commenced. The freshly powder coated subframes were assembled with fully adjustable suspension and uprated bushes. The subframe assembly’s were then carefully fitted to the bodyshell using new bolts and brake pipes.

With the shell now a rolling assembly a very excited customer took delivery of it so he could fit his new interior and engine.
