From Bumped to Beautiful:
The Repair Journey of a Classic Mini at Mini Sport! ๐ ๏ธ
When a classic Mini, much loved by its owner, was involved in an unfortunate accident, it was entrusted to the expert hands at Mini Sport. The dedicated team, comprising of skilled craftsmen and bodyshop experts, immediately set to work, committed to restoring this iconic vehicle to its former glory.
The accident had left the Mini with damage to the rear driver's side. However, a thorough inspection revealed that the rest of the bodyshell was in excellent condition, allowing the team to focus their efforts on the damaged area. A meticulous repair plan was devised to ensure a seamless restoration.
ย 
The damaged section was expertly cut out by skilled welders, with extra precautions taken to preserve the surrounding structure.
ย 
New body panels, including a complete boot floor panel, half rear panel, and rear valance, were seamlessly integrated. A new rear subframe was also installed, ensuring the Mini's structural integrity was fully restored.
The Mini Sport team understood the importance of retaining the Mini's authentic charm. The expert painting team skilfully prepped and painted the repaired area, expertly colour matching the new paint to the rest of the car.
ย 
This attention to detail ensured that only the repaired areas needed painting, preserving the Mini's original aesthetics.
ย 
In addition to the bodywork, a new stainless steel bumper, battery, and rear light assembly were fitted to replace those damaged in the accident.
ย 
The Mini was then carefully rebuilt by the team, restoring it back to its original glory.
The day of reunion finally arrived, and the owner was overjoyed to see their Mini looking as good as the day it left the factory. The satisfaction on their face was a heartwarming reward for the team's dedication to the craft.
