Making the ULTIMATE Mini R52 Cooper S – ‘Project PP’ Ep.1 | 4K

I have been set an obstacle by the men at Podium Place in Newbury. They have offered me this low mileage R52 Cooper S Cabriolet and asked me to turn it into the coolest Taxi in the UK. I've talked to my mate Darren at to pull this task together and get the cars and truck ended up by the end of April to come on the Podium Tours driving tour I am going on.

In this video we introduce the car, detail the issues it has and detail our plans that include comprehensive work to the engine, bodywork, suspension and brakes and interior.

    Can’t wait to see what you do to the R52 but that sneaky shot of the GP in the background 😍

    Great stuff. Had the six CD changer in my first R53 and never used it as I liked listening to the supercharger and exhaust more. And a cheeky guest appearance from a GP Legend. 😁

    Looking forward to this. I must admit that when you mentioned that the engine was in a sorry state, it seemed like a great candidate for a Vintage Voltage style conversion. I appreciate that it’s not really ‘vintage’ though 😂.

    The guys who gave you that car are utterly roofless.

    Interesting…🤔 Will be nice to see once it’s all done. I’ve got some nice ceramic wax and lovely leather cleaner that would set the car off nicely 😅

    Had one exactly the same as this (but in better condition) and loved it. It only made an appearance in warm/dry weather and was real fun. Sold it last August. Looking forward to seeing what you do with this.

    Nav, Climate, Cruise, H/K and Heated seats, quite a spec! Has the chilli pack too given the leather and Xenons. Plus the JCW bodykit and the R90 wheels this would have been an expensive car back in the mid-2000’s!

    Looks like a good base to build on but as I am finding with my R53 they are an absolute money pit but I love the supercharger. Until I got mine I did not realise how small they are compared to the latter generations of Mini. Enjoy the build 🤜

    What would be cool: If you raffle off the car when it’s done and I win it 🎉😂

    Awesome content fellas! Looking forward to this. So happy you are doing a whole series with MINI content Ped. It’s why I found your channel in the first place!

    Mulgari does crazy cool stuff so looking forward to what you guys will make of this. I have high expectations 🙂

    Brilliant! More Mini content! It’s what brought me to the channel in the first place. Love all the other stuff too, but really looking forward to this. And when are you getting an f56 track day car Pete? If Joe can have his M2…….. Tell Mrs. P “It’s for content! “ LOL 😉
