I'm with Matt, started watching about half way through when threatened by having to watch Delia Smith flouncing around the kitchen.
Not transformed into something actually good but there were glimmers of hope, the sprayer clearly has a clue about actual restoration and the quality and longevity of original parts anyway.

Mini one again utter crap!
Why on earth would you cut floor pan out with oxy acetalene anyway. Not that he was useing a cutting torch, that was just a brazing /welding nozzle.

The narator said they puched holes on the new panel for RIVETS!! Must have a bloody big rivet gun!
And fancy cleaning spark plugs that have been giving missfire and stood so long, anyone with any sence would just fit new, there not expensive enough to warrant cleaning!

Also they made up a standard 998 to look like a Cooper - not only grossly misleading but also plain stupid. I note the original dealer reflective raised-digit number plates were swapped for modern ones too.
