Are you sure it is a Mk2 Cooper S shell? I can't see any evidence of the boot board brackets although the rear bulkhead shots are too dark to tell. Also there is no RH tank stand. I would need someone more knowledgeable to confirm this, but the only other thing I can think of checking is whether it has the servo mounting holes in the RH inner wing, and the control box mounting holes next to the cross member, I'm just not sure if all cars had them or not. As it has no front panel it is impossible to tell from that.

It looks like a very savable car though but it is certainly a lot of work. Good luck with it, I look forward to seeing your progress.
