You are just a speaker....
@ruivaleriano9273 not sure what you mean? But thanks for your comment 😀.
It's looking good matey, well done.
@@malcolmlatham-bennett931 thanks 😊
Currently not able to walk. I took a shot every time you said epoxy 😂😂 only joking. Great video. Yout after giving me an idea now to put stone chip in the boot. I had been thinking on something instead of paint. And really good to see velma in one colour
@MiniDaly87 I definitely don't want to use or say epoxy again 😂😂. Using the raptor in the boot is genius 😂. I'm also using in the car on the floor.
@velmathemini great for sound deadening I kept the original stuff in mine. Shock horror. It wasn't rotten anywhere so it's a saving. The carpets hide my sins 😂
@MiniDaly87 I removed my original sound deadening because of all the previous welding & some had already been cut up. I found rust underneath some of it too. The crossmember, bins & some other parts are getting base & clear, anything else like the bulkhead, floor & seat area get the raptor.
@velmathemini your probably right to remove it all I think I was just lucky with mine. Can't wait to see further progress mate. Just watching your other builds now cracking colour on the sportspack
@@MiniDaly87 I particularly liked the surf blue, probably my favourite 😍. It's a shame because I've never seen them since 😪. I think I painted those in 2007/2008. Although I think the date is on the pictures 😂
Well done Rik 👏
@Stubacca48 thanks Stuart 😊
are you using paint stripper or sanding the paint off
@@jasonblann33 I thought about paint stripper bit decided against it, purely for the strong smell it gives off. So I just sanded it all with 80 grit & strip & clean wheels.
Great work rick 👏
@Stubacca48 thanks Stuart 😊
Looks so fresh 😮
@@MiniManLes thanks 😊
Great work and videos,which make of primer paint have you used as their is so many and is it a 2k also the raptor paint looks good will definitely use on my mini floor
@paulp2129 thanks. The epoxy primer is upol, it's difficult not to get runs lol & it's 2k. In my garage at 18 degrees takes around 5 days to cure.
Nice video mate I like the way you are tackling the panels by section I think I'll be doing the same with mine. Fillers after epoxy is a great idea people don't realise the moisture that's in fillers.
@MiniDaly87 agreed with the filler. I probably should of investigated this a few years ago & put a new qtr on, but hey ho, I'm down that rabbit hole now. Yes I have to do it panel by panel due to the lack of space. A respray can become overwhelming & I feel if I just concentrate 1 panel at a time it's easier. Thanks for your comment 😀😀.
It's coming on well
@@babsilicious you should take a look tomorrow 😀
Nice new shiny paint.😊
@@Stubacca48 it's a massive improvement from the 1k paint that was previously applied to the original paint. Thanks 🙂
You're fast 😂😂
@@MiniManLes I'm on bonus 😂😂
😂😂@@velmathemini
Good man rick 👏
@MiniDaly87 thanks john 😀
Crazy progress!!
@@elizawoodridge4465 definitely Eliza 😀
Pretty sure that bracket on the inner wing is for the charcoal canister on the later minis. Might be wrong but pretty sure I remember my 1993 Rio having one
@philhuggett4776 thanks for answering this question. I've got the part in my boxes of bits. Didn't know what it's purpose was though.
@@velmathemini I've just done a little googling and it looks like it's simply to collect fuel vapour rather than letting them vent to atmosphere. I'd just ditch it mate. Save having to clean up that bracket 😁
Did sprayed over with a colour after the bedliner was hardend?
@games-hy7km no, I added the colour to the bedliner & just sprayed it on. Then just left it to dry. I used a 100ml solvent base.
Excellent mate.Looking good 👍
@@leemellor7198 cheers Lee 😊
Excellent mate. Looking good 👍
Excellent mate,enjoying the channel keep it going.
@leemellor7198 thanks Lee 😊
I used the tintable Raptor on our mini but the color was slightly off but its good stuff. Should protect it for a few years that. Id recommend doing the boot floor too, inside, the back of arches and the bulk head behind the engine
@@karlgt9989 I believe mine will be a shade off as well, but I'm fine with that. The protection the raptor will give out weighs the colour difference. It's definitely a good choice to use it. I'll be doing inside the boot & inside the car. I wasn't thinking of the bulkhead, but now you've mentioned it... I think it's a good idea. I've still got 3 bottles left & I'll save on base & clear if I use that.
@@velmathemini you can only tell on the sills if you really look but yeah its good stuff
Velma's looking good mate, good stuff that raptor, keep up the good work. Cheers Marty
@@martysprojects thanks 😊. I think the raptor is definitely worth it.
looks sweet 😎
@@jonb8241 thanks 😊
Great work. Looking forward to getting to that stage with my Mini restoration
@@Conor.Twomey thanks 😊. It'll put a smile on your face when you get there. Makes everything worthwhile.
I like it 😊nice job 👍
@@classic1989mini thanks 😊
What a difference. Looks amazing!
@tbex9580 thanks 😊. It's definitely put a smile on my face.
Good work rick 👏
@@MiniManLes thanks 😊
I thought you were sealing with a brush?
@Stubacca48 yes, I like to do 2 layers of sealer just incase I miss anything the first time around. Next I'll be using brush sealer wit a brush 👍.
@@velmathemini ah, that makes sense now. It's a good idea.
Looking good 👍
@@MiniManLes thanks 😊
Loved the bandanna
@bettyboo2656 haha thanks beth. Keeps the dirt off my head & the sweat from my eyes.
Nice hulk t-shirt 💪
@Stubacca48 😂😂 one of my favourite t-shirts
I like the wheels. They'll look good when they're done. What tyres are you fitting?
@@MiniManLes hopefully they'll turn out nice. I've not thought about tyres yet.
Excellent mate. Looking good 👍 keep it up.
Thanks Lee. Happy to see you enjoying the process 😀
Excellent mate,well done ✔
Cheers Lee
Excellent mate,enjoying the channel keep it up ☝
Thanks Lee 😊
For the gaps, just tap the A panel in on the folded edge. You can get 1-2mm extra but just tapping the edge
Thanks for that... I'll give it a go. I know what you're saying about just the edge.
I love the amount of protection you've put on the inside of the door 👍
Thanks. Hopefully it'll help & with more cavity wax the protection will be 👌.
Usually a coat of bar coat works a treat .. seals everything in .. sometimes the wrinkling can be caused by wax as well .. great video 👍
I've never used barcoat before. I wasn't planning on stripping the inside of the door. I could have used it. I think with a bare shell restoration I was better off doing it though. Thanks for watching 👍
Perfect timing, got mine to do
If I'm honest, it's not to difficult upto this point.
If you had to pay fifty cents an hour , for the labor you would lose money big time !!
You're definitely right. I'm glad my time is free. The cost of labour would be through the roof.
On my list to watch I'll get there tomorrow 👍
No worries 😁.
The inside of the door looks really nice. Has that door had a skin before?
Apart from the outer edge where no sealer was used, the frame & inner door is in excellent condition. Yes the door has been skinned previously & it wasn't a heritage skin.
I haven't reached the doors yet, your video will be very helpful to me!!
Hopefully I'll be able to help. I'm getting information from other TH-cam videos. Everything about paint is all me though.
Excellent mate. Looking good. Keep it up ☝,
Cheers Lee 👍
Afternoon , good videos . What sound deading did you use and how much did you use on the car?
I've still to sound deaden the doors & a few areas on the qtrs, bulk head. The stuff I use I get from Curbar Paints in Oldham. The name of them is SPD-4 & I'm on my 4th pack. The dimensions are 500mm x 500mm x 2mm. You just grey scotch them & paint over. Hope this answers your question.
Thanks for your reply. Keep the videos coming. Good to see how others do business on the old classic.
@@alistairrussell4562 definitely more videos on the way. Just halfway through the drivers door skin at the moment.
Hi Rick, do you know what type of under-seal Mini's received during original manufacture?
Unfortunately I don't. The product I'll be using will be an upgrade with raptor.
@@velmatheminiOK, thanks.
I've seen Tim with the air rifle. If a stone hits the raptor, it shouldn't have a impact mark.
Yes that's the idea 😊
So this raptor sounds really good.
It definitely is. I've used it a couple of times now on pickup trucks.
Great vid keep up the amazing work
Thanks
Uffff !! Nice nice work!
Thanks
ok thank you very much which one was the most adjusted
Everything that was magnum, they don't fit very well. But for the price they'll do the job nice. I went for heritage on all the outer panels & they fit really nice. Made it a little easier.
hello can you tell me where you order your body parts
I got all the floor panels from Bullmotif, the outer panels from mini sport & some parts from minimine.
nice work in any case congratulations to you
@@EricCantrel-hs5fl thanks I appreciate that.
