Can you Mig weld Stainless to Mild Steel?
Do 10” wheels fit under 8.4” discs??
@@franciscomelendez3894 it would technically fit but it’s the brake calliper that won’t fit hence why you need to change to smaller discs and callipers
Going to be an awesome car when it's finished, good on you having a go. Cheers Marty's projects 👍
Body colour boot 👍
Do you know what the radiator is from? Cheers
@@marty_the_mini I do indeed and it took a lot of research haha! VW polo g40
@fitzysminis haha cheers man. I have a polo 16v one at the moment. But your one looks thicker. Just looking for more cooling. Liking the fresh build. Top work 👌
@@marty_the_mini I can send you to the eBay link if you want
@fitzysminis yes please if you can and I'll check it out 👌

Running rough like that would suggest either a sticking float or needle valve, bent needle? Bad fuel...... Either way best thing to do is always take the carb off give it a strip and clean and a good blow out make sure everything is as it should be.
Many cars have offset columns
I’d would be dubious about running fuel lines in with the water lines, I had fuel vapourization problems with my Zcars mini, when it was stood idling on a hot day it was making the fuel vapourizing, I moved them out from the water lines and it solved the problem
@@Hondamark2 bloody hell where were you a few videos back🤦 I hope that’s not a problem I’m going to encounter but I’ll let you know
@@fitzysminis sorry pal, only just noticed your videos of late, I’m building another one now with R1 bike engine in, I’m only in Wrexham , whereabouts are you ?
@@Hondamark2 good to know there’s another Zcar owner local, I’m only 15 minutes from Wrexham 👍

Very cool,i love the 911SC,i own my targa sc since 1990,and every time,when i drive i am happy and have a big smile on my face. 😊
Coming on nicely, will be well worth it 👌
I hope so!
High gear shifters remind me of my lorry driving days
Really nice workmanship.. Close gear through.. Love it
Glad you like it!
That’s gorgeous
To be fair although a right pain to put right, if oversills hadn’t been put on when minis were just a cheap second hand car, yours would’ve failed it’s mot and been scrapped decades ago. So at least they’ve helped a good number of cars survive long enough so enthusiasts can fix them properly. Good work. 👍
@@jonjoyce3188 that’s a different way to look at it I suppose, in my experience they’ve all been put on in the last 10/15 years so probably been done by a so called enthusiast but hey ho!
In Florida but I am a classic mini freak..I will share this channel with the mini community here..
@@1275minicooper amazing thanks! Plenty of content in the pipeline

Top job there! These m machine panels are great, but on a normal mini you have to figure out a way to weld the heelboard brackets on to the inner sill, as the outer sill blocks the access.
SUBBED/LIKED and will share to help build your channel Bud. Best wishes Wales [UK].
The M-machine inner and outer sills are quality, I found they needed trimming to fit on my car but went in OK. If I was you I'd keep the doorstep. Have a look at the profile on the magnum panel. The square edge profile is shite. I never understand why people use Over sills it's proper cowboy job. Good to see your building it back properly.
Thanks for the video. I did cringe at 9:38. Plz wear gloves with that cutting wheel!!
The cuts and scars on my hands would tend to agree with you…
Will you need to weld a rail between door to door to stop the shell from twisting? Or is there enough rigidity there already?
If you cut out the door step then yes but if you leave the door step in you’re ok
s it an automatic choak? Otherwise you need to pull out the choak button fot a cold start
@@paulAshton-wn8ps I’ve been using the choke it too, thanks for the comment though
Your engine fan is on the wrong way mate turn it around it won’t cool the engine otherwise
@@JustBurnOil common things on minis! Inherited it like that but thanks for the heads up
If its been sat a while with older fuel in it and it ran fine before, I'd bet on gunked up carb from fuel going off or varnishing. I've had it a lot with modern petrol *especially* with cheaper petrol, my 4 stroke small engine got clogged up constantly from the cheaper fuel clogging the needle in the carb. I'd start with looking at the carb needle for anything blocked, then investigate the rest of the carb. I solved mine by stripping it down and giving all the parts a soak and blast with brake cleaner then rebuilding and its run smooth ever since. I'd highly reccomend sticking with the better E5 fuel. Sounds like its close and really wants to run, but just not quite there. Give carb a quick clean and replace old fuel with some nice new quality fuel and see if it fares better. I really can't state how important the better fuel seems to be on older engines. Good luck!
@@CaptainHairSA thanks for the comments I’ll give that a look!
Maybe float issue, or a stuck needle jet. Taking the carb off seems the only right thing to do.
My thoughts too, float valve stuck?
Could be excessive wear in the carb- might need re- bushing.

Thanks for the video, but I hope you get some proper tools for Christmas 🎄
Nice video but two things never to do. Always use axle stands and never jack a Mini where the floor is. Best place to jack...the front subframe flat section near the lower arm with a small flat piece of wood .
Nice video,I noticed your jacket, do you work for DAMS?......the bike side.
Did anyone notice that the fan is fitted back to front.
Thanks for that, They’re always on backwards so I’ll change that. (If only they said engine side on the fan😂)
Very good instructions Very clear and well explained 😊
Didn’t doubt it would start for a second!
Congratulations on the mini purchase, buying an unfinished project is a great way to get a cheap car!

Valve.

@@dlzmedia2792 eco and comfort one side is open and in sport / sport+ when you accelerate then both open. As well as in park for revs.
How do you like this car man? About to trade in my bmw 435i xdrive... how is it performance wise
Would've been better if you didn't put any revs at all.
Hello ... you sound like a leprechaun...yes you can with enough heat...but how stupid you sound....shows enough how ignorant you are
