Going to miss this drive.

Thank you!

Just had a watch of your video, yours was definitely more involved than mine, how did you find the device worked? Mine amazed me how fast it worked.

Mine has twin tanks, I just don’t have the second tank fitted, I have tape over the hole. My second tank was in bad shape. I assure you it’s a real Cooper S, heritage certificate and all.

We will miss this house for sure.

@@steve1750 thanks a million, yes some trim still needs to be put on, and I’ve the interior to do also. Still a work in process but at least it’s a driver now!

@@harvey1166 thank you, these are definitely on the list for future upgrade. I needed something fast and cheap to get the car on the road.

Great Supra! Thanks for bringing it and letting us check it out.

Me too!

They were super good.

Thank you, it really was a great day out.

Hi there. Happy you like it but it’s not for sale. I’ve wanted one my whole life and finally have one. Not going to give it up that easy.

I’m down to try! They don’t need to be that tall either. Both front and rear hubs stick out.

Thanks bro, I saw them on a hard ass Audi rolling around these parts 😂

Springs pack a punch! Did you use a jack underneath?

I’m counting on that!

Absolutely! Let me know when, I even have a ton of that paracord left.

Thank you.

You can bring it and park it outside the show lol. It’s not THAT old yet.

Hey there, Unknown cam, engine was rebuilt by previous owner. Those dyno numbers are power at the wheels, don’t know power at the crank.

@@CHILLSEEKERSPATRICKDOWD if you ever have the chance I would advice to check what's in there. The low peak hp RPM indicates you could have a stock camshaft, in that case you could benefit from a more modern design. But 60 at the wheels makes more sense. Enjoy your great car!

@@GTE_ChannelI’d love to know what my cam is but I don’t want to start taking it apart again. 😂 than you for the advice. I’ll let you know if I find out.

@@CHILLSEEKERSPATRICKDOWD yeah that's a job for when you really have to. But by the sound of it your engine runs really sweet, do just enjoy it as is. Out of curiosity, what is the max this engine revs?

@@GTE_Channel I was told 7k by the guy who tuned it for me.

I like it so far, time will tell I suppose. I wouldn’t have used the blow torch if it was uniformly colored. It needed a bit of extra work. I’m sure if you used it before it faded so much it would keep it nice.

You want to borrow my bottle?

Should be a good time!

Thank you!! We’ll go for a spin shortly bud.

Thank you! And I can’t agree with you more. Great little car.,

Thank you, I’ll have to get some ear plugs for longer trips, but love the banshee wail right now. 😂It’s a 1310cc

Say no more about the many good non driving moments 😉🤣. Id love to check out his channel, can you share it with me? That sounds like a great mini. Driving these cars is just something else! I see why the production of them ran for soooooo long.

Likewise, It was 1963 850 and was 1275S after four years. Like the woodmans axe, there was very little original at the end. I think the floor mounted starter button was about it. I loved starting an engine by pressing a button. It's funny how that came back on modern cars! Ray Peto

No problem at all, I’m enjoying every second of it. Rebuilding cars is such a rewarding thing to do.

Same over this side. Absolutely love this car.

Thanks a million man!

I was pretty surprised at how fast it worked. It’s amazing how little led lights can be so bright, I have one on the dash of my vw van that’s too bright driving at night.

I got you babe! You’re very welcome.

It’s beautiful

Thank you! I love it.

Thanks Brian!

Hi, in one of my previous videos I was an installing the glass and cracked my windscreen. The car is actually away right now getting a new front screen installed and the rear screen will also be removed to fit some of the headlining. I agree, on this car the chrome strip looks great, it will be in there for sure.

I had a 1966 1275 S for many years, my favourite car ever. You used to be able to buy a roll of the bright chromed flexible plastic strip that fitted into the front and rear rubber screen surrounds and cut it to fit. Is this still made? It does complete the look of the car. Another thing: the original bumpers are ridiculously frail. You can dent them with your knuckles. People used to replace them with the *rear* bumpers of the later ugly box-fronted Mini Clubman, which were stronger and fitted both front and rear mountings on a standard Mini .Overrriders for these were available, but not the funny little top corner tubes which anyway were so weak as to be absolutely useless. You need a front Austin Cooper badge, a modest little item, probably vanishingly rare now. If you could find an original on someone else's car you could maybe get it scanned and a copy 3D printed and chromed.

@@RalphHancock great to hear from you! I’ve got you covered! I have the locking strips in the windscreens now, I have the front badges on a shelf waiting for the car to come back from paint for touch up. As for the bumpers, I went with the stainless bumpers, they don’t seem too weak. Maybe they improved? Mine are new. This car has rapidly become my favorite! Absolutely love it!

Have to make sure you know what I’m talking about! 😂

Thanks a million man! Very happy with it!

Ha ha, it was coming out one way or another.

It’s right hand drive now! I’m moving to Ireland in a few months and bringing it with me.

Is she drivable now? I still haven’t seen her. Can’t take her before I can. 😜 I still have the original bumpers.

Last bit needed to fit before first drive is the bonnet latch. Very close. Possibly dive it in the next week!

Thanks Kerri!! I couldn’t be more excited

After installation, the odor from our water went away.

There is real science behind this electric anode rod preventing electrolysis.

Thank you, not all steps forward are glamorous, but all necessary.

Makes the old doors sound new again!

I remember it being about 12’ long, I did a quick google on that and it’s says 12’ also.

@@CHILLSEEKERSPATRICKDOWD thank you

Mine came with a 4' cord (all the way down the tank, about 1 1/2' across the floor and 6 inches up to the socket)

You’re very welcome. I say go for it.

Thank you!!

Thank you for reaching out. Sounds like you hit on the right rust prevention combination. That’s amazing you still have that car. I’m getting close to getting this one back on the road very shortly.
