Can I ask what cutter ( grinder) that is your using.. Is it any good and can you get blades OK
The green grinder/cutoff tool is a parkside, from lidl was about 20 quid and the cutting disc is 3 inch. Very cheap and easy to get. The red one is Milwaukee die grinder and is a fantastic tool! Using 2 inch twist lock sanding disc's and 2 inch cutting disc's all super cheap from ebay. Thanks again for watching, commenting and I hope this helps 🙏
You should of asked alex to come and assist ... Roll cages are a pig to get right 👍🏻
Thanks for that. I thought I was making a bit of a meal of it. 😆 Thanks for watching
Looks good ads some nice welding
Thanks I'm pretty sure it was worth the effort 👍
Thays cheating i wanted to see you struggle drilling for the cage
Oh man, believe me, I'm in the garage struggling right now, trying to line it all up. What a shit job! But I still enjoy it somehow 😁
@@adsminibuild5791 we are idiots mate I'm currently taking apart my heater matrix to clean, refresh and paint it!!! Whyyyyy haha
Whayyyyyyy he's backkkkk
Not saying it's right but I think I would of welded the inside edge with fine tacks to leave the visible side clean. Also it would of been easier to grind up. but I know myself how long these things take, good luck.
Thanks for that I'm planning on doing the other side slightly different. I'm no fabricator by any stretch of the imagination so any advice is greatly appreciated, thanks for watching and commenting 👍
I can spend hours on my mini and only seem to make small progress so I know what you mean
Get yourself a Dremel , will save you a lot of time , new subscriber 👍👍👍
Thanks very much. That's a good shout, I've got one buts it's more of a modelling tool. Thanks for subscribing I hope you enjoy my mini build 👍
Progress.. nice work dude
Thanks mate hope you're well? I really need to catch up with your channel, I've had a lot on.
I’ve got one of those electric files that would of been perfect for the spot welds , it’s also great for getting in tight spots , great little tool
I also had to get the belt sander on them aswell, could really get in there better. Thanks for watching 👍
I think it would look better once you continue the “flange” around the corner , it would look more like it’s meant to be … I like the short videos , and I definitely like watching someone who (like me) likes the little mods that don’t stand out !
Nice one ads! Mini project is back on!!!
Great to see you back, I'd be happy with just little "snippet' videos here and there! Cheers 😀
Nice to see you’re still cracking on with the build ! I’ve been out of action for quite a while now due to many issues at home , well , I don’t own a home anymore that being one big issue lol , I still have a mini and ‘one day will be able to get some time to get that roadworthy again ? Great to see the updates even the short ones ! Something is better than nothing ! Keep up the good work buddy you’re doing an ace job ! Paul
I'm really sorry to hear about that. I really hope you've got yourself back on track 👍 Im sure you're be fixing yours up soon doing some crazy shit to it! Also can't believe no more L2B!
Can't wait to take it for a spin when you finish 😂 Nice to see your vids pop up again! 😊
Adam, any updates mate? Been a while!
I no right! I've only done a few little bits nothing much to note. Little family & house taking priority. How about you, how are you doing?
@@adsminibuild5791 as long as you haven’t got rid of it you can always come back to it! I had 6 months-year where I didn’t step foot in the garage while building mine when my boy was born. Yes all good thanks lots of little jobs to keep me busy
Have fun Mate
Great work again Ads truly a bespoke mini. Keep it going Dad
Myford is all set up, so lost of custom bit's coming up ✌️
Nice work Ads you've certainly got more patience than me haha
I'm very patient, but this pushed me to the limit! I can laugh about it now & I'll get there in the end..... Thanks for watching ✌️
He's back!!!!!!! Yayyyyyyy garage looks great bud
Thanks, I wish I insulted it now. I'm so happy to be back! Bring on the blood sweat and tears ✌️
Ads great work. To get MK1 bits to work on modern materials is going to be tough but it will be worth it in the end, very few people would go to the detail you are applying, definitely a show winner in the making. That really sucks about the primer but I am sure you will get that turned around. well done Ads very proud of you cannot wait to see this beauty roll out of that garage. Dad
I can't explain how much time is going into these locks..... Or lock I still have one to go. Like you say, be worth it in the end & if it was easy........ ✌️
Nice looking garage
Thanks let's hope I can keep it like that!
always good to have a well organised garage. great to see you back on TH-cam, I am looking forward to seeing your progress
Thanks & I can't wait to get cracking........ Bit by bit back to work tomorrow 😔
Welcome Back 👍
Thanks. & thanks for sticking with it ✌️
Looks like you've got the garage cleaned up nice, happy new year m8😉
Thanks & to you. Hopefully I can do the garage justice ✌️
Good to see you back mate!
We got there in the end. Thanks for sticking with it ✌️
Came across your video was a good watch . What bolts did you use on the sides to attach the front to the a panels??
They were from ebay. If you search JDM dress up kit or bolts you can get them in all different colours. About 5 quid for 20. I'm glad you liked the video, it means a lot, new video coming up after Christmas. ✌️
Seen you welded the nuts on the inside what did you do with the washer for it to stay? Thanks again
A washer would be a good idea for sure. I tack welded a plate on the back of the panels to make it stronger. Then welded the nuts to the plate. Be very careful not to over heat the a panel as I did on one side. Do a little tack & come back to it ✌️
I have been searching for vids like this I was driving the mini 1100 special for 1980
It's a great day out. Hopefully we can all go next year🤞
Great day mate , I was there with my son will go back next year 👍
It sure is, we will be back next year thanks for watching 👍
Best video on youtube as my minis are at the start yay lol 👍👍
Mark piper thanks for watching, there was a nice lot of Minis this year but didn't seem to be as many race's. Still a quality day out! Sunshine, Minis & racing what more can you ask for 🏁👍
I think you were right about making a plate to scribe into the frame instead of using the plates you have m8👍
Yes I think that's the best option at this time. Thanks for watching again 👍
Looking quite good…. I’m all too familiar with how one small change can snow-ball into more changes. You’re handling it all rather well.
I'm slowly getting better at making bit's fit that definitely shouldn't 😅 every day is a school day for sure! Thanks for watching 👍
I like your attention to detail.... and your ability to think outside the box..... then actually trying out your ideas.. success or not.. OUTSTANDING!!
Thanks so much Randy, I do my best. Thanks for watching again 👍
It will certainly look different with the hidden locks😉
Thanks lets just hope it works, nothing like overcomplicating something 😂
@@adsminibuild5791 I'm sure that your efforts will reap rewards m8😉
Surely it’s paint time soon aha.. no jokes aside this is the important part getting things just how you want it
I wish. As you no, you dont want to start drilling and cutting after paint, that would not be good. Thanks for watching 👍
Ad's Mini build exactly all this prep is definitely worth doing, and once it’s in colour you will be dead chuffed
@@SimpsonsClassics i feel a bit worried i read that your not surposed to filler over etch primer. Some say its ok some say no no. Hopfully i wont have a problem i might do a test on some sheet metle?
Ad's Mini build I haven’t heard it’s a no no I know that bare metal is the best for filler but seen loads use filler over the primer
@@SimpsonsClassics you no when you get that sinking feeling, oh god i hope i dont have to start again. Im sure it will be fine thanks 👍
Hey Ad's can you get away with running no inner wings like it doesen't take away from the strength of the car does it ?
Good question there. One im not 100% on, but the stock inner wings are so thin like all the mini panels, 2mm ish so i would say the strength is in the panels holding each other together. I hope that makes sense. Another way to look at it, the racer's can cut the wings out and stay safe..... 👍
Whats your project mini like? Any plans?
@@adsminibuild5791 its a 1000cc austin 1980 mini shes turning up in the morning my plan is like u to do a full resto, if your on the classic pages on fb then i will see you as im on a few :D
just bought myself a classic mini project and i absolutely love this :D please post videos of what engine u fit and how u did it :D
Will do. Hopfully when i move the car i'll have space for all my stuff then you can all see my engine, seats and all the important stuff. 👍 thanks for watching and dont forget to subscribe for more 👍
And thankyou very much im glad you like it, means alot 👍
Cool job bro
Thanks very much 👍 Im glad you like it. Hopfully many more videos to come.
seriously I think the color coordination will look nice..
Thanks im glad you like it 👍 have a great imm
Superb work adam!!! Really looks smart got me thinking should I do that now!!!
Sorry 😂 thanks mucka 👍
Great work. Love the colour contrast, is the roll cage staying red? Or body colour ? Or different.
Thanks mucka. The plan for the cage is old english white same as the roof at this stage 👍
I'm sure you'll get the mesh to look the dogs, on the bonnet with the colours m8😉
Thanks alot, and thanks for watching again 👍
I really like the sound of the old English white mesh behind the cut out holes.
Thanks glad you like the idea 👍
Absolute cracking job mate ! That blue is going to look great ! The bonnet in my opinion will look really good with the triangles cut out but with your eye for perfection im sure it will look amazing!
Thanks very much and thanks for watching 👍
Seriously well done..
Thanks alot. Thanks for watching again 👍
Loving your attitude to the smallest of jobs ! This mini is going to be absolute perfection ..... loving the videos keep up the great work
Thanks so much! It means alot! The better i get at stuff the more fussy im getting 😂 thanks again for watching and the comment 👍
Those wheels have come up really well pal top work
Thanks very much,and thankyou for watching 👍
Great video this is something I wish I did to mine before paint.
Great video this is something I wish I did to mine before paint.
