Hi Keith, From dead to breathing again sounds sweet engine now and great call with the fuel pump could pay to change fuel filter.Name for the mini let the wife or kids name her/him,you must have a very understanding family with three classic minis now !!
Kieth.. I'm going to watch this over a few time. It is packed with tips and tricks on testing components.. Absolutely valuable information.. thanks for sharing. I am taking notes...
Hi Tom, hope you are well. Will be down your way tomorrow at about 7ish with Brighton Mini Club at Stanmer park. Welcome to come and have a look or don't mind dropping by 👍
@@classicminiworkshop Hi Keith, that would be great. I will aim to pop over later and hope to see you and the car! where abouts in the park does the club meet?
I really enjoyed this one Keith, I've not worked on many injection minis and those that I have have been brake/suspension related. Learning more about the step by step diagnosis was really gripping. Top work Keith
Poor car seems to have been stored underwater! :-) Nice to see it coming back to life - I have one from the same year, so interested to see the various jobs you do....
I was pretty determined to get it running one way or the other. Shame I didnt get on film when I tapped the injector because it instantly went from rough running to as smooth as silk
Great vid Keith, glad you got the mini going, I to was willing the car to start! I have got a couple of suggestions for a name... Project Green Day, Marc 'Almond' aka soft cell. 😊
Really looking forward to this series Keith. I'm going to be doing some stuff to my Touring soon so it will be nice to see what you find on your car. That Mini has some nice John Cooper Garages bits on it (you've probably noticed and compared it with P111 OOW already). Original Cooper Garages mats and monza fuel cap (it has grub screws on it).
Well spotted! Didnt know the floor mats or fuel cap were JCG items? I'm pretty sure the door handles etc. are JCG. It also has a stainless steel exhaust (Don't think its Janspeed but not looked properly yet), brand new K&N in the airbox too
We had to whack the fuel pump on our Fiesta a couple of times to get it going but that one had it. It's never a good idea to let the tank drop below 1/4 as you rightly said they can seize up. Im guilty of running my tank near R a couple of times but will now make sure it never drops below 1/4. I don't want expensive repairs.
She sounds sweet, did you look at the how many left website? I'm supprised at how low the numbers are...as I said in the previous video this one has to go back 100% factory, or at least factory options, was looking at a 1969 mini cooper, fully restored for £50k!!!! I know this isn't that old yet but one day she will be and there will be even less of them then....
I think the later MPI Minis will become very rare. Purists shy away from them as they don't have a carb, are quite complex electrically and need to meet later emission standards so can be difficult to MOT if not running correctly. Later Minis also have a bad reputation for rot so to have one rust free and all running as normal is becoming a rarity
Really enjoyed that vid! I don't know why but as soon as I saw its cheeky little face I though of the name Eddie. Has nothing to do with the colour though Keith, sorry.
Erm, shame about the over-explaining of everything. Erm, better to just get on and do the various things and we'll watch as you go. Erm, it is how the top car vloggers do it. Erm... !
Erm, it's just my style of video. I'm not trying to be a top car vlogger. Many people enjoy my videos, sorry if it doesn't appeal to you but thank you for taking the time to feed back.
Still doing my binge watching, can't believe how nice Sprout turned out after seeing it in these clips!
nice little project. the color reminds me of an old tv show, Gumby

The kids want to call it Sprout, I could live with that I reckon
Keith, there's nothing more satisfying than bringing a car back to life :)

Great to see her running again Keith. Fingers crossed it goes smoothly. Can’t wait to see the rebuild as it progresses
Thanks Tom, I was planning to start it in September / October but I've been getting a bit carried away LOL

@@tomhumphries9731 Will be in the first car park on the right as you drive into Stanmer park from about 7:15 - 7:45

Thanks Will
Wow Kieth that car was such a good find the boot area is mint. Sounds sweet as a nut. 👍
that engine sounded so sweet after a few hours of work
I'm amazed how smooth it is. Up close it looks like it's spent the last 10 years at the bottom of the English channel!
Poor car seems to have been stored underwater! :-) Nice to see it coming back to life - I have one from the same year, so interested to see the various jobs you do....
Was I the only one shouting "come on" at the screen when you were trying to get it started.............Well done Keith, sounds great.
I was pretty determined to get it running one way or the other. Shame I didnt get on film when I tapped the injector because it instantly went from rough running to as smooth as silk
Nice one. Great to get a engine like that going again.
Excellent Keith! Was great to see you going through it in your head, your experience shows massively
Thanks Matt
I know it's quite randomly asking but do anybody know of a good website to stream new tv shows online?

Well done mate! Green Goblin for the Project name. Project Green Goblin has a nice ring to it!
Great vid Keith, glad you got the mini going, I to was willing the car to start! I have got a couple of suggestions for a name... Project Green Day, Marc 'Almond' aka soft cell. 😊

Well done mate tackled that like a professional maybe you should get a job as a patroler? Can't wait to see what the future holds for this car
Must try not to get too attached to it LOL

The A-Series is a bloody good engine.
It amazes me that it stayed in production so long and is so tune-able
Project John after the late great John Cooper.
This engine has 2 injectors?
Yes it has 2
Great 1st episode, another thing ticked off the list
Really enjoyed that vid! I don't know why but as soon as I saw its cheeky little face I though of the name Eddie. Has nothing to do with the colour though Keith, sorry.
Wait until you’ve transformed it and call it the Green Goddess
misfire mini sound like an aircooled bug for some reason
You could call it Peggy as there is P E G in the number plate or Peg for short or going with green theme Pod as in Pea pod or Snotty
anyone else cheering come on sprouty lol
Project Pod
how about cooper for a name
I was thinking it's a bit common but it's pretty good as a project name
