    So good to see all the detailed work ( with the more repetitive stuff sped through!! And no portly car buyer (WD) or would be comedian ( SOS) getting in the way!! just a couple of guys who really know what they are about. Great, looking forward to seeing the finished Mini

    Me and my dad used to work on cars together. He taught me the mechanical side when I was a kid. Then I left school and became a panel beater. 😩 32yrs later I’m still repairing cars and still loving it. Just wish my dad was here too, he passed away 3yrs ago. Watching you two is very enlightening for me and the content is fantastic. Keep it up 👍 👍👍👍👍

      Hi Kieth, thanks for that 👍 it’s nice to have your comment. Yeah we definitely intend on investing in a spot welder in the future but we don’t have the electrics to power it at the moment. The plug welding works find for now though.
      I’m enjoying your channel updates 😁👍, I’m a bit behind at the moment though, some catching up to do.

  • @stevewhaley997
    @stevewhaley997 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I would have just cut the roof off and worked on the roof upside down on a bench and removed any other panels from the shell you will need, saving a lot of time. I know that you will be able to save the second shell and make something from it , but is it worth the time that you could be spending on rebuilding the MK1 shell?

    • @battyboomfatty
      @battyboomfatty 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      The Mk1/2 ones are different from the later Mini ones, the way the headlining mounts is different. They're going for full authentic mk1 conversion, so the cant rails need to be changed.
