Hope your dad gets back to full health, great video.
Hope your father has a full recovery, thankyou for your videos
CANT wait until you and your dad get to weld in the cant rails together and hear your dad say “don’t forget, thumbs up and hit that like button”
luvly jubbly, just need your dad to rejoin the team!
Hi Lad's . Hope you're enjoying your weekend
A very enjoyable video as always. I’ve been panel beating for 32yrs and knowing that this is your hobby and not your trade is really impressive. You’re doing a great job. Be good to see dad back on next episode. Big thumbs up pal 👍
Misss seeing your dad helping out, lovely fella ..
Great to see the cant rails going in. Not too long now before its all primed up .
Awesome job mate. Don’t know how you managed without dad there to help. Crack yourself a cold one and keep at it lads.
Hope your dad is ok and will be back soon. One tip I can offer you and I hope you won’t be offended. WEAR gloves AND a full face visor. I had a couple of incidents when a cutting disc exploded and hit my full face visor. I dread to think what would have happened had I not been wearing it. You only get one set of eyes, look after them. I have also had a couple of close shaves when cutting/grinding. All the best and looking forward to next episode. Norman
see you soon dad. I am sure he will want to see everything you have done whilst he has been away....
Good progress . Trust you dad will be back soon .
coming along , feel better dad
All the best to your dad 👍
Hi Mark, hope your dad is better soon, the garage bar has run dry! You may remember I asked you what you plans were for the cant rails a way back as I knew they were different but after watching the latest installment Ive ust realised that the B pilar was also a different length and is shorter than the MK3 on version, so many differences between shells that look so similar at first glance, keep up the good work
Wishing the legend a speedy recovery
I've been staring at the picture for minutes and minutes...That car is beautiful! I haven't even started the video!
They’re a cool shape the early ones aren’t they 👍
@@upbuild4397 Yes, very much so. I have just two shells and two cars. One is too far gone, the other also seems too far gone. The back of the cars just set the standard for cool for me. To think, it was a commuter car.
For me it is a supercar.
We wish him well and will be back fighting fit soon
G'day,
Great job. But I bet you had trouble standing up straight after being in that position for a while.
Owe and my best to you dad . Hurry up and get well. Maybe a quick shot of him recovering.
So thankyou for sharing.

Take my hat to you guys, so much work, one day at a time
Amazing attention to detail. Well done.
Thanks for showing in detail why the MK1 cant rails were so necessary. Now I think back I can remember my mum's MK1 had a much more 'domed' look to the headlining. But man that was an epic amount of work (and still not finished!), it just shows your determination to do the job right. I do hope your dad is back with you soon, we all miss him.
Big job on this mk4... Conversion mk1.

Let's crack on love it 😀 🤪 👏
Best wishes to your Dad, a man who has clearly done the whole Dad thing exactly right. My Mum is in and out of hospital right now so I know this is very worrying for you.
Excellent fella 👍👍
Ya pops will be biting at the bit to get back in the garage 👍👍
Thanks again for another cracking video , hope dad is feeling better
Enjoyable watching cheers pal 👍👌👏
Like a glove 😎
Another great video, all the best to your dad!
So glad to hear your dad will be back soon, you're getting there one piece at a time and can't wait to see the done...
Brilliant. That was like an educational video.
Looking great mate well done 👍🏼
Great video look forward to seeing your dad NX video keep up great work mini looks great 👍
Nice work Mark, hope you've got the beer fridge stocked up for your Dad!
Great video, looking forward to having your dad back with us on the next episode!
Looking really good mate! All the best for your Dad.
Really enjoy watching you and your dad doing this MK1 Mini project , I do hope your dad is feeling better soon and in the next video enjoying a beer with you.
I hope your Dad is back up to full health very soon. Great progress made.
Fantastic !
Wonderful work
I used one of those spot weld drills on my mk1 about 30 years ago. I wish I’d have thought about the 2mm centre guide hole, great idea. Glad to hear your Dad’s on the mend.
loving the build
Why Aye man!
Some good work there, coming along nicely. Hope your dad's feeling better soon. Missed him 😺
Looks good. Forward progress feels great on these kinds of projects. Im converting a 1962 Ford Falcon from a 4 door into a two door. Ive drilled out at least 500 spotwelds! But, its just lots of careful trial fitting of each part before you weld!
Ah that sounds like a great project, have you got it documented anywhere?
@@upbuild4397 Lots of pictures, but I need to get them organized one day. Ive also got a 66 Mustang coupe thats waiting for my attention. I need about three more of me!
Really enjoy that your taking the time to do it right, that way hopefully the mini will be around for many years when completed. Pleased to hear Dad is on the mend 👍😊
thank you for another great episode. keeping the mini authentic to mk 1 is going well
you have a great knowledge of the engineering of the mk 1 mini. Hoping your dad gets well soon
missed him from the build. All the best.
Keep up the great work it's looking good. 👌
I used one of those for removing spot welds, mine is a Sykes-pikavant zipcut I loved it as just as I cut through the first layer of metal I'd get a little burst of rust dust so I didn't but through both layers. At 75 climbing in and out of mini bodies is no longer fun. I'm amazed at the detail you are putting into this project. great to watch thanks for sharing.
And gloves
Classic cars have one common problem; RUST!!!!
Enjoy your upbuild, but can't help thinking you would have had a lot less work restoring the mark 1 shell !
Please use eye protection
👍👍👍👍
How much is a remade heratige shell from the factory?
£13500 just answered my own question
Wow they’ve gone up a bit, used to be 12k
We call it a 'SPOT DRILL' in our shop.
Ah thank you 👍
What do you call the other normal looking spot weld drill but with the flat end?
How is your dad doing
He’s all better now, he was mainly taking care of my mam who wasn’t well. Thank you for asking 😁👍
What's happened to upbuild is it still on air 2023
