Yesus... thats a great looking mini. Very neat restoration! The Mk 3 in its best apperence. Great design.... keepin that seventies look in a classy way👍. Best regards from Mikael in Sweden
Have to agree about that music choice! :-/ However, it doesn't take away from the fact you've done a fantastic and very tasteful build ...well done and thanks for showing it to us! 👍
Very nice mini ! He did a phenomenal job on the restoration I was wondering do you know anybody that has a mrk1 for sale or would you be interested in maybe selling yours
Can I get some help restoring my 1975 mini cooper it was my first love and I got one recently that's in need of repairs to get it back to factory condition
Should have put in the second tank so you could claim Cooper S specs not a fake as this obviously is. Shame about the music as well - spoilt a good clip.
@@trogley1 I only took the 'claim' bit from the rather obvious 'Cooper S' badge adorning the boot lid. You have done an excellent job, the car looks magnificent. They're a great little bus, I learnt to drive in my Mum's "Mini Deluxe" - in Australia that's the 998cc model with wind up windows. They built them here for quite a few years. I wished we still had it, a car like yours would bring big money here.
Ditto the music. Just played over everything at way too high a volume. Do we get to hear the first start up? No! You need to see the light and ditch the junk music. Thoroughly ruined this vid.
Great restoration, your build quality and attention to detail on the bodywork, paint, mechanicals, chassis, wheels/tyres etc are all fantastic, I’m looking forward to the next video with details on the interior. Subscribed.
@@edinburgh1578 my first car in 1978 was an Austin, I think they called it a super 7. It was white with the black roof, the Cooper colour scheme, it had the red and brocade Cooper interior, with the long but chrome gear lever and chrome window surrounds. I couldn't afford a real Cooper at the time so this was the next best thing. It took a bit finding because of the low numbers, which I didn't realise at the time.
Used the back lights for night rallies so you could see if you had to back up. Had to wire thru a relay from reverse to avoid having the police thinking they were to use on tailgaters.
I hope you see this... im currently Mini Restoration in Nairobi KENYA. This is the closest to the outcome im looking for. Do you mind sharing the Color codes and tyre profiles you used? Much appreciated 🙏
Same colour as my dad had a genuine Cooper back in the 60s. Stunning build guys. Now for twin tanks to match the Cooper S badge.
P
That music though, oof.
Nice little car man.

Great detail, right down the period " reverse light " lol!
Where is the triple like button? Geewiz this is lovely! Top job. Greetings from South Africa.
Excellent, i noticed the wipers from a later mode park on the opposite side, maybe could have changed the panel , minus the holes
Have to agree about that music choice! :-/
However, it doesn't take away from the fact you've done a fantastic and very tasteful build ...well done and thanks for showing it to us! 👍
Interesting roll cage configuration
Well done!
Music on mute ahhhh that's better,nice work, my uncle gave his mk 1's' away(not to me!)
Nice build 👍
I think once all the welding is done and in primer, you have cracked it !
It's ART!
If you watch till the end 6.59 you’ll see the wheel arch’s fitted that keep the wheels inboard of the bodywork and make the car legal.
amazing work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
beautiful
What's the spotlight on the back for? I've never seen those before. Looks cool though, that's a beautiful car.
Mk1 rally minis had a big reversing light there that looked similar. I imagine that's the look he's going for.
That's what we used back in the day!
Very nice mini ! He did a phenomenal job on the restoration I was wondering do you know anybody that has a mrk1 for sale or would you be interested in maybe selling yours
Best car ever
Beautiful well done
Finishing ok brother
I'm riding too, but it's a cool mini!
nice!
Seen on the isle of white
Love those massive trumpets on the carbs, what hp has it got?
nice car, would like to hear it instead of that sound,
How much would something immaculate like this be worth?
You could probably get about 15000 pounds for it easily
Part 2 when?
Hi do you know the colour code of the grey colour you used? Cheers
Tweed grey
Very nice job maybe change the light bulbs to more moden
like the retro look
What did you use to seal all the seams?
upol brushable seam sealer

What a hideous car... Loved the music though!
Lol
Trogley1- what brand and code is the grey paint please? I am after the same finish for a repaint. Cheers.

I want one :(
Love the color, can you please share what color is it? Thanks
tweed grey.bmc colour
Hope you straightened up that squinty rear number plate at 2:47
Can I get some help restoring my 1975 mini cooper it was my first love and I got one recently that's in need of repairs to get it back to factory condition
Love the colour ! What is it called ?
tweed grey
@@trogley1 it's an amazing colour combination, is it a mini colour ?
yes but a 60's colour combo
Yep, agreed the colour looks fantastic and the white contrast roof sets it off nicely.
Here we go again, ruined video by crap music, had to turn off
Hello - got one like for sale by any chance? x
Twin tanks?
No
That music 😨
What's the name of the color ?
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🚘👍
Why do people insist on ruining a video with total shite music! Beautiful car but that crappy music!
Exactement toujours des musiques de merde :)
Black and silver number plates cannot be used after 1971!
Cars built before January 1973 which this was and was registered October 1973
Beautiful car......shitty song choice...
sorry i build cars, not so good on the computer just wanted to share
Oh dear god the music.. Why do youtubers do this !
Could do without the music, can I turn it off 😊
Pity about the shite music. Had to switch off
That is not a Classic Mini it is 10 years to new
I think 46 years makes it a classic?
That music was bloody awful. I watched five seconds of the vid and turned it off. JUST.... BLOOODYYYY ....AAAAAWFUUUUL
Nice car, but what the hell is that bloody awful soundtrack??
Should have put in the second tank so you could claim Cooper S specs not a fake as this obviously is. Shame about the music as well - spoilt a good clip.
it would take a lot more than twin tank to make it a cooper s, I'm not trying or want to make a cooper s, I've built a car the way i like it.

Nice video but what a bad soundtrack 😓👍
The music is so annoying
Shite noise ruined a good rebuild.
turn the fucking music off man

Lovely car. Awful music.

Subscribed.
I wanna hear the motor!!!
Great video, even greater mute button.
The smile on the face driving back into the shop ...priceless.
Beautiful car , but it would have been nice to hear the engine instead of the music .
th-cam.com/video/rmPiHcm3CNM/w-d-xo.html
yeah, how many bloody times did he wanna see the light
Beautiful rebuild spoiled by the worst "music" imaginable!
super good
Lovely car, shite music, with the same tedious line throughout!
Fantastic, only seeing the finished car I had no idea of how much work was done. nice work sir
What light was the guy singing about? The interior one? Cool video, amazing job, sir!
The reverse light!
Rear spot is very 'a la mode'. My favorite colour combo. nice job :)
Good job the mechanical work is to a (much) higher standard than the camera, video editing, and choice of music.
The car is awesome... The music to trash.....
Looks so good and quick.
Good job
What size wheels and arches please..?? And is the mini lowered or anything..? Perfect Stance, car looks fantastic..
In my eyes, that is exactly how a Mini should look.
Bold colour choice but it works.
I also love British racing green with a beige roof
Tweed grey with old English white roof. Factory colour for original 60s Minis.
@@edinburgh1578 That is the point, very few would be bold enough to choose grey.
Very rare.

Ask for it to be featured in forza horizon 4
What the music????🤢🤢🤢🤢
La MINI c'est une bioutifoule bagnole 🤗
This is really awesome!!!! NICE
I’m thinking of doing something similar to this but was wondering about how much it would roughly cost? (Not including the sandblasting and respray) 👍
Robert Horne 5-7k minimum
Great job !
Cracking rebuild guys, you should be very proud of this car.
Used the back lights for night rallies so you could see if you had to back up. Had to wire thru a relay from reverse to avoid having the police thinking they were to use on tailgaters.
Yu
music nul nul ????????
What size are those wheels??
6x10
Rubbish music spoils the video
you totally fooled me into thinking the terrible music had ended at 6:20.. but then you started it up again and I stopped watching.
Top job! can I have color code?why do i make one project and I'm trying to get a good tweed grey color.thanks.
Is it the Tweed grey ?
Awful music😞💩that's why no like but dislike
I hope you see this... im currently Mini Restoration in Nairobi KENYA. This is the closest to the outcome im looking for. Do you mind sharing the Color codes and tyre profiles you used? Much appreciated 🙏
It's tweed grey, a 60's MK1 Coope colour - replaced Smoke grey, which was slightly bluer
What is the name off the grey?
hi its tweed grey,BMC colour.
I was going to ask the same. Thanks. Really nice colour and build!
Good build horrible soundtrack.
Well done. Looking to buy one.
