    Great to see you progressing on the Mkll. Your achieving a very sympathetic preservation job. Fascinating to see 'two' slinging brackets sandwiched together which, as you say, must have been done during the cars assembly in the factory. Could it have been a 'Friday' car ?😅.. Brilliant work again Paul and looking forward to a further episode.

    Great video Paul! Hiding the floor join on the crossmember flange is a nice tip!

    Thanks Paul; great to see as usual. Especially your decisions on where to cut (ie floor sections) - and the efficient sequence of steps to reinstate, including rust proofing. Thanks for sharing!

    As usual , another confident and skillful episode of "How to properly restore a mini" Paul . Was your hammer a "Snap on " with a rubber neck and swirled head that gripped and twisted the metal as you struck the object metal? I have one , it doesn't come out very often .......😊

    • @PWCV-YT
      @PWCV-YT  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I have used one of those hammers once and didn't get on with it, for this job I used an ordinary flat Sykes Pickavant

    What is your view on acid dipping and then E coat dipping? Bad idea on a seamed car?

    • @PWCV-YT
      @PWCV-YT  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I've heard lots of horror stories about dipping where they cannot neutralise the acid in the box sections and between flanges which causes problems after paying for an expensive paintjob. Apparently the process has improved recently but I wouldn't do it on my own car

      @ that’s very interesting! 🤔
      I’ll steer clear then and buy another mini with the money it was going to cost me!
