- The Classic Mini Mk1 Conversion Returns
In this episode we finally get round to the challenging task of fabricating and lowering the rear quarter window roof line on both sides of the shell, this is to accept the 1960’s Mk1 rear quarter opening windows. We also fabricate and make the changes to fit the Mk1 dash switch panel.
So let’s crack on, I hope you enjoy the episode
Huge thank you for watching.

As always guys I'm never disappointed with the content of your video's. Can't wait for the next one. Fantastic to see you both back. Please pass on my best regards to you Dad. Lawrence from Heathrow.
Nice work guys and fantastic to see you both spending time together.
nice one lads, she's coming on a treat.
My first car was a mk1 Mini with the same dash as you showed there. Never needed an oil change - it leaked it out fast enough it was always nearly fresh. I knew when it needed a top up because the oil pressure gauge needle started to swing like a pendulum - dropping low on right hand corners!! Good to see you back!
Great to see you & your dear old Dad again! Cracking job as per usual! Cheers. Leigh. PS: mind & weld up the top & bottom seams on the quarter panel to door apertures!!
Cheers thank you 😁👍
Top work as ever, good to see yourself and your dad back👍

So wonderful to see you and your Dad working together again! 💖
Hello again. I`m so glad to see you and your dad back on youtube again. Thanks for another nice vid. Paul.
Great to see you back! You made a fantastic job on those rear windows. I must admit it brought a tear to my eye when your dad turned up and he saw the new workshop for the first time, you could hear the pride in his voice. I lost my dad many years ago but I still know the feeling of him saying I’d made a good job. Enjoy your time with him again now, it’s fantastic to see. 😊👍🏼
Hi! Thank you very much I really appreciate that. I couldn’t wait to show my Dad the new workshop for the first time, it’s was great. I’m glad to have caught it on camera, a few mentions they wanted to see it.
Take care.
Awesome work man!!🤘🏻 killed it with the window fab!!
Great to see you & your Da’ back. It goes without saying you’ve been missed. Even though I have sold my Mk1 Cooper S and moved back to Hotrods I’ll be staying to see your amazing project move forward & live to see a new day. You’re doing a grand job 👏👏👏👏👏
Hi! Thank you, really appreciate that 😁👍
Good to see you both back.
It look grand! Great job mate

Super team again..... Really enjoy Ur video
Bill USA I am glad to hear from you guys i missed your utube alot.I have watched every old video you have made at least 5 times each .thanks bill
Hi! Ah that’s fantastic, thanks for watching all the videos.
Cheers take care 😁👍
Top class work, great that your dad could join you, worth waiting for.
Welcome back gents.. Good episode 👏
Great to see youse back and also more cracking work.
I’ve never seen Mk1 quarter lights without piano hinges though
Hi! Thank you very much 😎👍 yeah the windows are Mk2 windows without the piano hinge, same size etc as Mk1’s though. We’ll hopefully pick up some Mk1’s at some point with the piano 👍
About bloody time too. I've been getting withdrawal symptoms!
Hi Pops 👋🏻 Great seeing you in good health 👍🏻 Welcome come back UP build and your new workshop looks absolutely fantastic 😀 Your skills are still as sharp as ever 🤣 I’m one happy chappie that you’re back. Cheers Stevie 😎
Nice work sir
Hi. Nice to see you again. I saw you using the tool to undo your angle grinder to change the disc. Im constantly changing mine, but i found by accident that since the "nut is self tightening you can " hand" tighten it by tightening the disc once the nut has "grabbed". It never slips and then when you want to change the disc dont use the tool, just unwind the disc itself, even the cutoff discs that are ground down will loosen. Just a tip you might like to try to save you some time and never need to use the tool again.
Great work 👍
Great update, you are doing an amazing job. Loved seeing your Dad’s reaction to the shop update. So happy that you can work together again. 👍
Hi! Cheers 👍 yeah a few people requested seeing Dad’s reaction.
Great to see you again, dad too; he looked proper made up for you and your new shed. Thanks for the vid.
well done guys, takes me back to when I was your age working on minis, finally got tired of chasing rust and trying to make a silk purse, restorations take a long time and when you've also got to earn a living there aren't enough hours in a day, ask your dad, finally you get tired, fortunately you guys can still work together, cherish this time. 😊😉👍
We've missed you mate, Dad looks well, and was impressed with the workshop, crack on!
Get yourself some foam filled tyres for your spit. Great job 👍 I use them on my kart trolley. No issues with flats lol love the channel by the way keep er lit
Great to see you back, was about to ask where Dad was and he appeared great videos x x x
Looking really good, car's not bad neither😀
Glad to see your dad back,he’s a proper star 👍

Brilliant to see you and your Dad back. We’ve missed you!

Glad to see u back been waiting for this so nice to see u and ur dad
Dad is back!!! I really missed him!!!
I join you in this episode. It's been one of the most enjoyable video iv watched for some time. Keep up the good work. Liked and subscribed.
Hi! Thank you very much, really appreciate that 😁👍 and thank you for subscribing 👍👍
What a great video really enjoyed this.
I am very impressed by this project. Great dedication to detail and massive effort!
Make sure thought that you don't forget to fill the splices, ideally with welding. Where the fwd and aft sidepanels joins at the upper and lower aft door radius. As the the sidepanels on a Mk1 & 2 is a one piece pressing rather than the Mk3 onwards two piece.
Greetings from Sweden / Keep up the good work!
You certainly like a challenge, nice job done, good to see you and your dad back on . Just a word of caution careful with the gas blower carbon monoxide soon catches you out . Plenty of ventilation needed .
Hi! Cheers thank you 👍👍 good point on the ventilation, will keep an eye on that 👍
Where have you been, great to see you back, and great to see your fathers face when he saw for the first time, the size of your workshop.
Father & son, special times, nice to see.
Garage looks great , glad you got the rear screen.. 👍🏻
GREAT to see your Dad’s reaction to your shed makeover! Love from Down Under 👍🇦🇺😎
Finally a new chapter, thanks to you and your father
Hi! thank you for watching 😁👍
Welcome back! Watching you create parts using card/masking tape and a hammer reminds me of creating gaskets of gasket paper and thin cork sheets.
Fantastic to see Father and son back together.. been waiting so long to see ya again but we'll worth the wait amazing engineering such a great build ..well done lads
Love the rear windows and how they open.
I can remember being able to open both the rear windows from the driver's seat. Perfect for getting some airflow without too much noise.
I have them on my 1991 Land Cruiser but I have to get out and open them through the back doors, so not as convenient but I always think of my beloved Mini when I open them.
Top work as usual. Your Dad was over the moon with the workshop, all the good men love a workshop.
I think we all were wondering where you had gone. I know I've missed your regular updates.
Great attention to detail again. 👏. Nice to see your dad's in good health.
Hi! Ah that’s great thank you very much 👍👍
Nice done 👍
Bentornato assieme al tuo papà!
Incredible Job, every corner restoring. I've been watching every episode. Saludos desde Perú 🇵🇪
Grand job there
