      ​@@jason3898once you've owned a rusty old car and had to pay someone to weld it multiple times, the motivation for keeping the road dirt off the paint and metal is all you need to clean it. Washing a car is still boring though. And it only gets dirty again.

    Nice mini. Spent my youth watching these, though my dad was a Midget and Sprite guy, at the racetracks of north east USA. Today, I'm the chairman of a large old MG Car Club in New York, and many of our members have minis of all shapes and sizes, pickup trucks, vans, wagons like yours, and some Cooper S's too. There's even a few with the steering on the wrong side like yours!

    When using a caulk gun for the sealant, instead of making beads and pulling away go the other direction. Push the nozzle into the sealant, not only will this push it into the crack so you dont have to do it with your hand like in this vid, but it naturally produces a really nice flush finish.

    When I rebuilt an old 1968 Ford Torino GT that I got for $50 usd was from NY so had so much rust under the car that I literally had to do like you did and replace the whole under carriage only I had to fabricate it myself. I did like you and put the protective paint but a friend of mine does the truck bed protectors and offered to spray the coating under the car. Was the best investment ever. The engine that I had rebuilt I had as black high temp engine paint then anything that attached to that was Ford Red and anything on the red was chrome. Car looked amazing and sold it for 12K I did not make much of a profit as the engine and transmission even though needed to be rebuilt was stupid expensive.

    Great work but JEEEEZ dude, put the guard back onto the angle grinder when using cutting/slitting disks unless you want a horrific facial injury. Google "grinder accidents" to see why.
    Some lovely welding going on. Ref the square that you welded onto the wheel tub area with the hole cut out, you might want to check out Fitzee's Fabrications channel on YT for his "Butt welding sheet metal the easy way." where he demonstrates his famous cut-n-butt method. He tacks the new patch on, then cuts along the edge with the angle grinder at a 45 degree angle, so that the new and the old panel meet at well, 45 degrees for a perfect flush finish.

    I'm generally a very anti car guy, I've used a bicycle for transport for most of my adult life and moved to a city where public transport meant I could even let go of my van.
    But minis are special. Mini is a historical design marvel! My aunt's first car was a 66 mini, her second was a 68 Mini Cooper S. So I had the coolest aunt on the road. And Mini has always held a special place in my heart Isignolis was a fing genius! A car that takes up barely the space of 2 bicycles but could carry 4 people and run on the smell of an oily rag, even beat V8s in races on tracks like Australia's Mount Panorama circuit.
    A rusty mini is a tale of survival and you are Victor Frankenstein keeping a piece of social history alive for the kids (and your passion, too obviously.)

      @ an experience I've always found tedious and sometimes, frankly, risky AF around some of the idiots out there. Not to mention, the minimum average cost of car ownership in Australia is $10000/year (NRMA figure), if I were an "N+1" bike nut, I could have a brand new, custom built bike every year for that money. Instead, by not owning a car, I can afford my home studio, a decent hobbyist workshop and a house in a nice street, all on my retirement fund income.

    When your favourite music channel morphs into your new favourite car channel: "A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one." IMO leave it black with visible black paint on side. It'll add to look of old car that was repaired, but not very well. Worst case: You can always respray it later.

    I can't help paraphrasing Baz Luhrman here:
    "An old car is a form of nostalgia. Restoring it is a way of fishing the past
    from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts
    and recycling it for more than it's worth - but trust me on the sunscreen."

    Fair play. I was happy fitting a head replacement on my 1275GT but bodywork went to a learned mate.

      when I was 18 years of age we did own a 1960s Mini-CopperS
      mega flanged guards
      original wheels done very tidy black center brushed aluminum edge of the dish, chrome nuts with appropriately very wide tyres to fill out the wheel arches
      British Racing Green Paint Colour
      "Black Vinyl Roof with A Elephant Skin style finish" super supple when new lovely to touch extremely durable
      we had the original wooden steering wheel hi-gloss + dashboard & glove box cut from on peice of wood hi-gloss
      long range extra petrol tank with the floor lever to swap to the reserve
      heater levers on dash to have warmer than toast tootsies
      tap floor foot hi-beam lights noby switch
      and the magical push button prime water windscreen water squirter washers
      she went took corner as hard as you like flipping through the four speeds jumping found it was better to take off in second to jump into third before bearing every other car to the next set of red stop lights basically a two speed that way other drivers don't expect your going to wind-out so fast before taking off in third
      we are in Australia so we drive on the same side of the road as you Poms

      interesting reading Miles per gallon (US) to l/100km Conversion Table / 25 mpg is 9.4 l/100km
      copy paste
      An October 1965 registered car could have been manufactured as a single-tank car.
      The twin tanks were not homologated in time for the 1966 Monte-Carlo Rally and twin tank homologation didn't happen until about March '66 (that's from memory) and one might guess that twin-tank production would have started in late 1965.
      If the OP's car was made in, say, mid-'65 it could have sat at a dealers for a month or so before 1st registration. It is right 'on the cusp' of twin tank production. A Heritage Certificate will give the actual production date and it may be possible to identify the date of first twin-tank manufacture.
      However, twin tanks are desirable in a genuine 'S' due to the high fuel consumption of around 25 mpg if driven as an 'S' was intended to be driven.

      two separate rear tanks we had in our 60s Mini-CopperS was built in behind the rear guards.
      each tank with its own key lockable petrol cap seen on each side of the vehicle and need to be filled independently to fill.
