- This is my first project car and this is one year into it.

With experience on blockbuster hits like Wonder Woman II, Cruella, and Mission Impossible 8, I started in the Props department and then moved into the exciting world of Special Effects. Now an Automotive Engineering Apprentice, I hope to share my hands-on learning experiences as I navigate my journey.

Whether you're a seasoned professional or just beginning, my tutorials, tips, and project breakdowns are here to empower you to explore the world of mechanics and enjoy the satisfaction of creating and fixing things with your own hands.

I am impressed by your skills and at the same time excited that a young lady is pursuing this hobby, sharing it on social media and dressed the way she should be. Keep up the good work, I'll be checking out your channel again 👍🏻
Fantastic job!
@@rtechweldingtv Thank you so much. Really enjoying the welders 👍
Great vid! A petrol heads dream woman lol 😆.
Seriously though a inspirational woman a great role model.
Your mini could have a small turbo. I wouldn't modify it much more though except maybe a brake up grade too. Best of luck.
Well done Laura! All the great videos in one place, perfect for viewers who have been following the adventures of Paddington 😊
Thank you sy!
@ so many more adventures coming and looking forward to even more content 😌

Keep it up
Currently restoring my mini too
@@michaelfcunanan Thank you so much! Sending all my moral support. Especially if there's rust repair 😂😂
I think you should change the gearbox and change the helical gears to spur or straight cut gears and also the side gears or drop gears straight cut. The Engine cubic capacity could be increased to 1440 cc with the cylinder head port and polish with oversized intake and exhaust valves with half race camshaft with a DCOE sidedraft 45mm Webber carburetor with a Exhaust header - 3 into 1 connected to a straight out 2inch exhaust pipe
Awesome! Well done Laura
Thank you! Happy new year 😄
Absolutely love all these videos compiled together! Learned alot watching the restoration! Great job laura and keep up the fantastic work.
Thank you so much! Happy new year
Great video...I've found kroil oil is a great penetrant to help release nuts and bolts 👍
Great video 👍
Wow, Laura, just stumbled across your channel. You are doing brilliant work on your mini and will soon become a restoration legend! 😊 All the best for a brilliant project.
@alastairwilson457 Thank you Alistar! Happy New Year 🥳
Greetings from South Africa 🇿🇦. Always wonder about those Haynes manuals. In my country it’s non-returnable 🥲.
I used to work in the Haynes editorial department in Sparkford, Somerset. I almost certainly worked on the production of the Mini manual :)
That's amazing! 😮
This was perfect! You should do the same for 2025
Thank you! Happy new year 😄🥰
Just found this channel by chance. Restoring a Saab myself, but love seeing what others are up to.
Nice work, subscribing now of course!
Oh Amazing! Always love knowing how people find me. Happy new year! Good luck with the Saab
@@Lauras.workshop Thank you, and happy new year! Hope to get the bloody thing back on the road in 2025.
Just found your channel by chance. Im restoring a Pontiac Trans Am at the moment with about 90% more rust than the Mini 😂 great channel and keep going. You'll get there eventually. 👍
That's very cool. Thank you. I appreciate the encouragement 😂🎉 going to need it! But now the rust work is almost done. It's getting near the exciting part
So brave ❤...I hate minis with a passion.... abandon the project and would restore a Ford Anglia like the one in Harry potter 😂
😊❤️🌟👍
7:53 😂😂Every Mini enthusiast has been telling themselves that for over half a century!
Just subbed! Great quality videos!
Thank you! Happy new year 😄🤩
How about a mask when powder coating? 😎
Laura, how about a face mask, or am i missing something?
I stopped listening after I heard ""stripping""" 😅😅😅
15 minutes episodes could be more informative...
I was with you till you mispronounced "lee-verage" as "lev-erage"
It's a British car, being worked on by an Englishwoman, not an American car...
