Reminds me of my dad,I’d do all the work and he would say we done this,but it didn’t bother me just having him around was great,I’m really enjoying these videos
Ifor Williams really is the last word in trailers. Bagged a nice bit of kit there.
So good to see the legend back. Bring on the next episode
Welcome back, Dad!
Great to see your dad back
So pleased to see your father back and looking so well.

Evening Guys. Absolutely fantastic seeing your dad so happy 😀 Great investment the Ifor William’s car trailer 👍🏻 Love this mini rebuild 😂
Love watching you two working on this mini. Can’t be anymore British with a proper mini. Looking forward to more episodes and seeing he mini bodywork finished. Keep it going guys. The trailer is great. I rebuilt a trailer that was originally built by my grandad.
Clad to see your dad back
Just looking around ur shed and like me u have such wide and varied number of tools. Think if the money it would take to buy them these days. Love the relationship u have with ur father. If me and my son have the same relationship when he grows up a little I will be a happy man. It’s what it’s all about
Nice to see your dad back not been the same in the last few videos keep the good videos coming on the mark 1 mini 👊👊
Good to see dad back now as mine would say get back to it 😀
Good to see your dad is back and feeling fit 😀
The dynamic duo 💪💪💪 I'm looking forward to seeing you build your sandblasting area
Great job guys glad your pops is back and the car is looking good.
Great job, good to see Dad back. Cant believe that you drink Budweiser 🤪I really miss English beer over here ( USA)
Love the trailer, great choice.
Great to see the boss man back to keep a eye on you bro🤗
Thumbs up to seeing you both back together again 😊. The trailer will certainly be a good used tool 😊. Getting exciting now as you begin to get to the cosmetic part of the build
Glad to see the progress Bill USA
Dad is back! This is the news I'm here for! The rest of the video is a bonus!
Hi nice to see Jim back he seems to be in good form. Heading towards the finish line now as far as the shell is concerned with the application of paint shortly.
Take Care Stay Safe Everyone Regards Dave 👍😎🏴
Yay Dad's back :-) Cracking job
Great see your dad bk love new trailer great work 👍 👍
trailers are a god send for shifting anything , not just motors , can wait for the media blasting to begin , I don't think the shell will fit in the greenhouse though ha ha ha oh and good to see Jim back on the firm!
Great stuff guys 👍👍
Good to see ya old man back in the team 👍👍👍
My first car was a 1959 mini with a crash gearbox, was 17 at the time, (67 now), great learning experience as I learned to drive a bus with a crash box, waltzed through it lol.
Great Job !!! Thanks for sharing... Thumbs Up 👍👍👍
Great progress lads, love the trailer. Looking forward to seeing the blasting booth being built.👍
Using the trailer to haul a load of wobble-pops was brilliant. Glad to see your Dad back working with you.
Looking good, well done.
Great building
The dynamic duo back in action, smart trailer put to good use bringing essential supplies .
Glad to see the duo are back and in your words “Brilliant, Fantastic. Another great video and you’re getting so near to doing the blasting. Keep up the great work. Thumbs up from me 👍
Another cracking video..lovely to see ya dad...love the content ..keep it up..😊😊😊
You guys are making the most of the journey good stuff, the car is cool to.
good to see your dad back mini is coming on well some good tips keep it up
G'day,
Great video. And what an awesome trailer. I remember when I purchased my first trailer it was a game changer.
So a 3/4 of a step forward so your getting closer.
Owe and so glad to see dad back . Someone's gotta help you drink that beer 🍺.
So thankyou for sharing its always fun viewing your build.
✌️ from Melbourne Australia.
that trailer is really cool. congratulations lads!
Fantastic!
Love the way you work!
Surely a Mini Sprint Conversion is only two steps away from the Mk I conversion!
It is so great to see Father & son working together, it's a bond & memories made!
I really enjoy each & every episode you guys put out!
Keep up the good work on the channel.
That trailor is amazing, all singing! Being without car transport is really limiting. One of the reasons I've decided to DIY paint as paying for transport twice and trusting someone else not to dent it in transport is difficult and expensive
Brilliant! Best bishes from Perú 🇵🇪
Thanks for another great video
Amazing job
Never realized there were so many differences in the Mk 1, Mk 2, and Mk 3 Minis. And I have owned one of each. Fantastic series. I've learned so much....
Great to see dad at it again. That trailers awesome. Might need to borrow it sometime 😂
This mini sure is t going to rust anytime soon. Great work as always
Just love this 😎😎
Fantastic, crack on😉😉
Great to see your Dad back up to speed. I share your trailer excitement, that was a lovely bit of trailer porn 😊
Great episode, raising a Bishop's Finger to you both from Wideopen, getting to "one colour" stage so soon is amazing. Bad Obsession Motorsport would still be fabricating brackets for Binky and getting the funk out by now😄
Great to see the big man back - seems proper pleased to be back himself, too.
Another very good episode. Keep them coming.
Thanks for letting us share.
Another great episode the mini is looking great. So nice to see your dad back. The new trailer will now mean you can do all your own shifting and relocating of the shell and eventually transport the completed mini around. Love it that your dad can fore fill some of his bucket list items. Thank you guys wonderful work. Take care.
Nice to see your dad is back in action, the two of you are doing a really nice job on the Mini looks like it will be better then the factory lol...
Love the content you pair are perfectionists, glad you are putting the trailer to good use🥃Keep the good work up
Hi Mark, can I ask you a trailer related question? How do double axle trailers take corners, do they act weird or am I overthinking the physics?
Hi Graham I used to drive a transit with a double axle trailer, when it had a good amount of weight on it responded differently to when empty, I found the transit hard to reverse with, I then got a open back land rover and found it was a lot better to use .
Hi Mark, nice to see your Dad back and the "pop" delivery trailer in use, that's it's main use of course but spooky you can also fit a Mini(or 3) on it too! All the best
I really enjoy your videos. Was that Old Speckled Hen. Lovely
Save all the Welsh people sending out "the heavy mob" in welsh the F is like a V in English so it is pronounced "Ivor"
Keep on Trucking you are doing a great job well done Dad
Glad I meant
Just found your channel lads and really enjoy what you do . Sounds like your from my neck of the woods as well (north east ) . Keep it up and can't wait to see the finished mini .
Another great video from you guys, can't wait to see the next one. Keep them coming.
Had a mk1 1963 reg mk 42 I had loads of fun it was British racing green/white roof
Hello Guys ! Great to see your dad back on form and that trailer is the dogs! ( make sure it's insured , the're a very popular item on the black market ! ) And the mini's looking very nice indeed . I've said in the past your work would shame many so called professionals and l've no reason to change my opinion . Well done to you both .
I really enjoy these videos. I'm a huge Mini fan, currently got my 96 SPi shell on its side doing the floor. Weirdly, I stumbled across you whilst looking for ideas to build a lean-to garage at home and YT recommended your garage extension video. I liked the Mini content so stuck around and ended up subscribing. Keep up the good work guys :)
Great episode again! Good to see Dad back again too. So is the new toy a 'Boozemobile' or a 'Budmobile'?
Great videos as usual. Great to see your dad back. What a team. The car is looking great and a testament to the massive amount of work you have both done to reach this point. Cheers
Great to see you both are having a fun time.
It's motivating me to get on with mine!
Now I will not have to spray stuff with epoxy on unseen panel etc.
Just paint it with a brush, genius.
Thanks!
Not too sure about your choice of beer 😋
Hi ive got a 1972 mini van converted into a six wheeler 40 years ago it's on gumtree
This has been a proper labour of love story can’t wait to see final product what’s plans for it keep it or sell it when done
Hi! Well originally the plan was to sell it to release the funds to carry on with another project but I think we’ve decided we’ll be keeping it if we can.
@@upbuild4397 would be such a shame to sell this one after both of your hard work should be your show piece for next one
Glad you both back at it, builds looking great. Can I ask what type of head torch you used in this episode
Good to see your dad back and great video.
Any thoughts on colour for the shell?
Good to see The up built Team is back to 100!% :) I was wondering, are you going to use a flip front on the Mini, or is it because the front that has to come on, is completly new anyway? Are you sandblasting and put primer on this front + left and right wing before spotwelding it to the mini? I Just finished all the welding on my Mini MK4 and know how much work it al takes. Good to see you don't make concessions due to the fakt that your almost there to sandblast and prime it, but take all the effort to get a "real" mk1! Looking forward for the next episode! Greetings from the Netherlands!
Great content as usual glad to see dad back. Can I ask what brand of rust killer you use? Keep up the good work👍🏻
You strapped down the wrong kind of Beverage. It should have been the Spitfire and avoid an Insecure Load fine and points on your Licence, or possible imprisonment, the Bud would be fine to leave it lose.
Will you be fitting winch to the Trailer to make it easier to load and unload cars safely when they can't do it under there own steam?
Is this episode the last you did because I can't find anything later than this. I am really interested in seeing this series to its conclusion. Cheers Gil Beecheno, Australia.
Please get a good locke for the trailer 🔐
Brilliant as ever - and how you remain so cheery throughout such a lengthy project is amazing !
Do you find wire brush is best for surface corrosion ? - I sometimes find it just burnishes the rust !
Also, have ever tried Bilt Hamber weld through primer ? I wonder if that could work out even better than using the masking tape.
💙👊😎💙👊😎
We are in the process of buying a trailer too, great to see Dad back and enjoying the work, fantastic so far well done to you both
Mate, not only are you a high class engineer but I’ve realised you’re a pretty good media producer too! Great to see Dad back, it’s lovely to see you enjoying time together doing something stimulating and positive. I love these videos! Keep them coming! BTW are using the Hammerite Kurust product?
Ah high praise, I appreciate it a lot, thank you. Yeah we used kurust in the video.
Cheers
Mark
@@upbuild4397 thanks Mark I recognised the colour! I’ve been using it too on both my Mini and my E30 M3. It’s seems to be good stuff!
What are your plans when project is finished, sale or keep it 🤔
Are you doing this project to keep the car or are you planning to sell it at the end.
Great video, I have a question, the hood of a MK3 is compatible with a MK1? I live in Chile and the spare parts are too expensive and scarce for MK1 version
Hi. The mk3 has an extra lip on the front edge of the bonnet to hold the chrome piece for the mk3 grill and the hinges are in a different location on a mk3 but if you don’t mind a little bit of work a mk3 bonnet could be fairly easily converted to fit a mk1.
Total newbee question....what is the purpose of changing the cant rails??? is it just to be mk1 correct ?? or is it to match upto the smaller windows ??? great videos
It needs to be changed so that the mk1 headlining fits properly and also as you say so that it comes down to the smaller mk1 windows.
Cheers
Mark
@@upbuild4397 Thanks for the reply ...keep up the good work you 2 love the channel
What is you occupation please is it vehicle based🤔
👏👍👌🇬🇧🍻🍺
Can I ask a question? Is there a benefit to using the epoxy primer over a weld through primer?
Hi, the weld through/ Zinc primer is mainly used when welding, if you’re going to need to weld that area, the weld through primer helps with the smooth welding and not to much spatter due to the Zinc content. The Epoxy primer is used to seal the area beneath, the Epoxy primer is not porous, so prevents the water or dampness getting through to the metal.
Does that make sense?
Hope this helps.
DID YOU REALLY HAVE TO CHANGE OUT THE CANT RAILS ? OR ARE YOU TRYING TO GET IT AS CLOSE TO A MK 1 AS POSSIBLE
Hi. They needed to be changed so that the mk1 headlining fits properly and also so that the Cant rail comes down to the smaller mk1 windows.
Cheers
Mark
I'm sorry it is NOT acceptable to put budwieser mouthwash next to a much more superior Old Speckled Hen (my Favorite) : )
😂😂
Hello guys, you're doing a great job as always !!
I draw / design greeting cards, featuring Mini's, and I'd appreciate you all sharing these with your fellow Mini fanatics too !!
Just click on my user name, go to the 'about' me tab and click on the 'Retro Cards' link - Thanks in advance....
Waiting. For next. Video ?.
I've been wondering for the last few episodes whether a full roof transplant from the rotten Mk 1 shell would have been any easier? If you'd come a few inches down each pillar, you'd have saved yourself all the trouble of shrinking the door and window gaps etc.
Hi. That would definitely save a lot of fabricating the sections to lower the roofline but the whole of the side panel is different on a mk1/mk2 Mini including the A and B pillars and the quarter panel is also longer. Probably the thing to do would be to unpick the whole side panel of the mk1/mk2 Mini as I’ve done with the cant rails and replace the mk4 side panel with this. This project was started long before we acquired the mk1 shell.
Hope this makes sense.
Cheers
Mark
Do,nt forget the rear seat panel, it would be a shame not to make the shell as near to the MK1 that you can, after all your hard work on the rest of the shell, having a seat panel in the spare shell should make it easy.. Anyone in the know will just open the boot lid and be able to tell it,s not a original MK 1. Steve
you talk way to fast for us yanks love the work tho
