- In this Classic Mini Mk1 Conversion episode we show how to remove a Mni inner wing ready to receive the new heritage Mk1 panel. This is the first step in the Mini Mk1 conversion to house the Mini Mk1 doors with external hinges. We also fabricate and fit a small new repair panel on the rear or the Classic Mini.
Huge thank you for watching.

Great stuff, it's really coming on now. You are so fortunate to still have your Dad around and do stuff together, cherish the time.
Hi! Thank you 👍👍 Yeah it’s great been able to work together, really appreciate it.
Very impressive how you managed to make that step and curve all by hand. Thanks for showing me how.
"I'm not a welder like"..
Are you joking? In my time I've been in countless body shops and vehicle restoration businesses and in most cases, your skill set and attention to detail stands head and shoulders above all but a few professional outfits. Absolutely loving this series of vlogs and your relationship with your Dad is golden and enviable...
Thank you.
I agree 💯%
@@RomfordGuy Me too. These guys are doing a great job. I'd love to jump on a plane and visit them.....
Yes! spot on that guy, great work here
Hi! Ah wow! massive thank you for that 👍👍 We’ve managed to get quite a good bit of practice in on this Mini shell haha, really enjoyed it too.
MIG welding outside can be a real problem, even the lightest breeze can blow away your gas . For a self taught amatuer your doing really great.
Hi! Thank you very much 👍👍 I’ve definitely got a bit of practice in on this Mini haha!
Bill here USA .Good to see a new video.i learn something new every time i watch.You and your Dad do good work in a 1 car garage and basic tools i would watch you than wheeler dealer that says a lot about your restore.thanks again you make my day bill
Hi! That’s awesome, high praise thank you 😀👍 mind in do like an episode of Wheeler Dealers, definitely one of the great TV programs. It’s also one of Dad’s favourites too. Thanks again 👍👍
Nice to see old mini being installed
Great recap Mark, shows how much work has gone into it so far, nice camera work by the missus! hope to see your dad back soon, you'll have to keep him busy to keep him out of mischief! all the best
Happy 80th birthday Dad, thanks for the welder settings it was a great help thumbs up....
Hi! Thank you 👍👍 Not a problem 👍
This is a great weekend for me. Arsenal win the FA Cup. And then I see a new episode of Upbuild.
80 years old the previous week. How brilliant is that. Still going strong. Keeping the body and mind active is what it’s all about.
I really wish my old dad was still about. Asbestos related cancer took him five years ago.
Love what you manage to do between you 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks for showing those settings - very handy!! Mini is looking ace!
Wonderful watching the 2 of you bringing this car back to life!
Excellent workmanship lads keep videos coming 👍🤜🤛💪
It's always plesent to watch you both. Very informative and always looks great. No tea! So can only score you 9 out of 10. 😜😂🤣👍
Hi! Thank you 👍👍 haha! we’ll make up for it in the next one with a few cuppas 😀
Another great update, love the spot weld drill and the welding information. See you next time. Keep well keep safe!
Great work Fella's from Down Under !! Melbourne Australia
Melbourne! You poor bugger. Bad times for you guys down there. What a mad world...
Hi! Thank you very much 👍👍 sorry to hear about the situation over there at the moment buddy, take care stay safe.
If only I had the space to carry out a restoration , yours would be the vlogs to refer to, excellent work
Hi! Ah really appreciate that thank you 👍👍
Great job Gents , but no guard on the grinder makes me shudder.
It's always a good idea to weld brace the door openings before you start , once the main cutting starts the body alignment can easily go walkabout .
Hey guys Kevin here from Australia. I love your work. Every video its just great.
It's also great to see you and your dad working as mates i bet you two bring back a lot of memories for viewers you certainly do for me.
Anyhoo stay safe and stay well . I'll see you in the next one.
✌ Peace guys.
Hi! Ah really appreciate that thank you 👍👍
Well done lads, keep up the good work.👍
Coming along nicely lads, very interesting
I am sure every bit you do lifts your dad's spirit that it will get finished.
The back end looks really good, looking forward to the Mini face at the front.
Yeah, he’s quite excited seeing it taking shape 😄. Really looking forward to seeing the front end on.
@@upbuild4397 Keep going. The classic Mini has a soul like no other car.
For those of us who drove them as young men, they mean so much.
When you dad starts driving it, he will appear 40 years younger.
I subscribed after of one your first videos when you were assessing the rust in the Mini's shell. Hard to believe that was less than a year ago when you look at your progress and the way the channel is building a following. Great too to see you and your Dad getting used to presenting. Thumbs up!
Hi! Ah that fantastic, you been with us since the beginning then 👍👍 It’s amazing that it’s almost a year, time has flown over, plus we lost about 3 months over the beginning of lockdown. Really looking forward to the point of lowering it off the jig and seeing it on some wheels sat on the ground.
Good to here the detail in this episode. For someone like myself who knows nothing about welding it’s very interesting. Cheers
Hi! Thank you, ah that great you like the extra bits of detail on the welding 👍👍
That’s a great repair to the rear screen panel.
Hi! Thank you 👍👍
Again super job great repair your Dad is a dab hand with the old Kurust and much more at ease in front of the camera. Make the most of these moments together it’s a joy to watch you both. Take Care Stay Safe Regards Dave
Hi! Thank you 👍👍 Yeah Dad’s definitely get more use to the camera, it’s great 😀. Take car, Cheers.
Hi guys 👍🏻 Really good content with just enough too keep your juices flowing 🤣 Have a good week looking forward to seeing your next episode 😆 Cheers Stevie 😎
Another great teamwork episode. Thanks, keep em coming.
Very entertaining
I am in the final stages of a Puma restoration. Seeing this welding has made me look again at mine. I will redo it properly, hopefully without needing filler!
Hi! Ah thank you, I definitely feel as though I’ve learned a lot on the welding with this Mini, just been really methodical cleaning the surface and taking my time. Love the Puma, great fun car 👍👍
Already looking forward to the next episode
I was truly surprised that you are not a professionak welder, your workmanship is so meticulous. I was however disappointed to see a corn flakes packet rather than a pizza box as a template lol.
Amazing work!!!
:-)
Hi thank you 👍👍 Hahaha! I’ll do better! more pizza CAD noted 👍👍
Most folks would have clacked a bit of P38 on that window surround and called it a day :)
Nice to see it done properly, your standard of workmanship is inspiring. Every day a little closer..
Hi! Ah thank you 👍👍 yeah it does feel good getting all the smaller but like that rear window repair ticked off the list 😀.
A finger sander and anglegrinder is a quick method for removing rusted spotwelded scrap panels without disturbing the metal underneath with a chisel
Hi! Ah thanks for the tips 👍👍 finger sander added to the list haha 👍
As always, brilliant work.. You wont need a lot of filler, (if any), to finish the lower rear screen aperture. Looking forward to seeing progress on the nearside inner wing.. Many thanks for explaining the welder settings. I know a lot of beginners struggle with this..I always preferred 0.6 wire. .. Loved your Dad's school metalwork class punch..
Hi! Thank you 👍👍 Yeah we’re itching to get on with it. There’s been a bit of holdup with the part but hopefully we’ll have the part tomorrow.
my first car classic mini 87 past my test i had mini clubman brown interier and mustard coloured paint o and rust isssues like the one you are rebuilding well done keep up the great work and keeping classic minis alive.
Hi! That’s fantastic, thank you very much 👍👍
Another great video
Top work boys nice to see you two working together
great video keep em coming lads.
I'm thinking that there is only going to be about 15 % of the original car left, great job gents.
Haha! I know, not much left of the original shell, probably just the roof and the bulkhead mainly. Cheers 👍👍
Matching Numbers + Factory Air in the tyres.... Keep 'em Guessing lol ;
Another great video. Thanks for the update.
Just watched some of your earlier videos and I see you got the mini from just up the road from me.
Hopefully it will inspire me to get on with mine.
Hi! ah that nice to hear someone local 👍👍
Hi guys, hope your Dad is on wages now . It's coming together nicely , nice bit of wilding, just try and get a little bit more of a flow instead of spotting. I know it's was only a small wilding job . Great video and job first class 10/10👍✌️🎥
Hi! Thank you 👍👍
Spot welding to try and eliminate heat distortion to the panel.. Continuous welding would generate too much heat
@@becko1969 I know about heat distribution, I wasn't on about a continuous wild, because it would end up like a banana. ✌️
Thanks for the video. . great work
Love the concept of turning it into a mk1 look alike and your attention to detail. I know how your Dad feels about his centre punch. I still have all the tools I made as a first year apprentice in the early sixties. To size to half a thousands of an inch , parallel and square or you started again.With my name engraved in them.
Thank you 👍👍 That’s great, some of the old tools are the best, good and sold.
Great video as always, excellent welding, good tool tips and brilliant that your dad still his his metal punch from his school days!
Hi! Thank you very much 👍👍
Great work lads
Cheers 👍👍
Great video mate its cumin on can't wait for nx wk
As always gents a great video. Fantastic metal working skills. Looking forward to the upcoming videos. Lawrence from Heathrow.
Hi Lawrence, thank you very much, really appreciate that 👍👍
Nice
Great work guys
Hi! That great thanks 👍👍
Hello everybody
Really great work .... as always a nice video 👍👍👍... I just like your channel great .... greetings from Germany 🇩🇪 👋👋👋 Kai
Hi! Thank you for watching, really appreciate your comments too 👍👍
Awesome job guys, it was great to see the information on the welder settings !!!
Nice work guys👍
Hi! Thank you 👍👍
excelent work
Nice camera work, the clarity is excellent, also good how you had taken the time to explain your Welder and the techniques you use. Liked how you removed the inner wing keeping it clean, if you know what I mean. Good to have your Dad with you, keeping you on your toes😂😂
Hi! Ah not a problem thank you 👍👍 yeah a few asked about the welder. Yeah I know what you mean, I always like taking things apart carefully to see what can be saved, not much in this case haha.
thanks for the great content :-)
Really enjoying watching your videos. I’ve been into Minis for as long as I can remember (well over 30 years) and it still amazes me how many subtle differences there were between the Mk1 and later versions of the Mini. Loving seeing how you’re slowly transforming the later shell. Have you a finished colour scheme in mind yet?
Hi! Thank you very 👍👍 yeah it’s amazing how much little changes they made over the years. Not complete sure on colour yet but definitely an original Mk1 colour.
hi. just a quick word about your video where you said about wire thickness the thinner the wire the less volts required not suggested i'm aware that you are'nt sore bob
Yours is the channel that I look forward to the most. When you weld do you neaten up the weld on the inside of the panel?
Hi! Ah that’s great thank you 👍👍. Yeah I usually go back round them and catch up on a few altogether. I just usually go back and do it when I’m not filming, just because it quicker.
Everything new
Great job guys, do you know what colour she's getting?
Hi! Thank you 👍👍 not sure on the colour yet but definitely one of the original colours.
I’ve also got a sealed 180 supermig .. but a lot older than yours .. gives great welds even with pub gas 😂
thinking or switching to argonshield
Hi! There a great welder, works really nice on the co2/argon mix 👍👍
Pub gas? Serious?
@@alexbrown1995 yup, been using it for years.. Does give a bit of splatter but works perfectly
hi good work whats is the name of de tool ring drill you use
Nice update and progress, really like that hand forming tool and combined punch for the rebates, what gauge will it press if you don't mind me asking ? or is there an Hydraulic version for say 1mm?
Regards Russ....
Hi! Thank you 👍👍 yeah it was quite handy for this little job. I bought it of Amazon, was only £23.99. It does upto 1mm sheet steel, that was actually the thickness I used for the little repair panel in the video.
@@upbuild4397 That's a great little gadget!
@@upbuild4397
Thanks for reply, that is good to know at 1mm, I'm a repair engineer in the lift industry and we cut a lot of new push units into the car sides, will be handy for getting inside the cut to rebate for push plates plates.
Regards Russ...
The tool is a joggler, generally used to form a lip which would sit behind the panel you are welding to so you have an overlapping joint not a butt joint to have to weld. You can purchase air operated ones. The one in the video sometimes comes with a hole punch on the other side and the head rotates to use the punch.
What is the blue stuff you put on before you paint it and what is the purpose? where do you buy the stuff?
Top Vid, sounds like your up north. Do you know of any good MIG gas suppliers in north-east (Stockton/Co Durham) but not BOC?
Dixon’s, Westerhope, Newcastle.
Thank you 👍👍. There’s also Energas on the Team Valley, or Auto Panels in Birtley do the larger Hobby Gas bottles.
I’m sure earlier minis are better rust proofed than the latter ones, my rotten 67 shell is not as bad as that, and I’d say that shells not too bad for a later mini. Maybe it’s a paint thing?
Hi! Yeah I think you could be right on the paint, plus I’ve heard the quality of the metal used on later cars isn’t as good, which would contribute to the rust.
What no coffee? or was that it arriving towards the end of the video?
Haha! I think we enjoyed a beer at the end instead 👍👍
I am no engineer, but you must have replaced most of the body. Whilst i appreciate the time and care taken to do this would it not have been easier/more cost effective to get a complete new body shell?
Hi! The new shell for a Mini Mk1 is 12k so it’s a lot more expensive to do it that way. But we’re having a lot of fun doing it this way and we enjoy the challenge 👍
I think you'll find it's because they can, and as they say no fun doing it that way, it just becomes cheque book build, I didn't even realise you could buy the shell new lol, 12k wow.
Where would we be without cereal boxes?
Where in the northeast are you from lads ?
Hi! We’re in Country Durham.
