    The Morris Minor and the Stratos are in my never humble opinion the most beautiful builds you have done.

    Definitely looks like a Morris😂. Absolutely brilliant seeing all the individual weekly progress stitched together like this. Brings out the amazing breadth of skills that you and your team have and continue to develop. Education certainly doesn't stop when you leave school!! Certainly something somewhere planted some pretty vigorous seeds in those early years.

    Love all you builds but my favourite by far is the Murray escort. I might be biased because I used to own a twin cam identical to the Murray escort. Loved driving it especially as it was a lot more powerful then the standard car.

    Yes I love all the builds but as a young petrol head dating right back to 1970 I can’t get past the utter beauty of the two Mk1 Escorts 😍😍😍😍😍

    What is it like for you to go back in time? When you see all the projects in the background, the workshop is still in its old form.

    I've been watching since Gordon's Escort and never missed an Uncut episode. It's fascinating looking back... seeing the Camaro and Mustang in the background there too. And how the workshop has progressed and improved. Keep up the amazing work fellas.

    I had a morris minor back in the late 70s and was going to put running gear from a 1500cc nissan in the car but never got around to it,would have made it a great driver with a 5 speed manual😊

    This is one of several custom builds (including Retropwer"s V12 E-type) I've watched that used Mazda seats and mounts. In every one of them,the peculiarities of the mounts have given the builders grief in various ways.

    I've loved watching the Morris build, it has been my favourite by far of your stupendous vision, skill and craftsmanship. What a perfect example of a sympathetic construct and a marriage of old aesthetics and top of the range modern engineering. I'd love to see it out on the road being put through its paces sometime. Keep up the good work mateys. ❤

    Very nice. I’m glad you’re separating the Morris in to it’s own segment. It was a a very nice build. As you say, I’m pleased you kind of kept its traditional shape 🙂.

    Hey folks, long time follower and fan. Just my $0.02, the content is great, but the breaks denoting the different weeks are a little jarring. Maybe a fade in and out with a graphic on the screen would be smoother?

      @uliwehner 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      not sure i agree, just look how week 3 of the build was about 5 minutes in..... unless you want to look at a few hundred 1 minute shorts, it really makes no sense to do an ongoing build thread. Doing a build video AFTER everything is done does make sense. This is what this is. But then you have to deal with the whining of "what happened to the minor"? i like the videos that show just how the builds take a year or more. and why.

  • @johnbriggs3916

    The real problem is that this project started before Uncut Episode 1, so we don't see the actual beginning of it.
