- In this Classic Mini Mk1 Conversion episode we make a temporary sandblasting booth to sandblast our 1960‘s classic Mini mk1 doors. As expected from doors this old they are a little rusty. We also set up a temporary spray paint booth and give them a coat of paint after building them all back up and fitting them to the car.
We couldn‘t resist trying the red wheels, but unfortunately there’re about 4 inches to big sadly🤦🏻♂️ Haha!
So let’s crack on, I hope you enjoy the episode
Huge thank you for watching.

What I wouldn't give to have one more day with my DAD.
Brilliant video. Well worth the wait
Cheers
Nice update guys 👍
When you said I've got a Dad....Loved it.
Excellent to see your father passing on his skills, so nice to see a father son project. Great idea using Tigerseal for the door skin 👍
Really appreciate sharing your work which is always at a high level. I used to work with my dad on his cars and had a few disagreements! And how are you going to get the shell into the greenhouse for blasting!
We have our disagreement too, I just don’t film them haha! Guna need a bigger Greenhouse 🤣

Great to see you both enjoying this project and loving the improvised sandblast room(greenhouse).
Hi
@@ximenaemery6964 hi there
@@carlmorrey5410 How are you?
Fabulous to see Dad being so handy with the hammer and dolly
Hi
Just imagine how many more minis would be around today if they had used a bit of sealant when they put them together in the factory instead of sprinkling rust seeds through the cars. Great job lads and great to see you back at it Dad.
I'm definitely a new subscriber 😎❤️❤️👍👍👍👍👍
Brilliant work as usual lad's keep it up 👍👍👍
Intergenerational skill sets on display here... Father and Son rebuilding a Mini as it should have been done decades ago ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 🇬🇧
Thumbs up from me 👍🏻.. that tiger seal is a bugger to get off ... sticks to everything 😂
That's coming along canny, Good to see you found a better use of the greenhouse than growing plants.
Do I want to pop out for a pint? Not for another 26 minutes, 36 seconds!
You’re too kind 😁👍
New subscriber from Australia 👍🏼👍🏼
I have to play it at .75 to understand your english. Can you put close captions on the screen to translate to Canadian English?
brilliant job there only when you primer bare metal you should use a etch primer first but stiil a good job atb
She is coming on strong, well done👍
Quite brilliant. I’m an engineer by training and I’m in awe of the fabrication skills. I love it - especially the dolly work by Dad. That is the best part for me - Dad and Son and working together on their project. Tiger seal is a good move too. BTW - where do you get your plastic sheeting from to form the spray booth? Oh and also quick fit fittings on the air line? My use of old duvet covers from the garage joists isn’t quite as good and I’ve just acquired a compressor. Thank you again and bring in the next instalment!
Poly sheet is available from most paint factors.
Ah wow! high praise, thank you 😁👍 I got the dust sheeting for the local hardware store and the airline was just a cheap one can get off Amazon.
Cheers
Mark.
Молодцы, как всегда все аккуратно и щепетильно.

Cut 1cm off the tube nozzle at 45 degrees. Much easier to get a flat continuous straight line. I install garage doors at often have to do this between pvc and metal where they meet.
Cheers for the tip 😁👍
great work as usual. crack on ha !
Wow that's a shit load of blasting material, lucky bugger.
I was told and you would need to check you don't need any more than 90 psi for blasting.
I found every time I used the blaster tank like you I got shocks, so I now put a ground strap between the gun and the piece I am working on.
Wow your so mean give your dad a new rubber glove without holes :)
Haha yeah we’ve had all that media sitting there waiting to get on with blasting the shell, mind it’s all single use stuff then through it away.
Now that Project Binky is complete, I've been looking to satisfy my Mini cravings. I think I've found my new fix. Makes some brackets and get the funk out please 😁🤣
Ah wow high praise to be compared to the binky legends 😁👍
It great to see you Nd yer dad working together 👍👍👍⚒️⚒️⚒️
Your doing a fantastic job , i bought 13 minis a few years ago and restored 8 off them the rest i used for bits and sale parts . My purpose at the the time was customising ie special paintwork and interiors .They all sold at the time between 3 and 6k wish i had them now !!!!! Also had a couple off Coopers which sold for good money . Its funny people think because it a small car the work will be easy ? lol J P autos
It’s crazy how expensive they have become in the last few years, especially the more desirable models and early cars. We only paid £850 for this about 4yrs ago.
Great work guys. It's gonna look amazing when complete for sure. :)
Fantastic to see the amazing progress guys.
Really enjoy watching these. The production on the videos is top notch.
Well done. Keep them coming.
Hi
Really appreciate that thank you 👍👍
Fantastic work on the doors chaps. It would probably cost over a grand for 2 new Heritage doors. It's really taking shape now and looking the part. Are you putting a cage in it?
Thank you 😁👍 We might put a cage in just something subtle, maybe a rear classic cage.
Super team again... Really enjoy Ur video 👍👍👍👍 .... keep them coming
Did you use SOUND DEADENERS in the door panels ,and bonnet and boot lids , before you put the internal trim panels on , that was my job ,at the factory working on the track ,
Looking great guys! I di an RX3 coupe full resto way back so I know how much work is involved! Are you going to put any sound deadening on the inside of those door skins to reduce the hollow sound?
It’s been a while since I’ve seen an rx3. Yeah will definitely putsome sound proofing on the inside of the 👍
Impressive series of a classic mini conversion. I spend the whole day watching your videos from Ep 1 to Ep 45. And it was getting better and better in your video editing. As a fan of the Mk 1 Minis, I am impressed of your absolutely skilled metal working, incorporating your secret weapon which is your dad👍. A fantastic father and son project which i want to follow until your mini is finished. My deepest respect and stay healthy !!!
Cheers from Germany 🙏🧑🏼🔧
Ah wow, that’s a lot of our videos to get through in a day 😁👍 thank you for watching and your kind words it’s greatly appreciated.
Cheers
Mark.
Yes you're still doing a great job keep it up looking forward to seeing it finished 👍

Gracias y saludos.
Beautiful job on the doors, lads! Your Dad's a true gem! Get the shell either soda or walnut blasted... that way it'll not suffer from heat warping. Cheers. Leigh. PS: I'll send you pics of the progress on my Cosworth Vauxhall Viva HC on Instagram.
Enjoying working with your dad
Nice work keep up the good work; out of interest how many of them 10L bottles of argon gas you got through so far since you started the project
Hi thank you 😁👍. Had to say exactly but I think about 3 bottles maybe, but we’ve used it on other jobs and that over about 2 and a half year since we started the Mini project.
Excellent work guys. So many of our skilled trades men and woman have been lost to automation. Robots build cars now and the fine art of the English wheel, using a dolly
will be lost forever if we don't pass these skills on to the next generation.
Hi guys any chance doing a mk1 escort for your next project, cause guys go into so much detail, thanks
Definitely would love to do a mk1 escort resto, not sure we could ever afford one though.
This project Binky Brother
Another great episode Fella's - looking forward to the next one , I look forward to the greenhouse Extention build episode to fit the Mini into lol
Love your videos both keep at it
It'll be done for Christmas at this rate (2034). Good job chaps.
Great video lads your absolutely smashing this build those doors came out really well 👍
Great videos, however you need a new microphone, sounds muffled. Cheers.
Alway use filters when filling your paint pot on your spray gun mate even your primers
Good point 🤦♂️😁👍
The last time I saw one of your videos you were building the side extension so that you could start work on your project
I’ve got a lot of catching up to do I wish you both well
Cracking video guys and some great work by you both. Thanks for taking the time to make the videos.
Cheers lads, great progress.
Theres a place in Farnworth Bolton cant remember name the place but they've got most things in and metro salvage have one in the yard but dont no if they will sell it bin on top the yard for years
Great episode, fantastic work I'm really enjoying this build, love the green house blasting 😂
Cheers thank you. Yeah we thought it was a good use for the greenhouse haha 😂
Nice to see your dad back in action Mark, great work, I raised the issue of the cant rail a while back, not sure where you can get them from but if memory serves the section ove the front and rear screens was never changed and although they are curved they help capture the profle(?).The use of the Tiger seal is great and should solve any future rust issues, I personally still put the welds in as well as sealant.When Mini's where in production they used to knock seven bells out of the doors to get them to fit, brutal but effective!
Hi, yeah I’ve had a few ideas about how I could make the Cant rails myself but I’m just not 100% sure I can get the perfect finish, they need to be perfect as there’re on show as you know. Yeah I agree, I think We’ll put the welds in the doors too.
What a fantastic intro and heart warming seeing your Dad 😀 Excellent progress guys and a well deserved beer 🍺 👍🏻😎
Great video,great content. A lot of graft.
💯👍💯👍💯👍
Another great video nice to see you working together great job on the doors and explanation on the compressed air system.
Take Care Stay Safe Everyone Regards Dave 👍😎🏴
Cracking lads, well done. Best team on TH-cam.
cheers , good job lads !
Great see you and dad bk 👍
So when can you do my mini Cooper. I will send it to you if you dont want pick it up from here 😉 nar all jokes aside like in what i see so far
Just finished repairing and reskinning my land rover defender rear door so easy to do it in aluminium
Land Rover is definitely on the list of cars to have one day.
Cheers 👍
Not finished watching yet but i,ve enjoyed it so far.(main feedback tomorrow.lol)
Thanks.
Great to see someone doing things the right way 👍 old school
👍👍👍😜🏴🦕🙂🤞✌
Lovely teamwork really enjoyed the content so far 😊😀
Is it true a Saudi consortium are taking control of your channel ??
Great to watch really enjoyed it looking forward to the next episode
Wonderful job!
Great job on the door skins, I think you have done that before haven't you?
Cheers boys, another great video
Love the content, can you recommend your blaster?
Hi, apologies for delayed response. The pressure blaster is great for blasting larger items you can’t fit in a blast cabinet. Admittedly it can be a little messy and it does get blocked at times, but this is minimised by using new dry media and keeping water out of the lines. I think we might do a short episode on the blaster with some handy little tips we’ve discovered using it.
Cheers 👍
Great video as always and a well deserved drink! “Why aren’t you using a skinning tool? Because I have a Dad!” 🤣🤣🤣 love it!
A great double act , father and son , just started watching your channel . Great work and doing old fashion ways hammer and dolly
Been watching this restoration from the beginning and I'm glad to see new video. I think the Mini is going to be fantastic when it's finished. Look forward to more video, it truly makes my day. Thank you and God Bless you, your Dad and your entire family. Take care and be safe.
Very nice to see a father and son working together and having a good time doing it. I would have cleaned the spilled black sealant right of reprimered the damaged spots and put a tiny little role of the similar but than in white sealant right against the folded edge of the doorskin were it meets the door frame. It will prevent water from coming in between the two panels even better. But I would love to see you guys continuing
Great episode!! And I just started wearing the upbuild beanie again to keep me warm. The best one you can buy on this planet, Guys look at his merch shop.
I’m Pleased to hear you’re still liking the hats
😁👍
Cheers
Have you tried having a chat with Endaf Owens who builds classic mini race cars? He might even have some 👍
Ah that’s a very good point, I’ve seen these guys on Instagram, I will give them a call.
Cheers 👍
@@upbuild4397 no probs mate! Keep up the great work loving the videos
Great episode, we had to use polyurethane sealer when we replaced door skins years ago, before they phased them out for complete door replacement. Excellent stuff until you get on you hands and it ends up everywhere!
Love watching you guys I'm 52 and just landed the job of my life at the start of the year in a restoration shop just getting off there feet and one day I'll get an apprenticeship better late than never LOL so keep up the great work and carnt wait to see the finished job and I'm sure you's are to lol
well guys that's a good job well done even if it's the old fashioned way to can't wait to see the finished product kept up the good work see you next time
Great work!
Great to see you & your Dad working together on the mini. 👍
great work guys, the car rebuild is really taking shape
Mark you’d never make a barman. Head on that beer mind.!! 😱😂😂😂
Great video, it's lovely to see father and son working together, but most of all being respectful to each other. 🥰
Well done Lads great work love your vids 👊👍🏼👊🏻
Does your dad want to adopt me? I'm on!y 54
🤣🤣 I ask him 👍
Great teamwork, I can feel a family heirloom coming on.
Great to see you both back after all the disruption we’ve experienced.
I’m in awe of your can do approach.
Nice to see the doors completed, some nice beating and dolly work from your dad.
You and your dad are doing fantastic job . I never knew that there were so many differences between between a Mk1 and Mk4 Minii.
Excellent job you guys and a great way to end with sharing a drink with your dad! 👍
💙👊😎💙👊😎
Getting so much enjoyment watching the Mini taking shape. Thank you.
Another great video, so the tomatoes are finished what else do you do with the greenhouse but turn it into a blasting booth of course. Good work lads and the perfect finish with a beer.
Great to see you boys back at it. Great enjoyment watching you grind on, and have great fun doing it. Stay safe
Great teamwork it’s great to see you working together,is it a two pack primer? so what filters in the mask are you using because I’ve always used the air line masks which are clumsy for diy work keep them coming 👍👨🏻🏭 hope that was Brown Ale 😂
Hi yeah 2k epoxy primer, the filters are for use with the 2k but they don’t last long maybe only a couple of uses.
Nice to see Dad and son working together on a project. He knows his stuff.
Hi
Hello both . Hammer and dolly , it's the only way ! So, Dad must have been in the trade as having seen all of your video's l've often commented how you constantly put so called restoration specialists to shame ! And watching how you controlled the gun just sealed it for me , your Dad is your mentor ! All my children and grandchildren are girls and really never showed any interest in bodywork /restoration .....pity! I would loved to have passed on my skills to them . l trained up a few apprentices over the years. I would strongly resist sand blasting the shell with the media you're using . I did a couple of Lotus Cortina's and it proved impossible to get rid of it . I still had particles getting in the top coat , not on the top surfaces , but out of the box sections !!!! It really was a night mare ! Your saving grace is the mini doesn't have too many boxed in area's ! Great stuff as always and l think the one thumbs down is someone pulling your legs ! Thanks .
Thank you for your comments, appreciate them a lot 😁👍
You are absolutely marvelous. All the best from Nürnberg/Germany.
Fabricating with Love♥️.
Thank you 😁👍
