- Classic Mini Mk1 Conversion
The Classic car restoration series continues with our classic Mini Mk1 Conversion. In this episode we take a quick look at all the Mk1 conversion fabrication work that we have done so far to convert this 1989 classic Mini Racing Flame into a 1960 Mk1 Cooper. We take care of all the panel gaps on the car around the newly restored Mk1 doors, adding material and remove where needed, they now fit like a glove. We also get the door rubbers, handle, latch, catch, windows etc on for a trial fit and try opening and shutting the doors for the first time. All in this video.
So let’s crack on, I hope you enjoy the episode
Huge thank you for watching.

I think that’s the only mini in existence with gaps of that quality. Certainly far better than factory
Love your dads support and praise 👍🏻
Yep definitely missed you and your dad
Quality workmanship guys. Patience of a saint comes to mind so fair play to you. Can’t wait to see it finished 👍👍👍👍👍👌
My parents bought me a D reg 850 mini Mk1 for £160 in 1973, which was sold for spares or repairs circa 76 as the floor had fallen out. I was a student so I had no cash to repair her and there were no mig welders in those days. Oh how I wish I could have had somewhere to keep her until I was in funds. Anyway, FYI, if my mini doors had fitted as well as yours I would have been really chuffed. 😂 Your dad will know all about panel gaps on 1960’s and 1970’s British cars. Best regards, David
I love how you enjoy your father's company and his kindness with him, I really enjoyed seeing how you rebuilt the mini, greetings from Jaén, Andalusia, Spain.
The second great mini build on TH-cam? I think so.
We have missed you guys!!!
You'll still be finished before Binky. Keep it up!
You guys look very toasty in your new improved workshop, but what's up? No beers.
Your doi,n a grand job all round mate, Cant wait to see her all painted up.
It’s just like you’ve never been gone! I don’t think I’ve ever seen a Mini with door gaps that good before, even Jaguar and Rover had to fence off their gaps to stop people falling in.
I heard some people were using TFL announcements as a warning when the door closed.
Brilliant, well worth the wait, great to see u and ur Dad back at the mini
Great work there lads 👍. Those panel gaps are way better than when they were new 😁
Well its great that you’re back as l thought l lost you pair. Love ya work as always. Cheers Steve 🍺🍺🍺
Love this channel, especially father and son working together. I think that's the first time I've heard your names mentioned, keep up the excellent work and keep your eye on that boy dad 😎😎. I for one will be sorry when this project is finished
Your attention to detail is amazing 👍👍Really enjoying your videos😀😀👍👍
Lovely to see you back on the mini. Those door gaps are better than any mini left the factory with.
Those door gaps are closer than any factory fit I've ever seen! well done you two
Absolutely love this channel, I wish we could have a video every week, it is that interesting, I know it's not possible though. I had a 1972 Austin Mini in 1981 for a few years, I had three engines in it in three year, first was the original 1000cc, then a 1100 from an Austin 1100, then I built a 850cc grass track engine with a 998 cooper head on it, milled down by 40 thou, if I remember correctly it had a compression ratio of around 10 or 11 to one, it had a full race cam, it would hardly go below 3,500rpm then went like a scalded cat, 95 to 100mph top speed. Amazing times. Keep up the fantastic work guys.
I'm not getting notifications anymore when you post a new video. What's up with TH-cam?
I really enjoy watching you and your Dad working together, great content. Take care and stay well.
Ah that’s a paint, I’ve heard that can happen sometimes. Hopefully it gets sorted. We’ll have a new episode on the Mini in a couple of weeks 👍
I'm so impressed with you sticking a bit on those door edges and not warping the skin. Cracking job!
Great to see you and dad back, always great to watch on a lazy Sunday morning, 👍👍👍👍👍
Hi YA. Fit the door rubbers to the door frame and check how much they interfere with the door closing and maypush the top of the door frame out ,please check but warm up the rubbers so they ''give as much as possible. . regards Don
It’s really heart warming watching you and your Dad working on the mini again 🤩 Bet that new workshop is a real treat to work in now with all that extra space 😂 Can’t wait for the best episode cheers Stevie
Hello, very good job 👍👍👍👍👍, salutations de Suisse 🇨🇭 et à bientôt 👍.
Well done nice door shut lines I can here the engine running anytime fanbloodytastic 👍👨🏻🏭
Great job #UpBuild 👍. Love this series of just some old metalwork shaping around this great piece of machinery 😍
I love what you two did to the "garage" and i'm very pleased to see you are back on track with the Mini Mk1 conversion... Keep it up and keep pushing content out on a regular basis again...
Perfection takes time!
Great video, good to have you back boys
Fantastic🙏👍🇩🇪😎. I am so happy that the father and son dreamteam is back on the mini. Cheers and warm greetings from Germany 🇬🇧
Thank you for the warm welcome 😁👍
Considering all the work you've done on this shell I never thought you'd get those doors to fit as well as you did, brilliant work and better than when it left the factory, well done.
I was finishing some shopping yesterday and on the way out of the shop a yellow Mk2 Mini drove by. Roof & bonnet painted black and the rest was a Candy yellow colour. White wedding ribbons
decorated the front of the car. My thoughts immediately shifted to your build and here you are. Your dad looks great but noticed that he has slowed down a little. I am not sure of your action plans
around Covid but do your best to protect yourself and your family. I am vey excited about your build as its progressing great work with your emphasis on a quality finish.
Hi thank you for message, yeah we’re being very careful to stay safe. My Dad is waiting on going into hospital to have ankle replacements, it’s quite difficult for him getting about but he still plods along 😁👍
You could put this up against a 'Heritage' body and I'll be yours would look better. Great work.. Nice to see the both of you back again.
That's quite a skilled job! Good conversion
Awesome work, lads loving the build
Great job on door gapping great see you bk looking forward to NX video keep up great work 👍
spotty dog chaps great work and really nice to see you
Geez guys I have missed you, love watching the Mini progress, it was my first car but mine was a 59 Van with side windows and a rear seat installed, the guy wanted 50 ponds for it but as it needed 1 tire I got it for 47 pounds, Oh my those days are gone :)
G'day from Australia.
Awesome job guys this is going to be better than when one came off the assembly line.
Anyhoo thankyou for sharing another great video.
✌🏻 Peace.
More great work and content from Mark and Jim, this is surely a labour of love the attention to detail is something else those door gaps are spot on right enough.
Take Care Stay Safe Everyone Regards Dave 👍😎🏴
great attention to detail , nice job
Great job boys. I’m not a mini man myself but the principal is universal. Thanks for the tips and tricks along the way. Also great that you show that you are not perfect and make some mistakes. Some TH-camrs must edit lots out. Everyone makes mistakes 😁
Amazing job
The shed looks cosy now with all that insulation 😀 lovely job on the doors.
GOOD JOB
So glad to see you boys back at it. Love the videos.
From one restorer to another people don’t realise how much time goes into all this work keep it up and good luck
Appreciate that thank you 👍
Never saw factory shut lines as even as yours! One of our minis had the bottom of the passenger door almost 1/4" proud of the shell :D
It’s been a while since you posted a video, I’ve been following for a while, I really enjoy the work you and your Dad are doing , excellent work❤️
Hi.
Thank you, we appreciate that. We will hopefully have a new episode out on the Mini in a couple of weeks.
Been a long wait but glad you are back on it!
Perfection
Love this build, my Dad had a Mk1 mini in the 70s reg plate 3133BY, if I remember rightly there was a push button in the foot well to start. Keep up the great work boys
Nice to see new video been keeping an eye out for 1 👍
Great to see you 2 lads back
Ive been waiting on this video for a while , yet another fantastic episode 👌
It’s great to see you and your dad making great progress. What a team. 👍
Great job glad to have you back keep up the work Bill USA
HI Mark. Did the same thing on my minor. Easy done everything you and your dad is doing is spot on . All the best Mark
Great to see as always
Good work!👍
What a cracking video nice tips on sorting door gaps out. That mk1 is looking so good now.
beautiful attention to detail. now i just need to learn to weld!
I started watching with your garage renovation and am staying for this build. Very interesting build. Thank you for the content.
Nice to see you both back on screen 👍
You guys have been watching Retropower, I suspect - those shutlines are perfect! Well done, lads.
Great stuff as always, really enjoy the channel and can't wait for the next video
Nice job with the doors, looking forward to the next video. Greetings from Canada 🇨🇦
Great stuff 👏 👍 👌
Well done
Gaps look good
Those panel gaps are about as good as a mini gets without going all Nic Blackhurst on it 🤣
High praise 😁👍
Agreed.
Or Retropower....
Captive nuts alone would push this Mini back another month if Nic was in the shed, although I have to admit Binky's roof is simply the best mini roof I have ever seen⛽
Your attention to detail is fantastic. Really enjoyed that. Thanks.
Well done as usual. Those panel gaps came out briliant 👍👍
Take it from a retired body man, you're doing a great A #1 job, only down fall I can think of is after all the great work I would be a bit scared to drive on the street lol...
Really appreciate that thank you 👍 we just enjoy giving it a go. I already feel a bit worried about driving it 😂
You two gents do some very good fabrication! I enjoy your videos greatly! Thank you.
Great stuff and good to see you back, lads. You do have to wonder how many Minis had that much attention paid to their panel gaps as they rolled down the line at Longbridge!🤣🤣
You guys are amazing!
Nice to see you guys back!
Love the way you make things fit through skill and innovative ideas, certainly makes me want to try things I wouldn't normally try 👍😁
Glad to see you both back
Nice work well explained 👍👍👍 o
Great work, you are putting a lot of attention to detail into the project.
Cheers mate 😁👍
Great video Guy's thanks for sharing 👍
Great work guys. Thought you'd given up on the project, great to see you back. My Son is just about to embark on a Skoda Felicia Fun. It is absolutely rotten. I told him to have a look at your channel for idea's.
Awah the lads
Welcome back, lads!! Happy New Year to you all! Cracking work as per usual. I had to add 9mm to the rear lower edge of the boot lid, 10mm in some places on the doors & 5mm to the rear edge of the bonnet on my HC Viva! Panel gaps were all over the place! The l/h quarter door shut above the swage line was badly pressed & had to slice that!! Never mind though... it's all nice & shiny now with the new paint I applied in the shed! Cheers. Leigh. PS: that's Rolls Royce panel gapping right there!!!
Hi cheers buddy 😁👍 I’ve just been checking out you Viva in all those pic you sent on Instagram, that’s fantastic thank you for the pics 👍👍
That's absolutely brilliant, I would love a mark 2 conversion to mark 1 mini, how much would it cost me.
Really talented guys
A new vid,i,ve been looking forward to this.(hopeless comment to follow.lol)
Thanks.
So glad your back.
Hello Mark and Hello Jim . Good to see you and that all is well ! Getting those gaps aligned is a long and patient process ! Did l suggest using 3mm mild steel rods to fill those gaps ? It does make for less work ! I have also cut and dressed the apertures to help things along . There's always more than one way to skin a cat as they say ! Well , crack on guys ! Great work as always !
I didn’t think about that, that a fantastic tip, cheers👍
Great content love watching your new uploads.
I was wondering where you were🤪 I love the early Mini, I owned 2 in my life. The car Mk1 and a 1962 Van . That was a long time ago , I now live in the USA
Ah that fantastic. Am not sure if you’ve seen it but Alex toon on TH-cam has a lovely little early van, one of my favourite vans. Definitely something we’d love to have at some point.
good job lds a labour off love tats for sure
Sei veramente bravo!
Ставлю лайк не глядя!
Куда пропали?
Great stuff, been waiting for your next installment. Top quality work.
Thank you 😁👍 Nice Lotus Cortina in your profile pic 👍👍
Great job!
Love from South Africa.
