Not usually a fan of this style of video. However in this case you have absolutely nailed the use of the format! Probably the best summary video I have seen. Congratulations on the project as well, terrific work
That Mini is a “work of art” total credit to you Matt. Hope you have an Urch-fabulous Christmas and looking forward to many more videos throughout 2023.
Blimey, Matt... You got very lucky with that shell! I've never seen one in such rust free condition! Mind you, when I was playing with minis in the late '80s and early '90s, they were all £200 or £300 bangers that I drove until they failed an MOT.... They were rustier 30 years ago than yours is now.
Watching in a series of bits it seem like you got through it pretty easily but when you watch it all in one episode you see a real load of hard work went into it so far!
Watching from New Zealand, I have great memories of Imps, Mini's and Escorts racing in the 70's (they still are). Looking forward to seeing you race your build in the near future.
GODFATHER OF WELDING !!! Nowhere in the whole internet you can see such clean and truly beautiful weldings as Matt‘s ones. A rollcage done by you really is a piece of art! If you ever should do a welding course I surely will come over the channel to join in! My biggest respect, fantastic precise and perfect metal work! 😮😮😮👍👍👍
You, besides being an excellent professional of the most varied functions, are a great artist. Congratulations and a big hug from this friend here in Brazil.
Sometimes these recaps make a mockery of the time put in to get there but, they’re great viewing for us! Thanks Matt. Excellent content as always and nice roundup for the year. Have a great Christmas. Enjoy the downtime!
i have watched a lot of mini builds in my time and i have to say i have never seen one to this standard. the detail in the reinforcing and the cage is 2nd to none. when you opened the tin of paint i did wimper a bit but it is absolutely stunning. i really hope there is more to come on this. Love it.
G'day from West Australia😉 Matt, have to say another very nice build buddy🙂 Keep on keeping on Matt, Those creative juices run deep in you🙂👍👍 "The force is strong in this one" He could be a problem to the establishment🤔😄👌
I missed many videos of the Cooper Mini build from my previous phone dieing and lost all my subscriptions on TH-cam after finding out I could not retrieve them all. This one video makes up for all the build I never seen. You do excellent work Urchman! Maybe this time you will name the Mini...."SWEET PEA!!!" 😂🤣😅🤣😂! It is a sweet build!
Matt, really great run through of building your racing mini. Your standard of work is top class ! You’ve built what must be the stiffest, strongest mini I’ve ever seen - effectively a space frame chassis with the bare minimum of Mini panels stretched around it. Absolutely top class. Can’t wait to see how it performs !
Outside it just looks like a tidy normal Mini in late model Clubman colours which is a 100 percent compliment on your level of Craftsmanship and dedication
I've followed this build through all the separate videos, this summary adds to the build perfectly, such a nice job... I'm going to make sure I see it in the flesh at Castle Combe sometime 👍🏻
A great job once again Matt, I look forwards to seeing it finished and on track. It would be interesting to find out which is the better race car. The Mini or the Ford! Your attention to detail is extraordinary, these must be two of the best prepared cars in the UK!
Matt your fabrication skills are phenomenal, you always deliver. You are one of the creative people on You Tube and to be a 1 man army says alot about your character......keep up the great content 🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹
I hope that this build gets you the recognition in the sport that you deserve, and leads to some commissions to build for other drivers. Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Man your videos are fantastic. I am from Brazil, I am preparing an Opel Kadett C (name in Brazil is Chevette) for racing. Your videos are helping me a lot, especially some ideas on how to make some parts. Congratulations on the job.
Such a pleasure watching you work. Your skills and ability are brilliant. The Mini looks amazing. Good luck with it when you race it and seasons greetings for this time of year.
I really enjoyed this build! Wonderful color choices and aesthetics as well. Incredible fabrication chops! Well done guys! As a multiple classic mini owner, and Lincoln sponsored fabricator! I can really appreciate everything you guys did! Cheers
Nice work as always Matt and great to see it all in a single video - it really shows just how much work is involved in a quality build! Looking forward to seeing the final assembly and your initial track antics as you dial it in, hopefully early in the new year! Have a good break in the meantime 👍
Awesome video! So easy to watch all the thought and design you put into this build. Relaxing tunes too ! Can't wait to see the end result. Cheers for sharing. Catch you on the next one. Merry Christmas to you and your family. Sydney Australia MATE 🇭🇲👍🦘🎅🦘👍🇭🇲
There's been a lot of work leading to this stage of suitability I bet! It has to feel really great to prepare a motorsport body to this standard and stage of completion. Have a good one. Big ups bro. Kickin' arse into 2023 & beyond Matt.
This man can only be described as a first class metal fabricator, welder and mechanic.
Couldn't agree more
Matt certainly is top draw in what he fabricates
All we know is, he's called the Stig
And videographer and 'peddler'! Can't wait to see Matt's driving style in this one!
Agreed amazing skillZ

My Dad was a ambidextrous welder fabricator with a lot of skill and he would have had a lot of respect for you Matt, Excellent work.
Thanks 👍
Holy cow! sheer wizardry. Utterly mezmerising to watch the transformation
Your welding!!... and bending... and plate making, and knowledge, and construction... and.. and and..... pure class
Best Roll cage for a mini I've ever seen .....love it. . This gentleman is top class 👏 ! Well done 👏
Looking forward to seeing you blatting this around the track 🤟🏻
That Mini is a “work of art” total credit to you Matt. Hope you have an Urch-fabulous Christmas and looking forward to many more videos throughout 2023.
Amazing display of engineering and fabricating skills; must have a degree in origami, too. Great music and editing. Cheers to your efforts! 🥂🤠
Incredible to watch. Amazing work. Every success for 2023.
Blimey, Matt... You got very lucky with that shell! I've never seen one in such rust free condition! Mind you, when I was playing with minis in the late '80s and early '90s, they were all £200 or £300 bangers that I drove until they failed an MOT.... They were rustier 30 years ago than yours is now.
I was thinking at the beginning where it said first job,find a solid shell. Sure,get the hardest job out of the way first!😁
All I have are compliments. Great build.
Watching in a series of bits it seem like you got through it pretty easily but when you watch it all in one episode you see a real load of hard work went into it so far!
mate some TV executive needs to pick you up and give you your own show ..your that good and deserve it ...good luck man
You are a great engineer and that looks really smart
How exciting. I can't wait to see you on track with this machine.
Watching from New Zealand, I have great memories of Imps, Mini's and Escorts racing in the 70's (they still are). Looking forward to seeing you race your build in the near future.
That's a lot of hours condensed to 30 mins, body is looking sweet look forward to the final assembly. You and the family have a good Christmas.
Looks great. Man asks for paint color suggestions, proceeds to paint exactly like the other car. Love it.

Thank you for the recap. Great way to remind us how far this project has come!
Oh my,, such skill ... Beautiful work.
Fine work there Matt!! She is looking great, the fab work is excellent as usual!
That's not a cage, it's a work of art. And this from a fellow engineer, stunning work.
Cheers Adam
Truly a fantastic build Matt you have put so much work in you must be pleased bet you cant wait to get it on the track.
Your paint spraying skills have really come on in leaps and bounds. Great job!
Fantastic to see Matt's confidence grow from fretting over how to get paint on the Mongrel to charging right into this paint work.
Great video, you've certainly got the skills, made it look easy, that mini is built like a tank and an impressive amount of work for one person.
Taking the Mini to a Whole New LeVeL. Congratulations!

Beautiful work! Wish I had this kind of talent to build my own mini into a racer like this.
Hope it never has an accident! Can’t imagine having to unpick that lot! (Absolutely amazing though!)
Got to say I'm loving your work, been following you for a long time and always enjoy your content, keep up the good work, and happy holidays
Well done, Matt, it looks fantastic.
An excellent work! Keep going and merry christmas!
Outstanding job, mate!!!!!!!
Not many channels out there in YT land that commends a person on their welding. Masterful
Well done Ant !!
That workmanship was second to none, absolutely beautiful design and welding

Awesome, classic work. Same quality as a PRODRIVE or even M-Sport build.
Great build Matt, I’ve loved every build on your channel
I would love that for a daily driver. Send it over as soon as it’s done. Thanks. 😋
I hope that this build gets you the recognition in the sport that you deserve, and leads to some commissions to build for other drivers. Merry Christmas to you and your family.
