Thanks for the comment! Not sure I would go down the route of repair patches again! I think a spot welder and new panels is definitely the way forward but it’s a big learning curve

I've a corsa for my daily. I did mine this summer with an eBay new seal. I can't remember if it fit perfectly I'd have to check again. I like your thinking with the sealer though. I may do the same if mine goes again.

Was at this show. Third year in a row. We are stood in the crowd where the purple shorty Mini pulled up, during the competition. Thankfully there were more cars this year, BUT I feel they shouldn't allow those hideous new "minis", which are as close to a Mini as a Transit van. Bloody awful now. I went a couple of times a few years back, before the BMW Mini was around and it was a great show then

Same cars as Himley, which is why i stopped going both shows, you either go one or the other. The BMC would do better moving one of them further North maybe. Im sure with a strong wind you will get yours at a show in 2025, these things take time mate.

Well done mate. I love how simple you make it, it’s not complicated just hard work and dedication and a hell of a lot of time doing what you do best. Your knowledge and understanding of metalwork is next level. I definitely feel inspired to give that sort of thing a crack again, using your videos as a good reference to things that are easily over looked. Well done mate 🙂

I have only just started to watch your mini restoration videos and I have to say they are the best I have watched so far on KZbin and look forward to seeing more of your work. I personally think you are doing a great job considering the limitations of your space and equipment, but then it just goes to show what you can do when you have both natural talent, skil and determinationl. I am being inspired by you to make a better job of my restorations.
