@@Near2Future rookie mistake as Ive upgraded since then. But Surprisingly that frame is still hold strong 💪🏻

@@klegraefe We all live & learn at least it worked out! I reckon those extra 10 mins you added. Helped with reaching the temp needed. I'm going to be doing the Orange-Sherbert-Sparkle from Prismatic for my ktm triple trees. Hopfully it goes as planned lol

@ fingers crossed my man, that’ll be cool!! I actually just did my ttr125 hubs in Illusion violet and I’ve never done illusion colors before. But the reaction is cool, literally flash the purple violet for 2-4 minutes and it turned silver. Then add clear vision on top and it pulls the purple back to the top. Really interesting how it works, love the color but it didn’t match at all not even the slightest bit haha, I’m thinking my flash time could have been off or mayb the mill thickness of the clear and or the illusion could have something to do with it.

@@klegraefe I can't wait! I hope it turns out just as awesome as I imagine! If the colour is lighter / darker in area's. Then it's a base mil thickness (too light not enough powder to dark too much). If it's overall not the right shade could be clear as you said or cure time. I would have also pulled it out at around 2-3mins. Once it's started to flow / gel. That's when it's rdy turning silver would be a good indication as well of a good pull. I've heard of people using diff clears with purple! I hope you figure it out, definitely a hard colour to pull off.

@ overall it’s consistent in color. Actually I missed a step, says to let it cool down completely after gel out and I’m pretty sure I applied the clear coat at around 175-250 degrees while it was still hot, Almost like a hot floc application, I’m gonna have to try a test piece, hope yours goes to plan as well!! 👊🏻👍🏻

@@theartem01 much appreciated 👊🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

@@xdub101 I mean the ugly round nose is a bit more ugly than the clubman, Plus this gives me more room and looks less ugly than a round nose 😅

@@gafrers ahhh you no the drill!! It never ends hahah 🙏🏻🙏🏻👊🏻👊🏻

@@karlgt9989 🙏🏻🙏🏻 slow and steady wins the race as the say hahah. Thank you man!

@@apprentice_pleb one is an Ebrake my friend 🫡👊🏻🙏🏻

@@J4rn0 appreciate it my man!! I did come up on a few dilemmas but I’ll worry about that later than sooner haha

@@martinroscoe6890 🙏🏻🙏🏻👊🏻 much appreciated, I have not been thinking of colors yet, as all I’ve been thinkin about was how am I going to fit a heater box in this thing 😬😅🥴

@@MrAndrew1400 neither do I, but I must push forward and stay positive!! 😬😬

@@Justins_shed lmao finding music is one of the most struggling things atleast for me, stumbled on some smooth jazz, takes the win for sure 😅🙏🏻🤘🏻

@@rayhall4578 yea it’s a little annoying but it is wat it is. I still haven’t messed with it, it’s been over a year now. Figured I’d tackle that issue once I’m ready for body work. If I ever get that far haha 😅

@@klegraefe there still the best ones to get like , dont give up on your build it will be mental when finished

@@rayhall4578 I agree! The bonnet fits pretty good as well, I started the wiring last week!! I’m hoping to have it started by the end of the year but we shall see 😁🤞🏻

@@GTE_Channel much appreciated thank you!! 🙏🏻 🤘🏻. I’m still on the fence on how long it will hold for or even be up for the job when filled with gas but besides that potential failure I to am stoked on the basket weaves, haha. My test piece I did angles weaves but failed horribly so I went with just straight lined weaves, also hard to tell but there is many flaws in the belts but that dang brown leather die really disguises and blends everything together nicely hahah 🤫

@@klegraefe I love it. You did a fantastic job

@@J4rn0 I can’t tell you how I appreciate that man!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻👊🏻👊🏻 thank you! Yes, I’ve really been into trying different things and opening new doors in hoping it will all work out in the end!! Hahah

@@MathewTavares 🙏🏻🙏🏻👊🏻👊🏻 Dude the leather shit is so satisfying to do haha

@@gafrers appreciate you Gaf!!🙏🏻🙏🏻👊🏻🤘🏻

@@MrAndrew1400 a solid 10 lmao 🤣 🤣

@@karlgt9989 thank you man, idk exactly how it will hold up longevity but I’m excited to find out haha

@@PracticalRecycling101 🙏🏻👊🏻 I simply have no idea! 😅 and I’m undecided😬 but I hear you! I wanna see some color on this in the worst way!!!

@@smirkymeteor7 ahhh, makes sense 😅

@@PracticalRecycling101 that is awesome, always a good feeling wen everything works as it should hahah, what kind???! Motor ect…

@@klegraefe it's a 1983 1275E Clubman. They built a the Clubman here in South Africa in the 80's. I have mounted a 20V 1600 4AGE where the back seats were. Used the Toyota front assembly. K-member, control arms, hubs etc. There is something you won't like though. I am running 15's. We have a company here called A-Line wheels and they do a sweet Minilite replica wheel called Zero. She is still in primer and the engine is running poorly. Until I get her wired up properly. But she goes forward, turns left and right and stops.

@@PracticalRecycling101 that sounds awesome!! Yea the wheels may be a bit to big for me hahah, but I feel like they would look the really well especially being on a longer chassis clubman🙌🏻🙌🏻. I feel your pain with the wiring though, that’s a big hurdle that I am also not looking forward to, thing is, thats actually coming up really soon 😬.

@@PracticalRecycling101 thanks man!! I didn’t forget either about showing what’s going on with the mini overall, that will be in 2 vids from now haha

@@klegraefe excellent. Looking forward to it.

@@MrAndrew1400 much appreciated man! The little side jobs are awesome but takes time away from working on the mini, hahah. But yea next vid will be out within a week, one that I’m more stoked on haha

@@Construtordecarro much appreciated 🙏🏻🙏🏻

@@gafrers lmao yea I think project Brass definitely suits the build much better!! Much appreciated for coming up with the name!!👊🏻🙏🏻 wait till u see the rear fire wall 😅

@@klegraefe I was mistaken, i remembered it was already called Project Brass. Apologies but glad you like it. Cannot wait for next video

@@gafrers Project Brass, Brass Mini either one is perfect!! Im pushing to not let it get to another 3 months for a new video lmao. Shooting for within the next 2 weeks. Maybe sooner 😬

@@PracticalRecycling101 absolutely, but first there will be 2 more videos I need to complete 🥴 or mayb I can do a quick walk around! I’ll figure it out for you hahah😅. 🙏🏻👊🏻

Me too man. Me too.

@@semhouben6300 hell yeah!! Get out there and start turning some wrenches!!! 🔧 💪🏻

@@Justins_shed 😂 lmao what is normal

@@klegraefe 🤷🏻‍♂️ I have never known

Lmao yea that’s all I work on except for wen I make a random video about nothing 😂

@@klegraefe hell yeah. I just imported my 89 to the states last month. Bought it 3 years ago in Italy

@@1jzaddy oh shit!! Better late than never!! 👊🏻🤘🏻

I wish it was mine 😅, I was just fixing it up for my buddy. Always nice to save a frame wen possible especially an FBM🙏🏻👊🏻

@@klegraefe Yeah, but got to be careful because people try to pass stuff like that off as original and such. You did such a good job it would take someone who really knows what to look for to notice it being fixed in this manner. Still a cool video and great job. Glad mine is original!

@@twiztidsidfreak13 absolutely, i actually think he put it together and is now riding it haha

Lmao 😂. They are Image Wheels BB4’s

I don’t no where to begin haha, the car is absolutely amazing hands down. Sad thing is, I don’t drive her that much, main reason being, I never got the reverse to work as I wanted to, it does work but I don’t really like how it is, plus it’s an absolute rocket ship, if your building a racecar, I would do this, if ur building a street car, for around town and such, I would not recommend the street motor, a lot of hi revs and with no reverse, it makes it sometimes difficult to drive In public especially in traffic hahah. Overall though, I’d say it was an Easier build being u have a much smaller wiring loom, and most of the components are small and can pretty much fit anywhere in the car, biggest challenge was fitting a slim enough tunnel for driveshaft and exhaust while keeping enough room inside the car to fit a proper seat, the tunnel makes it super tight inside basically. As for weight, I have no idea. My best guess is somewhere around 1700lbs I appreciate you watching man thank you 🙏🏻

I agree. That is completely my fault but in my crappy defense, I’ve never made mounts from scratch b4 and this was fully just guessing and checking. I thought the video was somewhat followable. But you are right, I need to try and explain more. Appreciate your opinion 🙏🏻🙏🏻👊🏻

For the most part yes hahah. Until I find a new catchy jingle I can use without there being issues 😂. I’m open to options

🤞🏻🤞🏻 it’s good to be back it has been an exhausting 2-3 months hahaha

Appreciate you man! Ur message really made me get a video out asap hahah. I’m gonna try to get at least 1 to 2 vids out every month 🤣😬

@@klegraefe good to hear mate, you are really good at what you do and love how you make everything 👍🏻👌🏻💪🏻

@@skidmores.garage same to you man! Your cages always come out so flawless!!

Absolutely, so much was going on and I couldn’t handle it, my brain was turning to mush. I had to wait until I was ready to start these vids up again. 🙏🏻🙏🏻✌🏻✌🏻

For sure, I’ve really taking a liking to the Audi/vw wipers, when mounted solid, there’s bearly any flex and works 1000 times better than the stock mini wipers, but yea it is a bigger unit for sure. That little moon shape I grinded out made all the difference, and I believe there’s still enough meat on the arm that it should hold up just fine. We shall see!! 🤞🏻😅

Appreciate it!!! I forgot to mention the fuel cell a cheap generic 15 gallon tank and I was so surprised how well it fit between those back A post bars in the boot, it made life so much easier a saved a ton of modifications. 😮‍💨🙏🏻✌🏻

The time and effort has definitely been worth it😮‍💨. Appreciate you Gafrers🙏🏻🙏🏻

Lmao. Im really digging “the price is right” riffs lately 👊🏻🤙🏻😅😆

It looked really nice right after we painted everything, but then the ole angle grinder came out to play and immediately threw dust and dirt everywhere hahah. 😅👊🏻🙏🏻

I used an 03 Yamaha R1 engine
