Looking good my man!! Nice to see the whole car up close!! And I can agree that dash cluster is really cool specifically the way the side gauge sticks on the side!!🙌🏻👊🏻

Love your car. I’ve been doing my mk1 cooper S over on my channel but tbh, I miss having paint I don’t need to worry about. Mine was a bit TOOOOOO ratty before I took it apart and there were a few things under it that really needed sorting. Overcrest looks awesome. I’d love to do it some day.
@minilife.373 күн бұрын
It is quite nice not having to worry about it. It gets beat up in my tiny garage. I’m planning on painting my Mk1 S as well. So I’ll have to worry about that 😂

@@minilife.37 when I started driving it after assembly. I was hesitant to bring it anywhere I was going to park it and leave it. I made a decision right then that I was just going to drive it and not worry about it. Fuck it! These cars are supposed to be enjoyed.

I thought it was 2000 followers needed rather than the 2500 mentioned in this podcast. Heaps of mini Facebook groups to broadcast your podcast and get Mountney followers. Good luck with the goal. Hope it happens!

You can get a quick shifter for the bike engine. It basically kills the ignition or the injectors for a few milliseconds to take the load off the gearbox allowing you to flat out bang it through the gears! I can feel the sexual tension boys, it's gonna be smolderingly hot in that mini on the rally. Might wanna take a cool box with you 😁

Mike, it's real simple to centralise your steering wheel. Do it through the track rod ends. Basically crack off the lock nut and wind the steering rack either into or out of the track rod end. Whatever you do to one side you must do the opposite to the other side to keep your toe in/out as it was before. So basically if you wind the n/s in one turn you must wind the o/s out one turn. Dead simple. Trial and error how far to wind them but do a little bit then take it for a lap of the block and work from there. Make a vid, stick it on the Tube 😁
