Did you find it was the same issue in the end?

Sorry missed your post. I drained the water first. The ice cream tub was all that was needed. Hope that helps

Thanks Mate ;-)

Thankyou so much. That means alot. Yes it is hard to make the videos good for all. I think its a case of making sure that you dont film to much. That the pace is good. I think my videos could be better but thats more money and time. Maybe one day lol As I said in my opening video this is for fun and giving back.

yes its going to make things alot easier. Just have to get the power right thats all.

Many Thanks. Yes I see that others do this but I found that the welds didnt bond as well through the primer. So have decided that i will go bare ;-) I am going to see how things last and if needed I know how to do it lol Then I can always feedback and let you guys know.

If that's of any help, I use zinc primer but more often then not it will burn out de coating near the welding area and that's the some as if there was no coating at all. Therefore its best to not coat near the area you'll be welding. I try to be strategic and leave open areas when I can paint the inner areas afterwards. In other case i don't have that luxury and have to resort in drill holes and sparing the inside with waxoil or similar.

Yes one step at a time and I will get there LOL

Yes I agree. Its funny how we get in the wrong habbits isnt it. I have never had so much of an issue fitting a screen before. So this is the first time I had made a scratch. Had to be on the freash paint lol

Yes it is. I have had some that seamed to be made by hoover not rover lol

Im glad the video gave you an insight into the show. Its a great event. We need more of them!

Im glad you enjoyed it. Thinking of going yourself??

Merry Christmas and happy new year to you too. Are you after tyres or Rims?? Do you have any pics etc of your mini??

It's a great weekend. Worth the trip. Which show did you see us then?

Thanks. It's a small world isn't it. Did you see the other youtubers during the weekend?

That's great to hear. Yes the heater isn't the best but better than nothing lol

Many thanks for your message. Yes more to come. I'm having a kit kat. Lol I will get you all more footage as soon as I can

Many thanks. Small delay on uploads at the moment but don't worry. More content is coming

You will find it very easy to use. AC Dodd has done a great job with it.

Thanks for your message. I took about 2-3 inches off the edge. If you watch the next video where I do the toe board you can see how much I cut off when I add the sections around the front of the tunnel. Hope that helps.

me too, Current setup plan is orignal large valve head MG metro engine. 2 ring box fitted with 2.7 final drive. HIF44 and an exhaust which isnt too noisy. I was going to wait til speaking to you but as you have brought it up lol Obviously you will be seeing the HIF and the dizzy. Do you think I would benifit from changing the rockers or are the standard ones ok for the MG Metro Cam? Anything else I should think about like changing the CR to work better with todays fuel??

@@classicminilife 2.76 is too high. Run a 2.95. I also recommend some head mods (without internal porting) to get you some more power. Change the cam for one of my more modern profiles (ACD -RT) to get more average torque and lower the compression to 9.65:1 to make this the smooth motorway mile muncher you need. Fit a lightened and balanced/setup clutch assembly to ensure smith running and plenty of grip. My 1.28or 1.3:1 rockers would be ideal here.

Can you supply me with the flywheel or point me to which you think would work best. Head work I take it you mean ports?

Don't worry about it. That's the good think about it. Can always do it again in the future and hay it's a mini I most likely will have to lol

That's what I was thinking. I have it so use it.

The wire feed motor is starting to fail. The drivers side I joined it on the rear bend of the door. I think that's a better place to fit it.

Yes it is. But without them the cars wouldn't make it back on the road

of course. Its ment to be a Huddersfield mini spares one. I brought it from someone on facebook market place.

Its hard to keep little man interested in the current work as it isnt the most fun but he is there sometimes you just dont always get to see him. Yes im still amazed by the bolts. I have removed bolts from younger cars in worse condition. Thats if you can get them out.

Thankyou very much. I am trying my best ;)

Thanks I gave my car keys to my best man and found out they did this afterwards. lol It was the film teams idea I have been told. But yes makes a great funny addition to the wedding dvd. Yes we have a small collection of mini's. Will keep the playlists going as long as the cars are kept. Im not sure what will be next after the orange one. I have some plans but which way they will go im not sure. Mini related of course. Also thinking of doing something like keith and saving what ever minis I can find. Not sure til I get there.

@classicminilife yes... Keith has done a lot 😳 I don't know how he deals with it. One mini restoration is enough for me 😬. I believe every mini saved is brilliant. Such an iconic car for Britain 🇬🇧.

That's very nice of you to say. I will try and get the videos out as quick as I can. All depends on avaliable time. Hope you enjoy them

That's good to hear. Glad I did it. Not many minis these days have all there metal in them lol

Thank you for subscribing. I'm glad you are enjoying the videos. Yes it was very nice of Keith to give us a shout out. Very greatful.

Can you explain this a bit more?? 1/3 of what?? Ta

1/3 of the height change you're after, if you want to raise the suspension by an inch, raise the hilo by 1/3 of an inch.

Glad you are enjoying the videos. Thanks for watching.

Yes it was in need of some help. Glad you are enjoying the project. I have to say its alot of fun. Cant wait to see the final product.

Thank you for watching.

Jake says good choice 👌

This is the problem. Its always how much money do you throw at these things. As there is alot to do I am trying to keep the costs down were I can. The thing in the back of my mind is getting it on the road and I can always do it right next time lol

Many thanks for your support and I hope you enjoy watching.

@@classicminilife you're welcome & I look forward to watching the next episode. Looks like you've got your hands full 😁.

Many thanks for your support and I hope you enjoy watching.

Hi Mate!! yes he has done me a good fav there. Us mini KZbinrs have to stick together. Its all about giving people content. If we all work together we can get rid of those tv licenses lol Was great to catch up with you the other day.

Camera mounted to windscreen. Otherwise held by my wife so will be passenger side

Break down always in the back of our head but the car has always been good and apart from the arch did the trip without issue

Thanks for being worried. I am making sure that I am lining up with were panels fitted before. I don't cut all of it or I leave marks on the shell. Thanks for watching

Brought from minispares but yes I belive it is and m-machine panel. Thanks for watching. I'm hoping that it works out well too lol

You're doing great. Stopped working on my mini a couple of years ago. Watching your progress has inspired me to get back on it. Thanks

Thanks for the input. Hope you are enjoying the videos.

Glad you are looking forward to it. We are looking forward to doing all the work too. Will try and upload videos as quick as I can.

Nope I'm using a Clarke 135t with a hobby weld bottle and regulator. Proberly just my non professional welding skills lol. Thanks for watching.

LOL, we shared a static caravan. Which I have to say didnt look very old.
