It looks like your 1275GT engine block is an A+ version, they were developing the A+ for the metro, however a few random minis including the GT got the A+ approximately 1979 onwards. You can tell an A+ with the forked clamp with one bolt holding the dizzy also the dip stick goes directly into the block and not in a short tube. My 1980 GT also has the A+ block 😊.

Hi Ryan, Your welcome my friend. I've had 2 1275 GTs and umpteen MGs that I've rebuilt. Keep up the goog work down in the potteries. Cheers Nic

Newtoncomercial for your carpet choices

the straps in the rear were for back in the day to secure a small carry cot basically like a large shoe box a baby would lay in, which we did in a fiat 127 they were bolted through the body that was the only thing available in the seventy's, i think we got ours from Boots , hope this helps.

Hi, I subscribe only because of the clubman and I watch on my TV. I haven't seen any other videos of yours, sorry. I'm trying to put you off or pit you down, im just talking. I would edit videos in a way with you talking over the work your doing rather then recording yourself talking. I hope that makes sense and sorry again but I'm not trying to put you off.b

Hiya, you could do with moving the lower radiator hose jubilee clip so you can get at it from above as for easier access in the future .

You might want to invest in a full face respirator I got one from Amazon about £26 for ceiling work and plaster dust best thing I ever bought the masks your using are ok but they don’t seal up great and you still end up breathing in loads of crap

Can't wait for it!

if you are going to do a job you might as well do it right mate 👍

Just come across your channel… great content. Is that a Stoke accent? 😊

Never get bored of Mini content! Love it. Keep it up 👍

Really enjoy your videos keep up the good work.

really enjoying the videos on the minis mate you are doing an amazing job all the best

looks nice made a nice job mate keep it up these are the videos I like 👍

Pretty good here, Crackin'

2 lessons learnt when I rebuilt my sons mini was, 1) Get a roll over jig, you can get one for about £300 but you know you will need to replace either sills, floorpans, heelboard, arches, boot etc and will make your life so much easier and 2) mini sand blaster for cleaning parts. The only way you make your money back on this is sticking to originality, glad to see you have the full interior and glass. I would just strip everything off the car, get it to a bare shell, strip off all the paint and get back to bare metal to see the true damage, you just know there will be lots of holes, it is a mini of course. And dont skimp on panels, genuine all the way as they fit loads better than Magnum or any other aftermarket ones

Keep that air filter and air box!! Appear to be quite rare, and according to the mini bible they were the best filter kit you could put on them! Far better than the cone filters!

Ah nice. Can’t beat a 1275GT project. Fun fact, in 1969 the square fronted Mini was released. It came in 3 variants, the Clubman (base model), the Clubman Estate (Base model estate) and the 1275GT (top spec square front). The 1275GT wasn’t a clubman although everyone called it one, it just shared the square front with the Clubman models.

Great build! I've subscribed and looking forward to the updates. Thanks so much for taking the time to do this. Cheers, Michael.

Lovely job Ermas, such a perfectionist and you make it look so easy. Thanks so much for your hard work, I`ve really missed your vids these last few months. Kindest regards, Paul from Widnes

amazing content mate looking foward to much much more

Excellent Mini content. Love it. Keep it up!

What paint did you use in the engine bay please ?. It looks like the Austin Healey metallic green.

got a 40mm side draft manifold if you need one

Look forward to seeing you later in the summer Malcolm

I find your videos very interesting

Great job, it's very tedious but well worth it, I used paint stripper still a pain to do and messy.

Just seen your channel look forward to seeing your progress

Looks like the fan is back to front

Let get it running. My first was an 850

lol true but I like the song 😊

That’s FUNNY that you put that American themed song on such a British car video 😳😜🤔

I've been working on mini''s since 1966 - from 850cc to modified 1340's (still have a 1275 in restoration) I've never seen the engine you showed with that short clutch lever I was only ever aware of the long lever type were the slave cylinder bolts down on top of the clutch bell housing. I also have genuine BMC workshop manuals from back in the day and nothing is shown of a short lever clutch lever I'm intrigued to learn what mini version these were fitted to.

Thank you for the comment and yes I agree with you think it needs a new engine

Looking forward to the build! I´d replace the engine. Keep it up!
