Full strip and rebuild of a 1962 Morris Mini Mk 1 for my Godmother who used to have the same one back in the 70's!

[@stepcorngrumbleteats7683]

I loved when she dropped her handbag/keys and ran to see it. Worth all the work for that !

[@gajukydgarage8532]

vrei sa restaurezi mini

[@arthurengelbert788]

Great attention to detail. You guys didn't cut any corners. There must have been moments where you said "Oye, what did I get myself into?!" Kudos from America.

[@RobinGWakker]

Nice job! After your Godmother dropped her handbag and ran to the car that must have been a gratifying moment for you guys. Just lovely :)

[@LeeRestoration1275]

i know im very late to the party , but totally enjoyed watching, and to see the reaction at the end - priceless !! great job Fella's

[@pucman1]

The joy on her face was priceless. Awesome work

[@hebneh]

The dog jumped up and scratched the paint! But everyone was excited and happy - including the little mutt - and so it goes.

[@suckitdipwad250]

The reveal was worth every minute and every pence. Well done!

[@MarkHolzhauer_Holzy]

Nice work! My High School buddy in Detroit drove one in 1978

[@shokomiyazaki3322]

Love that build ,especially the last 2 minutes that's what minis are all about ...HAPPY MEMORIES !

[@RardyD]

It’s now for sale as it’s no longer used…..but she has enjoyed it immensely!

[@fredjones1238]

with all the dog scratches included free of charge cool little car had a 67 Austin Cooper S in the mid 70'S in ZEW ZEALAND i need my head read for trading it in on a hillman minx wagon good car bad decision

[@aramax1001]

Farahd, that beautiful machine is just as cute as you are!! I loved the ending!! It was all worth it, to see the joy & happiness on your mum's face!!

[@staric4863]

Nice resto, done in the rules of the Art, to me. What a nice gift also. It warms the heart ;).

[@glpilpi6209]

Beyond restoration , that's a NEW 1962 car now .

[@Xpp.]

I think she was very happy !! Lovely work guys 👌

[@DanaTheInsane]

You are a saint. I love these stories so much. You give me a little little faith in humanity in a singularly horrible time.

[@magnum357225]

Great video, very nice way of surprising someone special. Im planing to do this for my sister in a couple of months for finishing her masters.

[@davideast5987]

It brought back so many memories of the different parts as they were pulled out and restored. I had 13 Mini's starting with a 1962 just like this one. Thanks

[@Santiago-iv7oi]

Turned out to be beautiful God bless

[@stevenperi1661]

Didnt realise why all that fabrication and welding but now I do, amazing job from 2 craftsmen

[@johnrepecki8820]

A great video and it was good to see the lady so happy at the end. Thanks for posting.

[@everydaysalvage]

The ending was the best. Super job!

[@ratheeshthottakath]

+amnetworkonline Yes that's touching & great!!

[@waynegoff764]

That's fourth we've got all three gears? Ha Ha. Nice job on the car. That was one very grateful recipient.

[@jafxdwg]

Thanks for the memories ... Totally enjoyed your build. My first car was a '62 Morris Mini 850 I got as a 15year old in 1967. I got it from a guy my Dad knew who raced a Cooper S at Mosport. Mine had a '65 engine and a Cooper S First gear (That meant straight cut with no synchros for first.) I got a chuckle on your first shift into 3rd. Funny how that crunch immediately caused a flashback. Originally white with a black roof, I got it painted 69 Corvette Hugger Orange. That cost me $70 at the local Body Shop. Sanding ? ..All my pals on the street helped out on that one :) - We used sand paper cause nobody had a power sander. That made for lifelong friends and shared memories til today. Thanks again from Canada John

[@gomosh6967]

Wow! That is very sweet of you to present a beautiful Mini for your godmother. Good Job! :):)

[@Benswan187]

Enjoyed your video so much, fantastic job!👍

[@niffty64]

Congrats on a awesome original restoration. reaction at the end priceless. That car will be cherished.

[@petejessop]

I did a lot of work in the 60/70`s on minis. Just spent a lovely 30 mins watching you work on this. First class, well done, brought back many nice memories.

[@pacquit0diaz]

even dog is very happy :)

[@klasdykhoff8422]

Fantastic job! Congratulations!

[@markpenn4831]

Beautiful restoration mate !!!

[@DrDreggs1]

Love the hard work you guys put into these projects. Wonderful to see.

[@hasbeengood]

Well done guys!

[@nifty1940]

Thanks Scotsman, a great job from an Aussie who knows diddly-squat about restoration and cars, but admires those who do.

[@Markwakz1a]

Superb - really enjoyed this video - well done, a proper restoration!

[@tigertigerpantherfox3714]

This is Brilliant! Especially the reaction at the end. Ive had 8 Classic Minis & had to replace panels on most of them but this is just superb!

[@kashioable]

thoroughly enjoyed the video! and the ending was adorable! congratulations

[@geofftefl]

Awesome! Epic rebuild, just magnificent! Especially poignant for me, my first car was a 62 Morris 850 in English Grey with 21,000 miles, bought 2nd hand by my 18 year old self 50 years ago this year. You've done a fantastic job bringing a clapped old piece of history back to life. Brought a tear to my eye. Congratulations, I hope she's good for another 55 years and more.

[@YouTubestopsharingmyrealname]

She's so happy!

[@oliveirainvestments2884]

Terrific....!... I was so glad for her... well done! all the effort payed for this amazing smile .... great video... great achivement ..great tutorial...Regards Pablo De Oliveira - Brazil

[@ronbean7243]

Well done guys best hand over ......

[@chiggychiggy4996]

Well done to all involved and beautifully engineered.

[@dudleypearce4452]

Great job, from a crossed the pool. In Canada, I play around with cars too and know the work that went into this. Thanks for making the video, Again GREAT JOB!!!

[@Hertog_von_Berkshire]

Ah memories of my Dad's Traveller, 157 RUO. A couple of years older IIRC.

[@roger8750]

Wonderful job,like the way you re used period parts ,oil filter,dynamo etc. You are a hero sir well done.

[@jw4620]

[@alphonselare37]

[@ianjones4071]

Love it great work,God bless you boys

[@stevemcilroy9518]

Great job, happy customer.

[@hideouslyugly]

Lovely video, and lovely ending. My first car in 1982 when I was 19 was a mini, an 'S' reg, (1978), in Sandglow yellow.It was beautiful. I smashed it up, hitting a parked Bedford Luton van, and I was so upset!.Well done on this restoration.

[@notoriousbrothers]

A beautiful labour of love ,,,,,,, loved the vid too; nothing too superlifous. Great job .

[@AndreiGajzago]

Excellent job!

[@IllusivePrime]

My dream to own one and turn it into the red Mini for the Italian Job film.

[@chrissharkey2531]

hats off to you that mini was dead a real labour of love

[@noriotuboi5237]

+Bert Skidmore Thanks!

[@Polecat54941]

[@pedrolandaacurio]

Pretty great restoration, but the best at the end, congrats mate!

[@mrk1075]

[@n17whlronnie92]

Great job, done the mini proud, Here Feb 2021

[@lahoz6]

Un gran regalo!

[@maltcrispy]

love her reaction

[@turulmagyar2768]

Great job!

[@JamesMossR33]

Awesome job! It was heart warming to see her reaction to to the reveal and finding out it was hers. Well done. My biggest regret is not finishing my '77 850 rebuild back in the late 80s/early 90s. It was 'that' close to being finished, I even drove it a few yards, and, well, circumstances changed and after it sitting outside on the farm for years it went off for scrap. I never want to see a wire wheel or sander again in my life though. If there's a next time I'll get as much as possible media blasted and powder coated!

[@oneillmerdith4695]

lovely job

[@TheDieselbutterfly]

turned out nice. ..turned out nice

[@gavinmathew7491]

Very nice. Thank you.

[@MichaudDaniel]

It is perfect , you did a great job.

[@63mrl]

Nice work.

[@MikeLoney]

Brings back so many happy memories. My first car was a '62 Morris Mini 850 too. Had s much fun in it and spent many hours modifying the engine to get more power. Cam, carbs, exhaust, cylinder head and so on. Thanks for the video. I really enjoyed it. (By the way - please don't insult the Morris Mini by calling it an Austin!!! :-).

[@paulstewart5765]

mini mk1 1962 excellent what a great job top marķs

[@carsfabio]

Emotivo video! Magnífico trabajo! Saludos desde Argentina.

[@davidtorres4113]

Great job bud!!

[@philipcarthy2977]

Surely it would have been cheaper getting a new shell, the clean up on the engine was fantastic.

[@jaggass]

Mini floorpans were notorious for rust. My friend had one and the floorpans on his disappeared.

[@user-hs5ms4uq7k]

Какая радость 😊 мужчины вы осчастливили человека👏👍🔥

[@miguelmunozcatalan4586]

Nice happy end.

[@theglumrant9477]

[@davidjeffery9972]

brilliant job. you can't beat it a lot of hard work and the end of it all a great looking car. done a few myself and it is hard but well worth it.

[@svatoplukhavrys9715]

Krásná práce,gratuluji.

[@stebenit]

good restoration top work guys, nice pressy aswell...

[@karpkatcher1070]

My very first car at 17. A clipper blue MK1 Mini, reg 98 RPK. Now days the number plate would be worth more than the car when it was brand new. Eventually, front wheel drive would become the norm, but a lovely car, well done guys.

[@tombob671]

Great job and great guys there and I am guessing you did it for a great lady.

[@wilsondtechguy9464]
