Building a Classic Mini Cooper mk1 to FIA race spec with Swiftune | Day 1 pre-paint work.

Alex Brundle heads down to Swiftune Engineering to start putting the Brundle Motorsport Mini together.
Day one involves the ‘pre paint’ work, to make sure the chassis doesn’t need any more holes, changes or mounting points before it goes to paint.
This one has been a long time in the making so stage tuned through this series to see how the build progresses.

You had me at Classic Mini. My first car was a 1972 Mini Clubman.

Another Awesome Video Alex, I race a Hyundai Excel (might have to look it up) in Australia, through ur videos I’ve really developed a love of all things classic motorsport! Love it keep it up and if you’re ever in Australia come show me how to drive my race car properly 🏎️

[@BillyKraut]

Hahahaha they are flat out in the background so two steps forward. One back:

[@ChrisandHeathervanlife]

I assume the regulations allow you to use the later remote gear linkage rather than the mk1 pudding stick.

[@BrundleBTW]

@@ChrisandHeathervanlife it’s a 4 speed dog box as well. So all racing internals. The original gearboxes are just incapable of racing speed

[@The_BenboBaggins]

I wish I never sold my '81 998 Mini City - I need to win the lottery now to get another! 😢

[@ianbrown9082]

Is that a complete new shell?

[@BrundleBTW]

Recovered shell

[@andrewnewnes7831]

I wondered what happened to the banners from Goodwood...now i know..

[@BrundleBTW]

Haha rumbled

[@bradvermont9242]

Pull it all back out to paint the shell now?

[@BrundleBTW]

Yes, had to make sure we didn’t have to put any more holes in

[@lunarweasel]

I know it’s dreadfully cheesy, but any chance of a Mr Bean livery/style? :)

[@BrundleBTW]

Hahaha no!

[@lunarweasel]

@@BrundleBTW Thanks for the reply. best of luck with the Mini. I’m glad to see your affection for hardtop Mustangs vs fastbacks. :) I have a 65 V8 with a four speed. A glorious beast. :)
