Classic Mini Restoration Crossmember Repair Welding

[@markdraper7]

Lovely welding mate!👌The heat is a problem for me too and not been in the garage for a few weeks. Once the heat gets in, it's very difficult to get it out. Might have to consider Air con 😅

[@PocketRocketGarage]

Air con! Check you out, still got a lot of repair work to do this side and then the sill on the passenger side, so the whole process again! 😝😆

Those Hello Fresh food package quilts have many uses!!

[@PocketRocketGarage]

What can I say! I like to up cycle… thanks for watching Hamish! You will defo get a sticker once they arrive for that comment 👍🏻

What a good idea to use the MDF. Thanks for sharing.

[@PocketRocketGarage]

Thanks mark, in the video that will be out soon I have ended up replacing the crossmember end after all that work! 🤣

[@Conor.Twomey]

Very neat work repairing the cross member.

[@PocketRocketGarage]

Thanks Conor, glad you are still following the build, the rust is pretty insane how it is between every single seam, looking forward to getting this side complete

Thanks Nick! Appreciate the support, hope you enjoyed the video

[@Cat_Man9045]

I’ll be happy for when your next video comes out!!

[@velmathemini]

The crossmember you've repaired is 💯. Nice work 👏🏻. Also I bet inside the garage feels like you're in a greenhouse 🥵. I've not even ventured in my garage for that reason alone. The jokes are funny & cheesey at the same time. Love the humour 😄 😀 👌🏻.

[@PocketRocketGarage]

Thanks Rick, very very hot, still a huge amount to do but I’m doing my best to get the repairs to a high level and I am very fussy about the welding, the videos and the resto are going in the right direction, thanks for supporting it

[@Tomostuneups]

My man, well done!! You don’t realize how bad some jobs are or why they take so long for professionals to do it, let alone yourself to tackle them. You’ve got some really good tips in the video and really break it down for people to understand what goes into repairing rust. Very proud my friend, well done 🙌🏼

[@PocketRocketGarage]

It’s turning into a labour of love 😄🔧 I hate rust! Thanks buddy ✌🏼

[@TheGentlemensMotorRacingTeam]

very nice work sir - that cross member repair is quality - well done

[@PocketRocketGarage]

Thanks dude, It’s gotta be done correctly, some of the previous welding repairs did not look safe! Still plenty left to do

[@MiniMattTV]

Such a rusty mini. Well done for getting out in the heat and cracking on. Glad the new earth clamp has helped and you’ve dialled it in now. Should be able to fly through it now mate!

[@PocketRocketGarage]

To think it only failed the mot for a small hole in the boot!!! Thanks Matt the motivation….. much needed

[@SimpsonsClassics]

Great video buddy first of all those seat brackets look great. Also regarding the door step bare in mind he profile is often not the best. So if you can get away with using a part of the door step repair panel I would. Preservation 💪🙄

[@PocketRocketGarage]

Yes I know it will take longer and a lot more welding but I just do not want to cut out the original doorstep….Thanks dude! 👍🏻

[@SimpsonsClassics]

@@PocketRocketGarage exactly buddy preservation for sure. All the best with it 👍

[@Bertsretrorides]

Looks mint mate!! Lovely job. I liked the bracket hold you made for whilst you painted them, I'm going to steal that idea! 😁

[@PocketRocketGarage]

Thanks Burt, the brackets came out killer! I love refurbishing original parts. Thanks for watching and I have just subbed to your channel 🤘🏻🚀

[@Bertsretrorides]

@@PocketRocketGarage cheers mate 👍. Appreciate it.

[@tbex9580]

Nice welding mate. Hope mine is half as good when I get going after the tear down.

[@PocketRocketGarage]

Any help I can give you just shout 🤘🏻
