Classic Mini restoration: Eleanor video 85, Door fitment and hinge repair

[@jamesbarrie2965]

Felt your pain when the bolt snapped and how quickly it escalated. Nice find with the replacement hinge.

[@DBMiniDIY]

Yeah frustrating but better at this stage than nearer the end of the resto, im sure it wont be thd last one either

I've been digging around your old videos am I'm about to start on my resto, you've done a great job so far. Nice to hear a friendly accent too, I'm Dundee based.

Thanks, Ive covered pretty much everything I have done to the cars and vans since I started the channel. Living in Dundee im sure you can relate to how challenging this can be at times with the lovely scottish weather

[@evansisgreat]

Yeah, and that's just summer! I've got a decent sized garage too, so hopefully I'll squeeze it all in (currently in a storage barn). Do you have a build thread anywhere?

Looks like you had fun with the hinge 😬. Glad you've got somewhere with it. I feel lucky because mine came out easy. I've just finished my door skins & I didn't enjoy it with trying to get the door to fit in the hole with the new skin on.

[@DBMiniDIY]

One little bolt.....and chaos😂 Ive a few doors to skin so will be getting good at it hopefully by the time I get to these ones

Quite a tussle with the hinges. In my limited experience, the roll pins tend to break rather than wear out. Best wishes.

Yeah i got lucky with this one

I’m enjoying the mini videos as I am renovating a mini myself keep up the good work. Can I ask what software do you use to make your videos? Cheers
