The BEST Tool I Have Bought This Year! BIG BOGEY PART 2 - The Rollover Jig

[@LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTER]

BRAIN FART ANNOTATIONS FOR THIS VID :- i did plug welding, when i did the voiceover i just didnt think. originally these panels would have been spot welded, but because i dont have a spot welder i plug welded with a mig welder. it wasn't obvious this video is not sponsored in any way, i just emailed roll over jigs to ask about the postage options, and they replied before i had a chance to think. which definitely contributed to the decision, and now its done! and in the middle of this project i can say a jig is very handy! however you can get away with the slightly cheaper one i think. the wheels and frame while they are useful to move around and flip the car for filming, in somewhere where it doesnt need to move! its not necessary :). anyways!

Your "patina" is absolutely fantastic! I literally can't tell the before and after from the video! PS: In case you didn't know, there are drill bits designed for car spot welds!

[@LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTER]

thanks! funnily enough i have that drill bit! and i just cant for whatever reason get it to work very well haha. its most likely me that is the problem! but a 5mm drill bit i personally have found to have the most success. i have quite a good handle on not drilling too far. so its worked out ok so far!

Are they specially hardened or something? You sparked my curiosity!

[@JeremyMakesThings]

Love it. I also love the “it looks bodged but it’s not bodged” approach. And if you, or someone else, want to make it look not bodged later, it’s got a good foundation. You’ll also find that there’s not too much that feels better than getting a project like this to the point where you can work on it without rust falling off.

[@Jonathan_Doe_]

Pink is actually more high vis than yellow, so from a not tripping on it/walking into it perspective, the pink makes a lot of sense.

[@LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTER]

haha well it was from a thought of the thumbnail so yeah same thing! pink and green i was thinking ha

[@Darwinpasta]

We lost two irrigation valve wrenches before I thought to paint one bright pink. Hasn't gone missing since!

[@althejazzman]

Except if you're red-green colourblind like me where some subtle shades of pink appear almost grey because red is my weak colour and green is my strong colour.

[@Deedumdee]

A power finger file belt sander thingmabob is what you want for all that grinding. Was SO much nicer for tidying welds when I was doing my car last year than trying to be delicate with an angle grinder, especially in awkward spaces. The blue belts seem to be the thing for metal.

[@bigsaggyvaag]

I'm with you 100% on the aesthetics, especially not hiding the repars. I think it's nice to let the car tell it's story, to me it's far more beautiful than any new paint job could make it.

Great job, love the idea of patina, don't overthink it, or worry about others, there are enough minis in the world still around to ensure we all know what a mint survivor is, this one is yours and should reflect you so go for it!

[@ukuleletyke]

You’re making superb progress. I’m very impressed with your replication of the weathered paint- on screen, you can’t see it’s been done. I find a lot of classic car people don’t quite ‘get’ that kind of thing, but they’re only ‘original’ once!

[@althejazzman]

I would say it's Certified Good Enough!

[@jimtron66]

Nice! A lot of hard work and dedication! And quite a fetching "dust moustache". Strangely, during the more destructive parts of the rebuild I'm reminded of "Trigger's Broom". Hopefully this rebuild won't take 20 years...

[@djsmeguk]

Love the pink spit roaster. And that sound. "Audio samples courtesy of rusted mini on a pink spit roast" perfection!

[@abpsd73]

A friend of my bought a rotisserie for his car restoration. So much nicer when you can position the car body where you can work comfortably.

[@rosserobertolli]

Loving it! I did a lot of welding cars as a side gig. A very nice bit of kit is a manual sheet metal hole punch, it is a lot quicker, easier and neater than drilling. I also used pizza/cerealbox cardboard for patterns. Just put it over of the hole and press on the edges, you will get a pretty neat imprint of the hole, even if it is contoured. And lastly, those seams that were the origin of all the rust will be again and it is very hard to prevent this. There are some weld primers and stuff but with my 2cv I decided to dunk the whole thing in a bath of zinc. Quite expensive but after that your bodywork will stay in tact. I left mine just blank zinc (like street lanterns and stuff). Nice job! Loving the non polished but sound approach

[@Synthrelaiser]

when i reworked my calibra i build myself one of these, just as for the 700kg of the calibra frame it had to be way more durable... it was massive and weight 250kg alone... really great work sam - it's really nice to see someone like me having totally different hobbys and just enjoying all of them! ^_^

[@JesperD87]

Very impressive! 💪 On a side note: I'm hoping there will be a video in the future on those deliciously looking electrical cabinets and (I assume) telephone exchange cabinets. Keep up the good work!

[@burntorangeak]

Literally every mini that can be brought back to life will be completed before binky. (Thank you for the varied content)

[@SprocketN]

Seeing the bottom of your Mini reminded me of my first car. A Ford Escort Mk1, given to me by my Mum as the car dealer they were getting their new car from gave them a bigger discount than Escort was worth in part exchange. The Escort was a two door with seat that tipped forward so you could get in the back. The floor was so rusty it was only the carpet that stopped the passenger seat dragging on the road. Obviously it didn’t pass its next MOT so it was scrapped. I had it for about nine months. I didn’t carry passengers, in the front.

[@TC_here]

Reminds me of project binky, they had a similar jig, A great bit of engineer! The noise as it rotates 😂

[@FreviriousQuigby]

generally full restorations are more satisfying to watch, but in this case this car has a story and you're preserving that, which is a beautiful idea

[@peterschwegler2377]

There was a time when I waited for new episodes of 'project binky' or 'look mum no computer' Nowadays its just waiting for one channel to see it all 😅

[@Ziraya0]

It's really inspiring and also kind of crushing how this this vehicle was designed in a way that makes repairing so much damage extremely possible. The parts aren't free and this many isn't cheap, but you can just get them, you can just put them on with basic tools. Almost everything I own would be an ordeal to repair comparable damage, not just the doing but the how. Anyway I'm now enamored with Mini Cooper Pickups so thanks.

i remember when i was training for car body work one of the things we did was take an old classic mini and and lowered the roof to it.. if i lived more local to you i would have offered to give you a hand restoring it.. use to work on a lot of old classic cars in the day.. give me an english wheel and a sheet of steel hehe.. and i could easy knock all them dents out of the panels making them look new.. but its a restoration and some peeps love to keep the dents and dings.. as its the cars history.. others want a total restoration looking like showroom quality.. :)

I was shopping for a model car painting jig this morning and at first I thought that's what this video was!

[@rottweiler9535]

Good job, i really like your attitude of you doing what you want and making it look like a well used old car, but safe and functional, really good job on matching the paint work, everyone is obsessed with making things like new or perfect rather than making a gfood driveable car, safe and reliable is better than a garage queen of a car, i have a similar thing going with my nissan figaro, it has a few dings and dents, but its 100% mechanically sound and im going to drive the hell out of that car. cars are ment to be used not looked at. again good job

@@LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTER Try to weld some well thought of "English Wheel" made U profile shape uninterrupted length of sheet metal to reinforce those 2 weak simple sheets to give to strength to the body to prevent flexing when steering. since you currently have easy access to the chassis. think that would make the car a lot more interesting to drive.

As someone who’s had to do a lot of overhead welding codes/work. This is the way. Avoid overhead welding if you can help it. Even with a full welding balaclava, an air fed mask, full overalls, welding sleeves, gloves and boots, you still end up getting burned.
