Nooooo, you can't leave it on a cliffhanger like that.... Great progress, say you were pretty warm up and down with the spot welder with the weather being so hot!!

[@markdraper7]

Thank you Colin. It is very warm in there as once the heat gets in it can't get out as it's so well insulated! 😅

hello Mark, great vid, i am busy with a 76 and realize that you lads are lucky over there in the UK, as all parts are available, here in South Africa, we have to use what we can get second hand or, import which is a no no on exchange rates, never the less i enjoy the show

[@markdraper7]

Thank you Terry! We are lucky to have all the supplies on our doorstep, It definitely makes life easier. Thanks for tuning in! 😎

[@markdraper7]

Cheers Mark. I'm getting a handle on the welding now, not perfect but i'm on the right path. 😁

Hiya Mark-brilliant video. Carry on like this Mark and you can set up as MD Mini restorations UK!!! Keep well.

[@markdraper7]

Haha, thanks Dave. I'm a very long way off that mantle, but appreciate it. 😎

Great work, in a previous episode you mentioned having your displacers referbished, if they held pressure on the car best leave them alone, rehoseing is great, but the new hose will never look original.

[@markdraper7]

Thanks John! Yes, i have had them refurbished now. Although they were holding pressure, they were getting to the end of their life so i took the decision to refurb them now rather than having to take them off again once the car was completed. Ideally i would have liked to have found some NOS ones but people who may have some like to hoard rather than sell on.

[@recreativesigns4571]

I’ve waited for this so much. Great work as always.

[@markdraper7]
