Mini Miglia / Libra Looks Sweet, Ford 100e Hillclimb Plans + Welding Classes are going well!

[@derekcomer4858]

I’m not surprised that cost is an issue with completing the build and then going racing. Running any sort of business in this country is insanely difficult at the moment, materials have pretty much doubled in cost in a few years and customers with spare cash are in very short supply. The standard of your work is absolutely first class, I hope you can get the mini built to your satisfaction eventually Matt.

[@Urchfab]

It’s definitely tough. It will get there eventually bud. Cheers 🍻

[@sh3dart]

Thanks for the kind words and feature Matt @urchfab I'm glad you like the shots, it was great fun working on them for you 😁😁

[@Urchfab]

Your work speaks for itself mate. Hope to do something again with you in the future 👍

[@riktanius]

These are great! I will definitely be reaching out for creating an Innocenti model for me. Thanks!

[@kittonsmitton]

Great to see you back, Names on the Mini for those who donate to get it finished, put up the cost for breaks for example and ask for donations, as you check items off, put up the next bit you need. Post the work scroll the names of the donors at the end with the promise of their names on the Mini?

[@YootubeUK]

Very nice render! 3DSmax and AutoCad take a bit of effort to get your head around but it feels satisfying once you get close to building a model, similar to building real cars. That Mini will be MEGA! Great content as always.

[@malcolmyoung7866]

Great to hear the welding classes are doing so well.. looking forwards to see MUSHY pea’s hill climb stiff begin. That Mini is almost as awesome.. great talent!

[@Urchfab]

Cheers 🍻

[@malcolmhales8181]

Great video. Having built a mini miglia myself back in the early 90s I know your pain. The costs can get out of hand really quickly. I managed a whole season before having to sell it due to "personal" issues. Keep at it though, they're really fun to drive.

[@koosdemeyer9105]

Thanks!

[@Urchfab]

That’s awesome, thank you 🙏

[@argee55]

Glad to hear the the welding classes are going well.

[@christophevigneux4821]

[@Urchfab]

C'est très gentil, merci beaucoup

[@kevinhamling1963]

G'day, Seeing you compete in hillclimb events will be awesome. Thanks for sharing the update man ✌️ Peace from Melbourne Australia.

[@Urchfab]

No problem, Cheers

[@StevenStratford]

Very cool project..just started restoring my reliant kitten...mini looks like great inspiration..thanks

[@Son_of_Nyango]

sweet minty fresh minis of doom! that looks sick! 👌

[@BenRelle]

Good luck with the hillclimb - I get to Shelsley, so hope to see you there!

[@trevorjarvis3021]

Wow Matt doesn’t the mini look great in its “finished” state - absolutely brilliant. So pleased for you that the welding classes have taken off - I cannot think of a better person to instruct people than your good self, passing on your skills, it doesn’t get any better than that. 👍👏😊

[@Urchfab]

It does look sweet! Cheers 🍻

[@penthousetapes]

I would definitely come to your welding classes Matt, you’re an artisan when it comes to welding. The flight from Qld Australia is off putting though, maybe on line classes. Looking forward to the mushy pea hill climbs

[@Urchfab]

I've been looking into possibilities for an online class. Ill keep you posted. Cheers

[@AngusAbbott-qf8xm]

Great video, thanks for posting it 👍🏼

[@danstewart8218]

Great about the classes...I'm sure everyone is sooo much better since they got your advice. As for the Mini...Don't worry its all in hand it will happen...;D

[@Urchfab]

Cheers 🍻

[@davidlawrencebanks4610]

Nice to see you back even for a short vid,... LAG...

[@markgadsby5568]

£500 entry fee a race!!!! Thought mini racing was supposed to be budget! Outrageous

[@franciscomelendez6275]

Great Video Matt Very interesting!! What size of front discs and wheels are you using??

[@joeyc8623]

Be good to see the Pea at Wiscombe👍

[@peterbonnez]

Thanks for update..

[@markwalton8644]

Both Cars are a Credit to yourself and the Mini once done will be brilliant. Hopefully Welding classes can work for you and can bring some Good money in. Could you do Custom cars for clients and would make Great KZbin content and hopefully bring some Good Money!

[@Urchfab]

It’s an option for sure if I could find the right clients. Cheers 🍻

[@gafrers]

Great

[@audreyleithes2994]

Just a thought mini automatics had the hardy spicer drivrshafts .

[@georgegabriel4070]

Finally ❤😍👍

[@christopherj3367]

you should be able to get a 3D print from the 3D CGI/render file.

[@OtterB135]

I have sort of made this livery in Forza horizon 5 and motorsport it looks really good when driving around! if anyone wants the share codes just ask

[@colinsmith7385]

Compbrake still knocking out absolute crap 30 or so years on..............originally called Trans Auto Sport, they were so bad they had to change their name

[@nickmacmillan-ci6dj]

What radiator are you using? The Mini is a stunning thing.

[@Urchfab]

I think it’s a Vauxhall Corsa rad.

[@davem6218]

I really like those wheels. Who are they made buy?

[@Urchfab]

Specialist Components

[@koolkar55]

Looks like the "Mongrel" name has been dropped for ever? Billy J.

[@Urchfab]

No mate not completely, it seems everyone refers to it as the Mushy Pea now though.

[@jonofalltradesmasterofnone832]

How much for a race helmet?

[@Urchfab]

They start around £500 for a hans compatible fia job

[@amraceway]

In regard to seat belts has there ever been one recorded case of an out of date seat belt failing? I have never heard of a road car seat belt failing and they get used for decades, are thinner and narrower and cop daily abuse. Race car belts see very little use.How many perfectly safe belts go into land fill?

[@AnonCaliga]

Boo Hoo 😢 Please donate, booo hooo!

[@frogdxb5648]

Nothing wrong with being upfront and honest. Don’t like don’t donate 👍🏼

[@markgadsby5568]

And stop watching, go elsewhere.
