MST Cars Factory, Mk1 Bodyshell Manufacturing

[@SwiftSlots]

I think it's amazing that one car from history has become so popular over the years that it has become fully viable to fully remanufacture it !!!! Nice to see and well done.

[@charleswatson7281]

Strewth these boys are organised …😀👍

[@pikefisherman1978]

I just need to get those magic 6 numbers now. It would be awesome if you guys could make an MST Capri. 🤞

[@ThePhilGrimm]

I guess I'll need a EuroMillions win to commission one in carbon fibre.

[@grumpyone1932]

Amazing wish I still had my mk1 Mexico

[@philco7044]

I had BCV 40K MK 1 Mexico Monza Blue White Decals , is it still around ?

[@stevee4467]

Amazing to see the shells in early production stage, fascinating stuff 👍

[@ROFPR7]

It’s just a fantastic thing that you have done what you’re doing and I hope that it will continue for a long time And I will be banging on your door the minute I get to a place where I can buy one of these beautiful vehicles ❤️

[@downtherange]

Absolutely amazing love it watching the progress of a new shell then car it’s self… Magic MST ✨👍🏻🏁🏁🏁

[@lleo100]

I just want one that simple. Please Santa

[@gixxerthouk4]

bought my first car mk1 in 1980 and wish i still had it. After all the cars i`ve owned since that was the best bye far loved it.

[@bigpete4227]

These lads must be a nightmare down the pub. So what do you do for a living? I make mk1 escort rally cars from scratch... how are you supposed to trump that ?😅

[@peterknight4692]

Great job if new shells can be made for minis and mgbs, new shells should be possible for mk1 and the mk2 escorts - especially given how many get written off in classic rallying.

[@dean754]

Love watching you guys work. Was a bit surprised to see grinding and welding on a painted car though? Care to share?

[@davidhackney9944]

Just wondering how many people it takes to make this piece of art?

[@carwynellis5040]

2 people, approx 6 weeks per bodyshell

[@LabFan369]

Do you rub down the black panel paint before painting ?

[@carwynellis5040]

Yes we do, all rubbed down to bare metal inside and out

[@LabFan369]

@@carwynellis5040 Excellent 😏

[@s_p_onarge8720]

Are they all your own panels or are they magnum stuff or what?

[@rodderyup7401]

Amateur question : what reg. plate do new shells get given

[@MST_Cars]

They are refgistered on current reg plates

[@Fester_]

At 2 minutes in the unfinished shells are then sold and shipped to Jaguar for them to use in 2025.

[@davidklauer3422]

Very cool That coming from a state side muscle car dude

[@taffymk1244]

You need todo a 4 hole front pane?l

[@Deltic55-mw4bo]

first

[@jamesoconnor3017]

Have you got any film footage of these cars being crash tested by NCAP please ? Considering the price you charge for these cars, I just like to see how safe they are!

[@bugattieb110ss]

I'd suggest they're safer than anything else on the road considering they have a full roll cage!

[@marcthomas-b6p]

No seam sealant or anti corrosion treatment ?

[@MST_Cars]

Seam sealing is done at the nest stage, body and paint

[@marcthomas-b6p]

@MST_Cars in the clip where he was welding the IRS cage on that car looked like it was already painted?

[@carwynellis5040]

@@marcthomas-b6p Yes this was initially built as the EVO concept car, now its being converted to our tarmac rally car :)

[@oliveringram3056]

They are going to be driven by Rally Drivers, so back in a fortnight for a rebuild. Metal doesn't rust in that time.....🤣🤣🤣🤣
