My £500 Bargain Mini Cooper is Back on the Road!! But at What Cost? pt3

[@paulabbott5881]

Love your content, not all glitzy, just real workmanship, well done mate

[@cashmachinecars]

Thank you I appreciate it!

[@imapadlock]

You can’t argue with your work ethic and tenacity. Fair play chap 👍👍

[@DanSmithBK]

Nice effort! The SPI is considered the best of the mini engines... you’ll see at least three times your money back on that!

[@tribbs2000]

Bloomin well done !

[@Greek2me.]

Congratulations! Well done.

[@cashmachinecars]

Thank you!

[@jonbrookes77]

Great result - enjoy for the summer 😎

[@nealstinchcombe3799]

Inspirational stuff. Hope your foot gets better soon.

[@francispalmer9737]

What a great job you have done on a budget and on your own. Back in the mid 80's I had a 1275 GT mini with the Webasto sunroof which I got from swapping my Honda 125 CD benly motorbike for. The mini was bright pink lol but I stripped the paint did the body work and lots of similar things you have done to this mini. I got my painter mate to paint it Rosso red for 100 quid with Paint he had left from a Ferrari paint job he had done. Put the original White1275 decals down the bottom sides of the doors and White painted wheels made it look a million dollars. Wish I still had it. Nice one Cash Machine

[@cashmachinecars]

Thank you! Nice I bet that looked fantastic in rosso red!! Would be worth a pretty penny now!

[@craigcarter3256]

You're a wizard Harry! Just superb....Just messaged you matey. 😊

[@stuartanderson3228]

Top speed

[@Polecat54941]

That was impressive and an unbelievable bargain!

[@Watchstudo]

Brilliant work, well done you!

[@cashmachinecars]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@rhiantaylor3446]

Great video. Resist the temptation to splurge a lot of cash e.g. on paint, you might well not get it back in increased sales value.

[@cashmachinecars]

Agreed! Although I could probably paint it myself for around £400, but it's a lot of time and effort if it goes wrong 🤦

[@cook5381]

I like your videos. Nice straightforward presentation, no ego or histrionics, good budget fixes. I like the fact you often work outside, just like a lot of us do or did. Great job on the mini, thanks.

[@cashmachinecars]

Thank you I appreciate that a lot! 🙏

[@nickt5361]

Great work - have really enjoyed your mini episodes 🙏

[@cashmachinecars]

Thank you 🙏

[@Haslam333]

Love it mate

[@SkylarkCamperAdventures]

Fantastic job 👍

[@nomd29]

Great work and video

[@SimpsonsClassics]

Nice video dude! You have smashed that budget also 👍

[@alzeNL]

What fantastic work keeping the mini and other lovely old cars on the road - and with amazing savings ! With your skills I'd suggest looking out for a Jaguar XK8 with the huge 4.2 engine in it, they are nortiorious for rust, but you know you way around a welding kit and cutter - you'd probably pick up a failed MoT pretty cheap and with your skills would get it back on the road nicely ! (no you cant have my xk8, its cost me way too much :D)

[@cashmachinecars]

Thank you very much! I've always wanted an XK8! Like you say I could probably get an MOT failure quite cheap, 😂 are they good to drive I've never had one or even been in one?

[@alzeNL]

@@cashmachinecars oh yes, i love mine, i tell myself each year to get rid of it, but i love it so much. It chews out the jap boy racers, the engine is huge and still powerful, lets just say it hits the speed limit pretty quick. I keep it for the ocassional drive now and then, but it has done some amazing distances and is incredbly comfortable, as well as fast. If you got a garage, get the coupe version :)

[@derbyjohn972]

Fantastic work again mate give yourself a massive pat on the back 👍🏻👍🏻. New camera comes over mint 👍🏻. The road to the MOT place looks like a road I used to drive in Norfolk 😅😅

[@cashmachinecars]

Thank you! Haha it's a fun road that when it's not full of sheep and cows 😉

[@MiniMattTV]

Amazing job! Well done for that budget that’s incredible! Hope you enjoy it for a while as is 👌🏻

[@cashmachinecars]

Thank you Matt been loving driving it so far! 👍

[@henntendo]

Wonderful work

[@cashmachinecars]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@barryamos4920]

Well done pleased for you you deserve it and I admire your determination enjoy your drive

[@oldskool9046]

YAAY!😃well done mate, absolutely fantastic, brilliant job you have saved another Classic mini from the clutches of it being scrapped, Have lots of fun driving your Cooper around until you do the full resto on it, can't wait to see more videos of your Mini 👍😃

[@cashmachinecars]

Thank you I will 👍

[@chrismadge7292]

Great job. More videos on the 924 please 😊

[@cashmachinecars]

Coming soon I promise 👍

[@RodLittle]

Fantastic result, for all your hard work!

[@sonofjak1971]

Great job, well done. Looking forward to seeng the 924 progress.

[@cashmachinecars]

Thank you! You and me both!

[@TheNewStoryteller]

I don't put suds on my windscreen it clogs up the windscreen squirters that can stop the water spitting.

[@MapleMarmite]

What a transformation. A lot of work to get it there but you came out on top, for sure. I had several Minis years ago but the newest was a ‘77. Sure wish I still had the ‘75 pickup. 👍🏻

[@mickreid7153]

Fab work on a tight budget! 👏👏🙋‍♂️

[@nallanotae4290]

Superb… puts me too shame that my poor mini van is just sitting around waiting for me to get it finished…

[@mrwhite292]

Well done, another one saved, excellent job.

[@cashmachinecars]

Thank you 🙏

[@lukas0846]

Well done mate, fantastic job!

[@peetjepoo]

i love your hand but nice fix and repair 👍

[@fossilfish786]

Drive it as it is, it has charm being a little ratty. Nice work

[@cashmachinecars]

Thanks it is a bit but mechanicaly it drives spot on, great fun!

[@hughfranklin386]

Coventry registration ❤

[@P4ULC71]

dont forget to make the trailer arches removable lol .)

[@cashmachinecars]

Haha I won't! Tbh the whole trailer needs a proper overhaul!

[@philtucker1224]

I think average condition classic minis are going for about 8k ?

[@TheNewStoryteller]

A frog!? What's that doing on your drive? It reminds me of some frogs I've seen on my drive from Tullah to Kingston.

[@cashmachinecars]

Unfortunately for me my working conditions are very similar to a frogs! 🤣🤣

[@TheNewStoryteller]

@@cashmachinecars I wonder if you'd find it again.

[@philtucker1224]

So you took it to an MOT with a duff headlight? WTF?

[@Chillibeard]

998 for a 1275 😄
