It’s nice to sit with my feet up and watch Steve do all the work !! 😂

Lavori facili...alla portata di tutti...bello lavorare sulle mini😊

Just like working on Australian cars, so nice to not have to deal with 50 years of salt ravaged corrosion! Great little project 👍

good video... regards from Chile! ... A Mini Fun

More like watching Blue Peter than a Mini subframe strip! never see one come apart without the use of hammers, saws, explosives...superb condition for it's age.Usually a case of bolts shearing off, seized parts, crud everywhere.Great project, look forward to future episodes

Yes we were fully expecting to get the power tools out. Amazing really and a credit to the warmer climate.

Every other KZbin Mini restorer is currently sobbing behind their stripped knuckles 😂

I'm jealous of how easily that subframe came apart! Recently did the same job on a completely solid rust-free Mk4 frame, but still had to use a grinder and deal with loads of stubborn fixings 😂

Back in 1971 my 1963 Mini sub-frame came out just as easily. I hit it with a hammer and it fell out with most of the boot floor. The radius arms and all their fittings had dissolved as well.

It’s amazing how easy that strip down was, you’ve got a gem of a car

[@gafrers]

Wonderful. Coming apart so easily and cleanly

[@mzaaimabakar243]

Brilliant👍

Man I miss the sound of a good air impact in videos like this. Air tools make the job so much faster and smoother.

No Salt!

Steve was the ado 16 ever fitted with a dry suspension and if so can i fit cones to my Wolseley 1155. Im in Cape Town,SA

[@10zoll]

ive dismantled a lot of subframes and even a crashed 4 year old 91 Cooper that we stripped for parts wasnt that easy.

[@dionv2929]

Looks like a typical strip down of a SA subframe.... we don't have real rust 😉

[@kevbarry7453]

Rhodesian soil.....probably copper ore mixed with diamond dust!!

[@paulrobinson3528]

If that was my car i would be using every nut,bolt and washer for originality, labelling & bagging everything individually. If you can't reuse all that stuff from a rust free car, when can you!!!!
