Way to go! Content, detail and confidence all of professional standard after only 3 videos. Replace all parts hard to get to when the subframe is in place. Do everything properly once and Paddington will repay you for many years to come. Keep the videos coming, I’m feeling very nostalgic. A well presented reminder of my youth. Thank you.

Thank you Graham. I've just seen that Paddington 3 is coming to cinemas in November. Definitely going to have to see that one. 🤣🤣

Wow, how long have you been a ‘mechanic’ , very impressed, all great stuff. I highly recommend the Minispares subframe - MS45D or MS45LATE (currently out of stock). Half the price of genuine and that rust will just come back on that old one (time and money wasted), trust me, been there done that. Also join the ‘the mini forum’, £5. tell mini spares and they’ll give you 7.5% discount on everything (except sales items) - I’m not affiliated, just love minis (it’s a problem 🤣

I'm more of a hobby mechanic, during weekends for fun. Just started teaching myself really! I restored my motorbike when I was 22 and that took a year. Then I had a small gap and finally a year ago I invested in this work shop and started this mini!my first car project.

Good work, would have removed the bootlid first to give you better access inside the boot. Personally, i wouldnt bother with shotblast and powdercoat, just wire wheel it back to bare metal, some rust treatment and a few coats of black smooth hammerite does the same job and is cheaper. Would recommend using uprated orange polybushes though on your mounts when you rebuild it, id also do the same to to the radius arms, get them repinned and replace all the moving parts.

@@karlgt9989 Thank you for the tips ☺️
