[@mikeuk1954]

This car is really turning out well. 👍

Hi Keith, loving the latest video showing the boot polish trick, IF memory serves me...they did the same thing to a vinyl roofed car on Car s.o.s! Our mini thirty has a Britax roof so, am going to try the polish

[@peterdemetriou2263]

The paintwork looks pretty good already, definitely looks better with the original wipers and mirrors 👍

[@paulrobinson3528]

4:00 I would paint the blades body colour with pink spots 😆

[@classicminidetails8887]

Thanks for the mention mate those mirrors were off my blue spi, will work nice on that car 👌its looking great. I love these type of projects putting a car back to original, much more of a challenge to do! t

[@mattoy123]

Totally agree on the black wiper arms and blades,got rid of the tacky stainless kit on mine and put black bungs and washer jets back on👍

[@MiniJay250]

IMO the standard ones look best, as Rover intended. I would always go original especially with a project like racing green that isn'd modded and very much original. Great work by the way love the videos

[@andyfry1970]

Hi Keith, it's coming together nicely hey. I'd be torn between the mirror choice, think they both look good, but then the black mirrors and wipers are a better package I guess. Seats have come up well too hey 😊

[@paulrobinson3528]

10:10 boot polish? Didn't you know that? Where you been Keith? 😆 Use that on my work boots every day, I mean every day lol.

[@classicminiworkshop]

Yeah right 🤣

[@MiniMattTV]

I’m with you on the wiper arms, black all the way! The standard mirrors are a big improvement also. The roof looks much better in green also!

[@classicminiworkshop]

The white roof is iconic with the 30th anniversary John Cooper conversions. I like the green, but i think once it has the white wheels it will look right

[@MiniMattTV]

@@classicminiworkshop yeah that’s fair enough, definitely before you start sanding try some thinners and see if the white is still good underneath.

[@dnf1903]

Hiya Keith-hope your OK. Must admit, I've used boot polish on my tyres before but never on the seats. They look good though!

[@benwood6317]

Just found your channel, loving the videos, watched a few of the 1l auto city e vids on bodywork, gives me confidense in giving it a try, should get my mini the start of next year, have big plans, your videos will be so useful, keep up the great work 👍🏻

[@classicminiworkshop]

Thanks, Ben. Welcome along 👍

[@edwardfothergill6156]

Hi Keith, I like the contrast that the shiny wipers provide. However, I haven’t used the car in the rain! What colour is the racing green you have? My Mini was originally a mustard yellow (HL) but, is now a “Cooper” with LBM56 which I thought was a standard colour? Yours looks much darker than mine.

[@recreativesigns4571]

For your seats you could chat to Phil at Cartrim Auto Upholster in Haywards Heath to get any stitching redone and badges swapped over.

[@classicminiworkshop]

Thanks Buddy, good call

[@midgelambert3880]

Keith what's the difference between a regular distributor cap and one used with an electronic ignition distributor. I've just bought an electronic ignition distributor and it had a crack in the cap. It doesn't look any different than a regular cap?

[@classicminiworkshop]

I think, if it was a factory electronic distributor it would have had a screw on cap, if it was aftermarket it would have a clipped cap. Cant be 100% sure though

[@midgelambert3880]

@@classicminiworkshop I've bought a new cap to replace the cracked one and it's just a regular cap so I'll see how it goes. My distributor has clips on it and is aftermarket from Mini Spares. Thanks for your reply!

[@yamnut1]

Also, forgot to ask what make/model is the polisher you are using?? I have a generic model from eBay but, it is set up for 7" discs/mops....the thing is too heavy and too big for the mini ! Any help would be appreciated, thanks, Brian

[@classicminiworkshop]

Hi Brian, the make is Duren. If you search ebay for Duren DA kit, it should come up

[@yamnut1]

Thanks again for taking the time to reply, I know you are always busy with the channel! The output you produce is Much appreciated, the standard of work on these cars is awesome. Carry on with the great content 👍
