Classic mini full rebuild part 3 (speedingorange)

[Hhmmmmmmmmmm]

So, did you finish her yet? Post a lonk to your project thread looks like it would be a good read :) posting a part 4 any time soon? Lol its pretty funny i ended up here from looking at fish and theres someone else who likes planted tanks and minis :)

[speedingorange]

@Hhmmmmmmmmmm Unfortunately I ended up selling her :(

However I did build another mini from scratch after the neon.

AM now driving a Turbocharged MX5 :o funny how things changed. and planted tanks rock :)

Are you doin a part 4

[speedingorange]

Once i batter the bodywork bloke into painting the doors... there will be a part 4 coming... ive built two other cars since starting this one so its been on the back burner a little...

[BubbleBathWrath]

lol where did you get ten engines from? loving the car btw.... its awesome

[mikepeople]

how long did you spend rebuilding this??....wat was the most time comsuming part ??looks good !!

[silver760]

Nice job,it doesnt look like you have stonechipped (antichip paint) the floor underside or the inner wheel arches,if it were me doing this job I would have waxoiled all the inner cavities like the sills,A posts,inside doors etc.looking forward to your next video!Thanks.

[speedingorange]

All the underside has been stonechipped, and even inside the floor to protect from heavy feet etc.

And all the cavities have been done too :)

how much was the whole restoration??

[speedingorange]

I really dont want to add it all up lol

[MiniMagic1]

Looking good, i have been doing mine for nearly 5 years, but the body was much worse. Guess its cost you a fortune, nice to see one day these projects come to an end. Nice Car

[speedingorange]

yeah cost mega amounts :S idk if thats a good or bad thing, it isnt finished yet... still got the engine to sort out, and a few other bits. there will be another video to follow at some point

[gremlinkiller]

verry nice

love the flat top pistons

[artistfood]

BRAVO!!! This has to be the best video on a Mini Rebuild. Its very detailed. Great job!!!

What year is this car?

Part 4? :)

[pubosssa]

That is great great work!!!!I mean it.

From Mauritius.

Correct me if i'm wrong but at both sides, (3:21 and 3:30), of the rear brakes you have the shoes on wrong. The leading-edge of the shoes should be: Left Side; 11:00 o'clock and 5. Right Side; 1:00 o'clock and 7. You have them at the exact opposite. Leading edge is the part with more metal exposed.

This video is quite inspiring, I wish you'd list the artists from the soundtrack!

[speedingorange]

Your Right! i had to reverse them... but couldent be botherd to re take pics so sorry if its missleading. Ill drop you a PM with track listings.

[SPOOKSTR]

The music sounds like a 70's porno.....

Nice job my friend. That must have cost you an absoloute Bomb. Looks like pretty much everything is new on there. Backplates, Radius arms, a fair few panels. Anyway, good effort, hope to see you at some shows this years. Keep an eye out for Lotus yellow mini with a 1310 and my 998 BRG. All the best.
