    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 🤣

    Hi, great vlog. FYI the sills are bead welded in the factory (so no spot welds as such), so is the roof and the seams on the four corners of the car. The bead weld is a semi continuous weld and a right pain. Also MIG stands for metal inert gas, TIG is tungsten inert gas. Any inert gas will work, some are better than others. Gonna watch your other vlogs now. 👍

    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.

    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.

    This MPI mini looks like a good first project car, doesn't seem too far gone and lots of chance to put your own personality in to it! I will make one suggestion, disconnect the battery, unplug the ecu in the engine bay and maybe the srs modules under the back seat, some people say its possible welding can damage them electrically.

      @GTE_Channel 2 месяца назад

      @@Lauras.workshop ok so here is what I would , its just advice and nearly everything can be done at a later date as well. If you take the engine out I would highly recommend changing the camshaft (unless your engine is allready fitted with a MG Metro camshaft as standard) A modern camshaft like a Swiftune SW5 will give your engine torque from idle to top revs making it a blast do drive and overtake. With engine out a lighter flywheel would also be a great upgrade if funds allow that. A tuned cilinderhead can be to expensive for most, but any decent engine shop can do a 3 angle grind on the valves, this will make them flow better and boost performance. This is a really cheap modification. Any Mini will benefit from a decent sports exhaust, so I will allways recommend that. The best part of the Mini is the handling. A small investment in making front and rear geometry fully adjustable is a great investment. Also the rubber cones are often neglected, replacing them will make the car slightly more comfortable. Enjoy the process!
