Cool tunes. Sounds like an AC/DC cover band freestyling.

Absolutely love the Quality of Workmanship shown, Fantastic as usual.

Excellent work. Does this work out cheaper than buying a ready built and primed shell? Just cost of panels I mean, not assembly. The only downside is how will it be painted? Unless it's dipped in primer the cavities and seams will rust like hell. 👍👍

Lovely work Paul. Don't suppose you have the part number for the top dash rail panel?

Very nice work - I know this is being built as a race car and hence it doesn't matter, but what's the legal status of the competed vehicle? Presumably it would be considered a 2024 new build and hence would have to comply with the current motor vehicle construction and use regulation - which I'm going to hazard a guess that a 1:1 recreation of a Mk1 Mini wouldn't, and hence it couldn't be registered as a road vehicle at all? Or is there some way you could legally do a "Ship of Theseus" on it and rebuild an existing vehicle using 100% new panels while maintaining the same legal identity?

The years of experience you must have to know off the top of your head that this hole needs to be filled and this needs to be cut and fitted and this needs to be raised is priceless that experience that ranges from 1959 to 2000 of the classic mini? That is truly amazing and you can’t put a price on it a person that buys a mini body from you . Will have a car that was better made than any mini that was ever rolled out of the many factory that produced minis ..

amzing work

Must be so satisfying creating and doing something you love. Amazing skills

I actually said “oh yes!” Out loud when you shut that bonnet over those carbs

I’ve just bought a mk1 and it needs pretty much the same work, previous repairs are horrendous. I’m a mechanic but have zero welding skills. Panels themselves ain’t that expensive. Dread to think how much the labour is on this job 😬

Nice work Paul. You need a foot operated shrinker/stretcher! I bought one from Frosts and it works amazingly well. Keep going!

Lovely, some one understands what restore means. Not a rattle can in sight!

I agree with the last person.......just watched your video, fantastic to see your skills, but the music is AWFUL !!!! and over powers your cometary .... :-(

🗜_Absolutely fascinating_

Awesome to see and you make it look far easier than it is 💪🏼

Fantastic craftsmanship. Welding without gloves! 😊 Great to see Magnum raising their game. Keeping the cars we love on the road.

Gee. the more that I watch you work, I appreciate the BMC product knowledge and the skill and thought you have invested in the assembly jig.

Whilst I appreciate the company's that reproduce classic panels, I'm surprised by how often they get details wrong. Great vid, shows it's not a job for an amateur.

Absolutely fantastic. Wow, hat off to you. 👏 👏

Paul . The dogs ! Your spot welder certainly earns it's keep ! And by definition , these panels can never be guaranteed to simply fit. It takes skill , patience and more of both ! .......do me a favour and wear ear defenders from time to time .........I SAID !!!! 😅 Terrific stuff ! I cringe when l remember deseaming and enlarging the rear window aperture on a 1960 model ......but that was back in the early '70's ....hind sight is a wonderful thing .....thanks Paul

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤OMG 😮how beautiful 😍

Do you have the plans or diagrams to build a jig ? I am about to start rebuilding a mark-one

Another great video. Was the side panels mk1? because I thought the rear side windows and doors on a mk1 were smaller than the mk3 👍👍

I’m pretty sure the side panels were not pressed that way originally, the A panel sat on top othe the pillar and was brazed at the top edge?

Great work and video, Q.If it's going to be a Motorsport shell why would you not seam weld the panels for extra torsional rigidity of the shell

At 21.00 when you are panel beating, what are you using as a form underneath to give you the correct shape and hard lines?

Please drop the cheesey fake American rock background music

Why work that hard ,you can buy a complete shell these days

Quality work again. I take it the magnum wings matched up with the bonnet better than the heritage ones?

As always, great work. Thanks a lot for sharing your skills 👌 Greetings from France

Hi Paul just watched part 2 of the race mini now I'm watching this van, what a relaxing video, you do an amazing job but you make it look so easy and relaxing, no rushing or bodging, keep up the good work. P.S. first 2 videos I've seen of yours, now a subscriber.

Great job, nicely done quality workmanship

What fantastic build, love the attention to detail. Hoever the muzak was so annoying I had to turn volume right down, and found I was missing your commentary. Pity.

Paul,where did you get all your Mini knowledge and experience from!

Amazing artistry. You’re in the same league as Da Vinci.

Magnum panels never used to line up, sometimes not even close, last couple of years they have got a lot better

Paul - great video, incredible skills in putting this shell together. Thank you! Do you know how Magnum will address their older stock panels still out there compared to their new improved panels ? Is there some identifying mark to differentiate later versions, etc?

I had always assumed it wouldn’t be that difficult to build a brand new car like this from replacement panels. In reality, it isn’t, it’s just spot welding. But, the hard part is making it look good and getting everything to line up properly. There’s not many have that skill. Bravo 👏🏻

Outstanding work Paul.. Keeping the Mk l's going. Lets hope the owner/driver doesn't end up in the middle of the track on it's roof 😅

As always, Great Work, magnum Panels must be pleased with your feed back. Regards Doug.

Really nice job 👍🏾

Beautiful, skilful, patient work! Needless to say, much better than any factory-built Mini!

Brilliant. Always learn so much from watching these!

Great work and attention to detail. Can you share the make and model of the spot welder you are using please?

Your a pleasure to watch sir keep up the good work

This is really inspirational work. You have much knowledge and skill. Who are you training to hand down this knowledge and skill? It’s important to consider this. It’s a tall order and requires the right person to be willing to carry this forward. So much craft, knowledge and skill too pass on. Consider it. It would be impactful to the Mini community. Total respect and admiration.

Incredible workmanship 😎👍

Absolute genius. Outstanding professionalism.

After having many Mini's in my younger days ,it was a delight to come to your channel & see it come together from nothing. Great work guys. Subbed. Steve.

Great skills, great detail, great job, just greaaaaaaat.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
