  • In this episode we are moving along with the repairs and get the Mini's inner arch cut out and weld a new piece in. Then we move onto the rear quarter on whilst sorting out the rear suspension and pinched brake lines! FUN.
    We also speak with the previous owner to find out what happened to the Mini and they send me a spare key! Thank you The Massey's!!

    Lots of good progress this week - so handy that you have access to a donor car for a lot of the bits pieces you need. Changing the brake line looked fiddly but at least it didn't go all the way to the front of the car! Don't forget to bleed the brakes before you try to move it otherwise the Mini might end up needing more body repairs lol!

    • @SLRebuilt
      @SLRebuilt  3 года назад +1

      Thank you. Yea certainly helped with the donor car being available for bits and pieces. Brake line- took a long time getting back into the car. It goes up behind the subframe and petrol tank which is a massive pain.
      Yep- brakes have been bled just not in this episode- thanks for pointing that out though as it’s something that could be easily missed 👍👍😬

    That looked like a lot of effort but great video. I think you made the right decision to replace the inner panel too as it's a far neater and stronger job.

    I thought you were under that Mini refitting the donor brake line without axle stands for a minute. It seems you did have them under there in the long shot. Don’t get under there with it just on trolley jacks guys. Very dangerous!
