It's really refreshing to see restorations done to this level. How you replace the entire underside is the only way to go. Thanks for sharing your great talent. I'm looking forward to seeing more of your work.
There is plenty coming up
1 day Paul I would like to get a quarter as good as you with fabrication and welding!! Loving the work dude
So great to see a real expert sheet metal worker making a difficult job look easy. The end result is superb. I just love watching your work.
Beautiful work Paul, true craftsmanship. Thanks for sharing.
Cracking job Paul! So good to see these car bodies restored properly. Cant wait to see what else you've got coming up!
The next one is building a brand new 1965 shell from mostly "new old stock" panels. It'll be fun
@@PWCV-YT Awesome! Can't wait
Love the attention to detail. Would really like to see a video on how you modified the front turn signal mounts. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us.
Wow,...this is simply amazing to me.
I should film my Mini shells and see what you think....
These videos of yours are great!
Thankyou
Absolutely great! Paul, you’re like a metal surgeon, cutting out what’s bad and stitching it all back together by various means. Great vicarious learning just by watching and listening. I’m looking forward to the next……👍🏻😎👍🏻👍🏻
Lovely, some one understands what restore means. Not a rattle can in sight!
Great work, a real and proper repair all round, Regards Doug. Minimaster.
Lovely jubbly !! Paul , do you plug weld the rear flanges to the scuttle ? When l had gas bottles l used to braze them but l lent them to my best mate and got them back 30 years later , empty with rotten hoses !!!! Cheers !
I do plug them
CHEERS from AUSTRALIA
Un lavoro incredibile svolto da grande professionista molto dotato di capacità e pazienza. Complimenti!
Get it blasted and then order a new shell.ha ha.
Thank s mate,thumbs up.
Great work, attention to details no matter how small is fantastic 👍
Unparalleled level of workmanship. Amazing Paul.
Fantastic work and great video, keep it up!! 👏🏼
Paul, can't believe you didn't iron the flag (-:
😀 I could hit it with a hammer, I don't know how to iron
Just started watching your channel, very interesting, thank you. Do you film the whole restoration or just the main fabrication? I've watched the van and the Cooper series, will there be more on these? Thanks.
I only do the metalwork but when I catch up with the cars once finished off by the owners I will do a video on each of them
Passengers door frame looked like RAB C Nesbits famous vest.
Holier than Edam
You’re a wizard 🧙
🤣
Fantastic 👍. Great to see a craftsmen at work.
That bootlid lad.. 🎉 Another quality job, what’s your waiting list like for work?
list is into next year at the moment. the diary will probably reopen in January for 2025 bookings
Marvelous. Love from South Africa.
They were never that good from the factory! 😂👏🏾👏🏻👏🏾👏🏻👏🏽👏🏻
Excellent job!
❤❤
Great work. You see so many attempts on similar panels and poor results.
Better then factory by far.
Great content and keep on posting.
There's plenty to come
Nice work.. looking good
Really enjoy your videos having just found them. Quick question, how do you protective treat two mating surfaces that have been welded together so they don’t rust? Thanks
Key it up and spray on U-Pol weld through primer
Must be tough to hand that over to a painter unless it's someone you know and trust to carry the job forward,
It's tough to hand it back to the owner after I've spent a month treating it as my own, they then arrange a painter
superb workmanship 👍
At 17:19 why do you hold that metal(?) block against the panel ?
It soaks the heat away from the panel controlling distortion
Absolute genius...... The attention to detail is amazing..... Stumbled on this channel by accident but after watching one episode im hooked..... The way you talk through what you have done and why is supurb..... Keep up the channel 💪💪
Talented work
Brilliant work Paul.. I've owned a few Mk l's and know the cars quite well. You really have an eye for detail and originality.
Great job.
You should look into some of the 3m two pack glues for around the door skins, it's better than Epoxy followed by wax for rust prevention, would also stifen up the door when hard.
You do really nice work, people not in the trade won't appreciate the time you'll have out into it.
*put into it
To be honest, I don't like sealer in the skins but that just my opinion
spot on that one lovely finish.
nice work as always from one panel beater to another
Always good to watch and learn well done
I rember in early 70s British Leyland selling Mk 1 & 2 new Mini shells for £60!
Wow, that's only one hour labour theses days
Thanks for the re cap 👍🏻
Fantastic what a craftsman.
Thankyou
Beautiful work!
I learned a lot on my first mk1 restoration, and a lot more on my second. But I wish I'd seen your work before. 3rd time lucky! Quality work there.
I still learn more with every one that I do
Hi, absolutely great work you’re such a high standard very skilled man just a quick question what is a metal block you put an alarm for quarter panel when Welding
Yu a wizard!
Fancy do mine next? 😉 got 67 vtec mini van.
I'm afraid I'm fully booked for the year. Keep an eye on my facebook and Insta pages to see when my diary opens for next years bookings
@PWCV-YT aw okay I'll keep an eye out 😊
Wow amazing job👊🏻
What’s the real cost to the value of that.car in man hours alone plus all the mechanical work and paint work. Most if not all these so called rebuilds that make these cars non original cost way more than the cars worth sad fact but very true
Value has little to do with it, it's a hobby, it's about having fun
Is that a METZ bead roller?
It is. I wish they wouldn't call it bead roller though, It's real name is Tinman's Jenny
