    Great job, good to see Matt chipping away in his man-cave. Heat, heat, and more heat.

    Mate that liitle hole in arms is to allow the air out when pressing in a new cup, due the cup being a friction fit.

    A Mini rear sub-frame that isn't absolutely riddled with rust: I'll make a note in my diary !

      Haha I know it’s not the original one that’s why.

    I don't get the whole installing a new subframe into a Mini and then not maintaining it with the designated greasing. At least the frame itself is solid though so that's a bonus.

    • @SimpsonsClassics
      @SimpsonsClassics  Год назад

      No we don’t understand why that was done either. Maybe it was a mot fail so new parts where bought and just fitted no care with paint etc.

    Smashed that Matt! Cracking work. its not easy t work on something and rememeber to film all the parts ha ha. Proper job, would you not tackle rebuilding the radius arms? i did and was pretty straight forward. keep em coming guys!

      @mcalvert39 Год назад +1

      I don't have a reemer but I'm sure I know someone that does so it would be a more cost effective solution to rebuild them.

    Very interesting to see your subframe compared to mine & how you're going about it. I'll probably be doing the same. Im not sure if I'll be able to do the refurbishment on the arms so I'd be interested in where you'd be sending yours 😊. Nice triumph buy the way 😊.

    Excellent work, Matt. I'm guessing the body panels for the Restomod Mini will be lighter than stock.
