    Croatia , what a beautiful place. Croatians are nuts about football, music ,girls and cars. For a British fella it's a home from home.

      Thank you very much for your kind words!!! 😊 Unfortunately we are now working on Land Rover series and after that I have Porsche waiting, so our schedule is full.
      Also I don't have enough space for anything new, so at the moment unfortunately I can't even think about something like that 😟

    Hi, great build, which gauges are this?

    • @slightlytuned
      @slightlytuned  Год назад

      Thank you! Gauges are MGS series Marine gauges from igauge manufacturer from Taiwan. Tacho and speedometer are modified, basically the small 52mm gauges are built inside bigger housing and needles were extended.

    This is simply great! It would be fun to listen to your ideas on what you would do differently the next time!
    ....speaking of next time. When are you starting on the next Mini?

    • @slightlytuned
      @slightlytuned  2 года назад

      Thank you very much! I'm pretty satisfied with overall build, main thing I would change from the start is carburetor and fuel pump, those two did cost me a lot of time... and I would check all new parts before placing them on, like clutch bell which was completely new and factory stamped wrong causing big troubles. So I always check every new part after that, lesson learned 🙂.
      Everything else is good, I'm satisfied with paint, interior, gauges...
      I've actually bought a second Mini but got rid of it to make space for Porsche. I'm on the Porsche and my dad is on the Land Rover, after we finish those two I can start to search for a next project, I haven't got clue what it will be but nothing even to consider before finishing current projects 🙂

    Is the brown floor coating a rubber prc from aircraft production, if so that's top drawer protection.

    Interested in knowing how you sprayed the front end away from the car . The front end is a structural part and is welded on .?

    • @slightlytuned
      @slightlytuned  11 месяцев назад

      Originally it is attached/welded and it holds front subrfame on 2 bolts. So it's not structurally important for the shell itself only for the front subrfame.... Instead of the front end there are two metal bars bolted. Bars are visible on 14:04 and 14:15 on video, they connect upper body part with bottom front subframe. Front part is mounted back on 8 bolts and when removed it's much easier to work on engine and the whole front part.

      @ajwalou-nack2343 11 месяцев назад

      @@slightlytuned yes I see . You have a steel front end and during the 70 s 80s they made a fibre glass front end for the mini . Fittings this front end meant your mini wouldn't pass an MOT in the United Kingdom as it meant that the structural part of the car was changed and the car would have to be inspected by the department of transport at a cost of about £400 . Yes I know about the subframe support used at the front as that's the only way you could have done that . What I'm really asking is why would you do it as the body is strong enough to cope as it is . I don't think you're doing the car any justice. I love your car but that would put me off. It just seems like alot of work for absolutely no gain.

      ​@@ajwalou-nack2343 the one purpose of the mod was to gain the quick access to the whole front part of the car, engine, subframe.... The Mini was intended for my personal use and I'm using it frequently and I'm not gentle at all with it.....so the only gain for me is the quick access, not weight savings or anything else

    How long did all this take

    • @slightlytuned
      @slightlytuned  Год назад

      From buying the Mini to making it road ready it took 3 years and 5 months....but I didn't work on on it daily sometimes a couple of months passed without any work but then again I worked a few weeks whole days just on it.... it's hard to ballpark the total work hours, anything I say at the moment would be a total guess, but a lot of hours went into that small car 🙂

    Kindly advise regarding total cost 🙏

    • @slightlytuned
      @slightlytuned  11 месяцев назад

      Total cost with a car included, all the material... roughly about 20k. It's was pretty high but basically everything was new, I could have spent less but I guess when you start ordering new stuff for a project car it's very addictive and after some point there is no common sense, you're just ordering stuff even though the original parts could be used.... well that was in my case 😅
