    Great channel brings back memories at your age, i bought a white mk2 mini 1000 for £4.80 and an early Mk1 for £14 this was near 50 years ago and we were all 18 / 19 but hey we all learned to rebuild them and weld them and spray them up.....cheap motoring.

    Excellent, a mini on the road for under a grand. Must be worth five times that. I saw the MoT advisories as well, and nothing to worry about, some tyres which cost buttons on a mini and a couple of insignificant things. Great job, and very entertaining/informative.

    Great work, I binge watched all these and your self motivation and skill is impressive as is how unfazed you are when the unexpected crops up.
    One thing you left off the cost of the car is your time; that needs to be factored in even if you don't consider it a 'cost' but a labour of love.
    Looking forward to seeing it all finished. Thanks for sharing.

    What a great job you have done on a budget and on your own. Back in the mid 80's I had a 1275 GT mini with the Webasto sunroof which I got from swapping my Honda 125 CD benly motorbike for. The mini was bright pink lol but I stripped the paint did the body work and lots of similar things you have done to this mini. I got my painter mate to paint it Rosso red for 100 quid with Paint he had left from a Ferrari paint job he had done. Put the original White1275 decals down the bottom sides of the doors and White painted wheels made it look a million dollars. Wish I still had it. Nice one Cash Machine

    Great video. Resist the temptation to splurge a lot of cash e.g. on paint, you might well not get it back in increased sales value.

    • @cashmachinecars
      @cashmachinecars  3 месяца назад

      Agreed! Although I could probably paint it myself for around £400, but it's a lot of time and effort if it goes wrong 🤦

    What fantastic work keeping the mini and other lovely old cars on the road - and with amazing savings ! With your skills I'd suggest looking out for a Jaguar XK8 with the huge 4.2 engine in it, they are nortiorious for rust, but you know you way around a welding kit and cutter - you'd probably pick up a failed MoT pretty cheap and with your skills would get it back on the road nicely ! (no you cant have my xk8, its cost me way too much :D)

    • @cashmachinecars
      @cashmachinecars  5 месяцев назад +1

      Thank you very much! I've always wanted an XK8! Like you say I could probably get an MOT failure quite cheap, 😂 are they good to drive I've never had one or even been in one?

      @@cashmachinecars oh yes, i love mine, i tell myself each year to get rid of it, but i love it so much. It chews out the jap boy racers, the engine is huge and still powerful, lets just say it hits the speed limit pretty quick. I keep it for the ocassional drive now and then, but it has done some amazing distances and is incredbly comfortable, as well as fast. If you got a garage, get the coupe version :)

    Same electrics, buttons and lights as a Defender. Every Defender owners uses Contact cleaner on intermittent electrics. Most of the times that fixes it. The rest of the time it's a bad earth. Always have contact cleaner in stock.
