That Willow Green really pops Cole. It's so great to see this process because I'm trying to fumble my way through exactly the same thing with my MK1. Can't wait for the next episode mate.
Always fun fitting up a newly painted shell, have you scratched it yet? The tyres are on wrong as well. The yellow dot goes by the valve and the red dot represents the heaviest (or lightest - cant remember which way round) point of the tyre.
Dear Cole, I have been following you for many years now, and I have learnt so many things from you. I am planning to do the paint work at home and I have bought few paint items for my project. Please teach me how to remove and fit the back glass and the windscreen..that would be a great help..
Hey! Thank you for being a longtime watching. :-) I am planning to do a video on how to install the front and rear glass on this car when I get to that stage.
Unless the LED bulbs account for it, you may need a different flasher. I had to do that in mine to stop the speed-flash. Also, what adapters did you use to convert the barbed fitting on the tank to AN lines? BTW, the new colors look great. You'll have to change your channel icon.
The Haltech VCU I’m using has a built in flasher and is controlling it all. The electrical system is full managed by the Haltech VCA. 😎 thanks for looking out though! Gonna have to start thinking of a new logo… These are the barb fittings: amzn.to/3Fou0zT
New to the channel, is this the first mini build you have done or very experienced? Love the channel from AUS. Saving for another mini (had a 850 as my first car)
I have to ask about a few things. I would like to know just what parts you're using for the headlight install, the fittings there with the hex head screws into what? There are several non-standard pieces being used for your own reasons and I would love to use them in what I am also building up from a freshly restored shell at the moment. For example, how you are plumbing the fuel system, what parts, why those parts, and how you go about putting the fittings on there. Was this covered elsewhere? I don't know, but when I see some better or cleaner ways of doing things, I want to know how and what not just see it. I love this project. What are those pedals?
@@classicminidiyyou can't beat modern connectors with silicone seals for keeping water out, I still remember the forever battle with oxidized connection faults. Love all the new shiny bits 😍
What a beautiful color, finally everything is coming together! I'm enjoying following the rebuild of your beautiful mini! Thanks for taking us along for the ride, Cole. ❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎☺ Can you tell us which LED bulbs you have installed in the front and rear? Especially the rear LEDs would be interesting. In Europe, only 2 manufacturers currently produce LED H4 bulbs that are legally approved for road use. The OSRAM Night Breaker H4-LED (I have purchased) and from Philips the Ultinon Pro6000 H4-LED, all other bulbs are illegal and may not be installed.
Thank you for the kind words! Yes the bulbs the mini uses for the turn signals/park lights/brakes are all standard 1157 and 1156 bulbs. Headlights - www.dapperlighting.com/products/oe7 Front turn signals - amzn.to/3QqNdak Rear Turn Signals - amzn.to/3Qrlrug Rear Brake/Tail - amzn.to/494yERe

Yes. Absolutely brilliant colour and wheel combination 💯
Thanks man. 🥰
Paint work is looking incredible!
Great episode. Thanks, looking forward to more.
Hi Cole , loving the Willow Green/white roof scheme , a classic and classy combo.
Thank you! Glad you like it!
Great colour, such a good looking classic. Well done!
Looking incredible Cole! Can't wait to see the progress
You and me both! Thanks man!

Sensational work Cole. Love the colour combo. Really looking forward to following this assembly series.
Thank you!! Also thanks for watching.
Great job, similar colour to mine.

I see your not stringing this out like 40 episodes over 10 years 😂 (blinkey)
Nope they did some amazing stuff but that timeline doesn’t jive with me 😂

Are you going to run the rear wiring harness through the roof? Or are you gonna sneak it across the floor?
The roof sure. No wires on the floor is my rule.
@@classicminidiysolid stuff. I think on the rovers, they came on the floor.
Sounds right, the mk1 was the same way from the factory but it just feels cleaner up in the roof for some reason to me.
Looking good 💯 also tg you replaced those lucas conectors they are useless.
All the pins are going away in this build for sure.
