    This man can only be described as a first class metal fabricator, welder and mechanic.

    Watching in a series of bits it seem like you got through it pretty easily but when you watch it all in one episode you see a real load of hard work went into it so far!

    @iandonkin6762 Год назад +1

    Nice work as always Matt and great to see it all in a single video - it really shows just how much work is involved in a quality build!
    Looking forward to seeing the final assembly and your initial track antics as you dial it in, hopefully early in the new year!
    Have a good break in the meantime 👍

    @jonathanadams6777 Год назад

    i have watched a lot of mini builds in my time and i have to say i have never seen one to this standard. the detail in the reinforcing and the cage is 2nd to none. when you opened the tin of paint i did wimper a bit but it is absolutely stunning. i really hope there is more to come on this. Love it.

    Matt, really great run through of building your racing mini. Your standard of work is top class !
    You’ve built what must be the stiffest, strongest mini I’ve ever seen - effectively a space frame chassis with the bare minimum of Mini panels stretched around it.
    Absolutely top class.
    Can’t wait to see how it performs !

    Blimey, Matt... You got very lucky with that shell! I've never seen one in such rust free condition! Mind you, when I was playing with minis in the late '80s and early '90s, they were all £200 or £300 bangers that I drove until they failed an MOT.... They were rustier 30 years ago than yours is now.

    • @notpoliticallycorrect1303
