Totally agree with the rear lights + hinge comment, i had the same thought way back in 91 with my 1st Mini ....... I did have the exact same reverse light i paid UK 3 pounds for and love the 3rd brake light, I had 5 minis in my time and woah does my back know it now all these years later ! Have fun and always keep that gearbox and engine oil in good shape is my best tip for ya Drop bracket was also a mod i had bought and a very old wood rimmed wheel.... Gotta say you have the right idea ! 🏁
Looking good my man!! Nice to see the whole car up close!! And I can agree that dash cluster is really cool specifically the way the side gauge sticks on the side!!🙌🏻👊🏻
Love your car. I’ve been doing my mk1 cooper S over on my channel but tbh, I miss having paint I don’t need to worry about. Mine was a bit TOOOOOO ratty before I took it apart and there were a few things under it that really needed sorting. Overcrest looks awesome. I’d love to do it some day.
It is quite nice not having to worry about it. It gets beat up in my tiny garage. I’m planning on painting my Mk1 S as well. So I’ll have to worry about that 😂
@@minilife.37 when I started driving it after assembly. I was hesitant to bring it anywhere I was going to park it and leave it. I made a decision right then that I was just going to drive it and not worry about it. Fuck it! These cars are supposed to be enjoyed.
Love your car. No garage queen here. It just says, take me out and drive!
100%!

Thanks 👍
I love the look of your Mini, well done it's awesome! I have '98 Rover Mini but looks very different mostly stock.
Thank you! It’s developed character for sure haha
I like the cafe-racer vibe of your ride. I have a '94 with a similar setup I have been using as my daily.
That’s awesome! You have an IG? Would love to check it out.
@@minilife.37 @grantakaiser is me yep
You had me at safety squints 🥽 😂
Safety first kids!

Great video, dude.I know how much longer it takes to do anything when you're filming. I love the mini. New subscriber.
Thank you so much! They are time consuming for sure! More to come 🤙🏽🏁
Love your Mini especially the dash. Who made it?
Thank you! @garagefoss on instrgam
Nice little video love the car how long have you had yours? - saving for another mini for a build here in AUS (new sub today).
Thanks! I’ve had it about 7 or 8 years now. I have a mk1 Cooper S project too that I should get cracking on
Where did you get your safety glasses 😅

Hey Mike, why is there two different numbers on your doors?
@@RaviRamdeo because I like to party 🎉. I painted the 21 and then it was already taken when I went on the OC RALLY
