    Classic Mini Restoration
    Im Tom
    And Here you will be able to follow my classic mini restoration from start to finish! It is an Austin Mini Mayfair 998cc registered in 1986. I bought the car with 2 months MOT and it was running although the slave cylinder had gone. My plans for the car are to restore it to my standards just like my Orange one if not even better... if thats possible. More videos on the way of the classic mini so be sure to subscribe and keep up to date.
    Any questions or interests be sure to drop me a comment i will be more that happy to get back to you.

    Why do you want to hide your tow ball? I'm proud of mine and want it on full display. It is also good protection from minor rear end shunts.

      Haha! I agree! The reality is I think they look shite so I love the fact I can remove it and you don’t know it’s there 😂

    Any idea what the tow ball height was?

    I would expect that the diffuser with the hitch fitted is under duress while bent and therefore a long journey will cause it to snap as you go over bumps - I would leave the diffuser as it is and remove it completely when using the tow bar - you took it off easily enough to modify it

    Hello. Realise this might be old hat, but did you need the 'software update'? Witter charge extra for this or is is just a setting on the car or available in VCDS? Cheers for the vid!

    Put a westfalia detachable on my mk7 GTD & even with a cut underneath you can’t tell anything when it’s off.👍🇬🇧

    Exactly what I was looking for. I have a GTD and I’m wanting to tow my project to and from the garage. Is the one you bought a particular shape for the GTI?

      @@TomShorrock is it still for sale? I've the mk7.5 . Does this have the frame bolts up to multiple points on the unibody of the car? I guess I should just ask what specific model is this so I can look it up 😁

    @MrSpeakeasy42 4 роки тому +2

    Hi mate, I notice you fitted a witter vs westfalia, I’m looking to do same for MK7 GTD. With the witter did you need less of a bumper cut and avoided the main dealer replacement trim?

    • @TomShorrock
      @TomShorrock  4 роки тому

    That removable hitch is nice, are the gti's allowed to tow tho? Some things like M3's, skoda VRS's, clio CUP's etc arent allowed to tow because of the lighter shells etc? P.s see you @ I.m.m..
