I've done it, I now have a new red carpet, with jute underlay, a kit that was meant to fit, but doesn't. It's too wide, couldn't cut the edges or the trim would disappear, so piled up in the middle over the tunnel, so carpet halfway up the gearstick gaiter, still it's in, and that's the main thing. Thanks for video that gave me the confidence to have a go. The parcel shelf did get its edges cut off, as you can't disguise a hump in the middle of the parcel shelf :)
Oh, that's really cool! Got any images? I would love to showcase something like that at the end of one of my episodes during my customer showcase segment. Feel free to email images and details if you want to be featured. classicminidiy@gmail.com
Classic Mini DIY Thanks! It's a real mess at the moment, but I will definitely send some pics asap. The whole project is at a stand still right now... run out of funds 😭😭😢
I have a quick question that i cant seem to find the answer to anywhere else. in my mini's center console to the left and right i have two pull levers. one has red and blue arrows and the other has two vertical lines, and a dot with a line through it. what are those?
My guess from seeing something like it on a friends mini is that the red and blue arrows on the push pull plunger is for the heat control of your heater. It almost looks like the arrows are pointing slightly forward and backwards but that one is for your temperature control. As for the other plunger, it isn't a manual choke for the engine is it?? Older classic minis had manual chokes didn't they?
The strongest ones I could find. I forget the exact length but there is a BlackHawk Hardware near my house that carries tons of various sized Grade 8 bolts. The factory brackets that are part of the cross member are much more likely to break before the bolts do. I also use nylon locking nuts to make sure they dont come off unintentionally.
@@classicminidiy Thanks for the quick reply! Your seat brackets are part of the cross member? I've got a '64 Austin and the factory brackets are separate from the crossmember and need to be bolted in place. The previous owner took the brackets off of the crossmember and now I can't find the proper bolts to reinstall them
@@qwiebe Yeah there are these welded on brackets that are on the cross-member and then the seat has its own bracket that kinda slots down into it. If you send me an email classicminidiy@gmail.com I can grab you some photos tonight when I get home from work. It's only 10:45am here haha!
Hey thanks for the kind words. This is the seat, I bought them from MiniSport years ago. www.minisport.com/mini-classic-gt-headrest-black-soft-grain-vinyl-outers-black-basketweave-centres-black-piping.html

Well is spend to much time searching a channel like yours, finnaly e found it!!! Thank you so much, continue doing what you do ;)
I like the bird, I'm in the UK, so it sounds exotic to me :). The video was very helpful too.
Glad it helped out! Never thought of the birds of exotic. Haha!
This sounds like we don't have birds in Europe, which we obviously do. And this sounds like a normal bird to me. Nothing exotic.
I love the new intro, looks really good
Thanks this is the first one with the new intro. I hope people like it. :-)
Thanks for a cool vid! Really nice to see other minis. I'm building one with a Toyota 4AGE 20 valve... want to work on the interior soon 🤙

Thanks for subscribing!
A good video to see soon would be a guide on installing speakers and subwoofers, etc.
Nice work on it! do you find there will be the chance to set 2 individual seats instead of the rear bench ??
Great video! Very informative :)

Could you take a picture and post a link here? Nothing is coming to mind with the description.

turns out it was the choke, thank you
what seat frames do you have and where to get them?
What spec bolts (thread, length, etc) are you using for mounting the seat brackets to the chassis?

What seats do you have?

Nice video :)
