- The Classic Mini Mk1 Conversion Returns
In this episode we finally get round to the challenging task of fabricating and lowering the rear quarter window roof line on both sides of the shell, this is to accept the 1960’s Mk1 rear quarter opening windows. We also fabricate and make the changes to fit the Mk1 dash switch panel.
So let’s crack on, I hope you enjoy the episode

What a lovely chap your dad is.
Great to see you & your dear old Dad again! Cracking job as per usual! Cheers. Leigh. PS: mind & weld up the top & bottom seams on the quarter panel to door apertures!!
Cheers thank you 😁👍
My first car was a mk1 Mini with the same dash as you showed there. Never needed an oil change - it leaked it out fast enough it was always nearly fresh. I knew when it needed a top up because the oil pressure gauge needle started to swing like a pendulum - dropping low on right hand corners!! Good to see you back!
Nice to see you both I shouted out mined the roof when you rolled the shell out the wife thought I’d flipped ,dads looking well for 81 yrs I think he’s fibbing ,the workshops looking good the mini is really come on we’ll be see you two on the repair shop soon fantastic gents great to see you ,awaiting the next instalment 👍👨🏻🏭

Great to see youse back and also more cracking work.
I’ve never seen Mk1 quarter lights without piano hinges though
Hi! Thank you very much 😎👍 yeah the windows are Mk2 windows without the piano hinge, same size etc as Mk1’s though. We’ll hopefully pick up some Mk1’s at some point with the piano 👍
We've missed you mate, Dad looks well, and was impressed with the workshop, crack on!

im 3 seconds in and had to comment how great it is to see your Dad - I wish I could open the door and see my Dad walk in - cherish the old fella
Great to see you back guys….👍
Great to see you back! You made a fantastic job on those rear windows. I must admit it brought a tear to my eye when your dad turned up and he saw the new workshop for the first time, you could hear the pride in his voice. I lost my dad many years ago but I still know the feeling of him saying I’d made a good job. Enjoy your time with him again now, it’s fantastic to see. 😊👍🏼
Hi! Thank you very much I really appreciate that. I couldn’t wait to show my Dad the new workshop for the first time, it’s was great. I’m glad to have caught it on camera, a few mentions they wanted to see it.
Take care.
Get yourself some foam filled tyres for your spit. Great job 👍 I use them on my kart trolley. No issues with flats lol love the channel by the way keep er lit
Omg, first time watching your channel. That bit welded in at 4.26 looks brand new. Can't even tell its been welded damn 🧐😳👌🏾💥💯💯
Great to see you two back on the mini build again 👌👌
About bloody time too. I've been getting withdrawal symptoms!
That sir's is a great piece of work👍, just goes to show what can be achieved with minimal tools and a touch of genius 👨🏭
Garage looks great , glad you got the rear screen.. 👍🏻
Welcome back! Watching you create parts using card/masking tape and a hammer reminds me of creating gaskets of gasket paper and thin cork sheets.
nice video,we want one like that@
UPbuild😍
Nice to see you both back.
well done guys, takes me back to when I was your age working on minis, finally got tired of chasing rust and trying to make a silk purse, restorations take a long time and when you've also got to earn a living there aren't enough hours in a day, ask your dad, finally you get tired, fortunately you guys can still work together, cherish this time. 😊😉👍
I am very impressed by this project. Great dedication to detail and massive effort!
Make sure thought that you don't forget to fill the splices, ideally with welding. Where the fwd and aft sidepanels joins at the upper and lower aft door radius. As the the sidepanels on a Mk1 & 2 is a one piece pressing rather than the Mk3 onwards two piece.
Greetings from Sweden / Keep up the good work!
Another great video 👍 long awaited..!! nice to see your dad back. I’m a panel beater so this is like a busmans holiday to me but really enjoy watching your work, especially now your dads there too.
I used to love working on cars with my dad. Wish he was still with us 😥
Keep up the good work. 👍👌👌
GREAT to see your Dad’s reaction to your shed makeover! Love from Down Under 👍🇦🇺😎
Fantastic fabrication work Mark. End result is superb. Great video and great to see your Dad back in the fold. All the hard bits are nearly done now.
Brilliant. Love the craftsmanship and nice to see Dad back. Thanks for sharing this with us Mini fans!

Heureux de te retrouver! Ne nous fait plus attendre aussi longtemps...Vivement ta prochaine vidéo.
Where have you been, great to see you back, and great to see your fathers face when he saw for the first time, the size of your workshop.
Father & son, special times, nice to see.
Made my day seeing your dad back again , car looking amazing skill level is top drawer !!
nice to see you back great seeing ya dad again
strange they made some weird changes on the mini's that weren't really needed
i know where theres a few early 61 mini bodies with that dash part still in them
Finally a new chapter, thanks to you and your father
Hi! thank you for watching 😁👍
Great to see your dad back, the episode too. It’s just incredible seeing the techniques you have used as well. Thanks
Hi! Thank you 😎👍
Think I left my comment on the wrong video. Any way, really glad to see you both again. I have wondered for a long time how you would deal with the quarter windows, I was not disappointed. Brilliant job!
Great work Bud 👍👍Love the Mini 👍👍
Love the rear windows and how they open.
I can remember being able to open both the rear windows from the driver's seat. Perfect for getting some airflow without too much noise.
I have them on my 1991 Land Cruiser but I have to get out and open them through the back doors, so not as convenient but I always think of my beloved Mini when I open them.
Top work as usual. Your Dad was over the moon with the workshop, all the good men love a workshop.
Fantastic to see Father and son back together.. been waiting so long to see ya again but we'll worth the wait amazing engineering such a great build ..well done lads
I think we all were wondering where you had gone. I know I've missed your regular updates.
Great attention to detail again. 👏. Nice to see your dad's in good health.
Hi! Ah that’s great thank you very much 👍👍
Awesome to see you both back , cracking job on the mini again, keep up the good work 👍
Nice done 👍
good to see you back DAD TOO !!
Awesome work man!!🤘🏻 killed it with the window fab!!
WOOHOO THEY’RE BACK!!!! So happy to see you both well and sharing this amazing build with us again. Wonderful craftsmanship shown as always. Didn’t realise the chrome bezel was hard to get hold of, I’ll have to dig the ratty one I threw in the scrap pile and see what I can do with it for my MK1 refurb.
Hi! Thank you very much 😁👍 yeah that chrome pierce was quite difficult to find and at a reasonable price.
I love it nothing stop us car junkies, you have a heater in your garage so you can work and I have a swamp cooler as my garage is usually over 100 degrees, glad to see you getting back on your baby.
Haha! Cheers thank you very much 👍👍
Nice to see you again
Welcome back! Love that fridge!
Haven’t watched yet but glad you are back, missed you guys 👍for your dad
Cheers 😎👍 let us know what you think once you’ve seen it😎
@@upbuild4397 great episode, it’s come a long way
What a fantastic surprise to see a new episode and to find you and your Dad 'cracking on' and looking fit & well. Brilliant work as always, and it now looks like the really tricky fabrications are just about done.. Looking forward to the next instalment..
Cheers 👍 we’ll have a new one out on Saturday 😁👍
Great to see you and dad back at it. Some real quality work there. Stay safe guys.
Great to see some more fine alterations to fit those rear side windows.
Love the fantastic catchphrase. Fantastic and you're not wrong! You're making a grand job of that. Well done so far. 👍
Nice to see you back. Cheers!
I was looking at the rear side window and thought 'Maybe' I could fault it, but I can't that a brilliant job our kid :). It was great to hear your dads reaction on the new building, I am so glad you guys got through this crazy time.
Hi! Ah cheers thank you very much 💪 it was a tricky bit to get it right. It’ll need a very thin skim of filling before paint but it should be ok.
Nice to see you both back. Workshop looks brilliant. The window looks like factory great job ☺️. 🌟👍
Great work both. . Good to see you back together. . Phil
Hi. Nice to see you again. I saw you using the tool to undo your angle grinder to change the disc. Im constantly changing mine, but i found by accident that since the "nut is self tightening you can " hand" tighten it by tightening the disc once the nut has "grabbed". It never slips and then when you want to change the disc dont use the tool, just unwind the disc itself, even the cutoff discs that are ground down will loosen. Just a tip you might like to try to save you some time and never need to use the tool again.
Hello guys, Great fabrication skills making those mk1 rear windows fit, Lovely to see your dad back too.
Great to see you both back at it 👍 Looking forward to the next update, great work as usual
