Question the locking strip for the front and rear screens why don’t you put the chrome locking strips it would look way better they came from factory like that or do you just like the black car looks good 👍
Hi, in one of my previous videos I was an installing the glass and cracked my windscreen. The car is actually away right now getting a new front screen installed and the rear screen will also be removed to fit some of the headlining. I agree, on this car the chrome strip looks great, it will be in there for sure.
I had a 1966 1275 S for many years, my favourite car ever. You used to be able to buy a roll of the bright chromed flexible plastic strip that fitted into the front and rear rubber screen surrounds and cut it to fit. Is this still made? It does complete the look of the car. Another thing: the original bumpers are ridiculously frail. You can dent them with your knuckles. People used to replace them with the *rear* bumpers of the later ugly box-fronted Mini Clubman, which were stronger and fitted both front and rear mountings on a standard Mini .Overrriders for these were available, but not the funny little top corner tubes which anyway were so weak as to be absolutely useless. You need a front Austin Cooper badge, a modest little item, probably vanishingly rare now. If you could find an original on someone else's car you could maybe get it scanned and a copy 3D printed and chromed.
@@RalphHancock great to hear from you! I’ve got you covered! I have the locking strips in the windscreens now, I have the front badges on a shelf waiting for the car to come back from paint for touch up. As for the bumpers, I went with the stainless bumpers, they don’t seem too weak. Maybe they improved? Mine are new. This car has rapidly become my favorite! Absolutely love it!

How much do you want for your mini
Hi there. Happy you like it but it’s not for sale. I’ve wanted one my whole life and finally have one. Not going to give it up that easy.
