Rhodesia was in the tropics. Also landlocked on all sides, nearest coastline 850miles from memory and Bulawayo was 1500m above sea level. None of the six minis I had there showed any signs of rust. It was classic car heaven.

Interesting exhaust. 2:41 now rushes down to the man cave to check the 1959/60/61 rear subframe i have!

[@markhollinshead4153]

Another nice video, I’ve spent many a time struggling with those forward facing subframe bolts with the captive nuts spinning, definitely can tell it’s not from our climate!😂

[@MEDEngineeringTechVideos]

Yes they normally give you a false sense of security - lovely and free, then tight, snap!

Its just like a video version of a “Practical Classic” magazine type follow the refurb from the 1980’s. Which I remember so fondly and well

I realize it is kind of off topic but do anyone know a good site to watch new movies online ?

[@ahmadsebastian7633]

@Garrett Lachlan lately I have been using Flixzone. Just google for it :)

[@randallwesson9577]

@Ahmad Sebastian definitely, have been watching on flixzone for months myself =)

[@nathanaxel8758]

@Ahmad Sebastian Thanks, signed up and it seems like they got a lot of movies there :) I appreciate it!

[@kendrickmaurice5419]

@Garrett Lachlan No problem xD

[@ronald1968]

Interesting to see early detailing..... shame about the overspray everywhere.....

[@MEDEngineeringTechVideos]

Yes it is a bit of a mess!

Vraagje hebben jullie geen hefbrug 😮

[@douglaspage1085]

Does the battery cable stay in? Or is does it go over the top?

[@MEDEngineeringTechVideos]

It just ties up between the floor and subframe.

[@timsminigarage]

The one piece exhaust was pretty standard for early cars? Mine was the same

[@MEDEngineeringTechVideos]

Possibly yes, but maybe not in stainless?

[@willgrime]

One-piece was absolutely standard until at least 1980. Mild steel was usual, but you could get stainless steel if you were prepared to order from a magazine advert and send off a cheque. No email or PayPal in those days... you could gat a big bore system too, or a fancy box and tailpipe, but not from a dealer, only the ad-and-cheque route
