A good result given the basic tools available. My first workshop necessity is a good sized engineer's vice solidly mounted to a sturdy bench, but I also have a No.2 Record vice that I have mounted on a square of thick plywood with a batten fixed underneath to clamp into a Workmate. It's invaluable and would have made the fabrication a bit less difficult. With some packing to protect them, dollies can also be clamped into the vice for shaping. Best wishes.
Cheers yes the vice would have made it easier and he has this kit in the garage but if you take a look that’s a rather full garage and was unable to get to that. I think that’s result with just using his hands turned out really well. Thanks for watching 👍
Great to see some home repairs on it hammer and dolly and basic tools .. turned out really well for a driveway repair . I love to see things repaired rather than chucked . Keeps the car more original
I say that he's done a great job on that repair. It didn't look easy & I know for a fact that I couldn't do it. Love the bonnet badge, I have one in my collection 😍
Good on you for tackling this kind of repair, most would bin the bonnet and replac, with something in better condition! proof we can save rather than replace, the simplist of things just takes time and patience. :D Awesome work
Great repair! Thanks for the video! With the curves on that support piece, it may have been easier to get the curves by welding separate pieces together rather than trying to hammer and dolly?
Love watching bodywork fabrication. A bonnet saved and not scrapped, a winner!👍😀
Nice one glad you enjoyed this 👍
Nicely done. Good episode, nice to watch. This is how we all struggle and keep our mini's on the road.
Cheers 👍
Great job. Some tricky angles and shapes to content with there. 👍
Excellent job. Personal satisfaction too of doing it yourself.
Thanks buddy 👍
great job, ready for the road
Very nicely done!
We done our 2.8 Capri bonnet just like that, still can say its original bonnet the car came with, nice job.
Nice one for saving that panel also. Cheers for watching

Cheers buddy he smashed this repair out the park and saved an original panel as you say. It’s all about preservation 👍
Awesome Job
Smashed it!
Good job. Used the Minimine code today. Saved a few quid. Thanks
Nice one thanks for using that hope you got the bits you wanted 👍

He has smashed this repair for sure I thought it would be ace to show you all this proper driveway repair like the old days 👍
@@SimpsonsClassics he's definitely got some skills 👌 thanks for the share 🙏
That was really well filmed and very nicely done! (The cat did a full inspection and gave it a paws up”)👍
Thanks buddy glad you have enjoyed this one. She did definitely give it a paws up 👍

Glad you enjoyed this one. It’s a great little driveway repair and saves a bonnet instead of having to buy new. He has absolutely smashed it 👍
Great repair! Thanks for the video! With the curves on that support piece, it may have been easier to get the curves by welding separate pieces together rather than trying to hammer and dolly?
Cheers. Yes that was definitely an option but it was nice to get the dolly out and make the shape. Cheers for watching 👍
Your mate must have recorded this prior to you lamping off your finger! Makes me nervous him touching the guard with the death wheel on 😂
Yes it was filmed before then aha , this was during the last bank holiday. Thanks for watching :)
@@SimpsonsClassics heard him at the end 😅 I comment whilst watching or I might forget to comment 😂
Saw a Mini on FB marketplace for about 2 grand….severely tempted to nab it….only thing stopping me is the rust….no holes but lots of rust.
Do it 👍
Took some patience to get some of the repairs right but overall it was worth the effort.
Absolutely smashed it if you ask me!
