    Hi Matt, New to your channel Bud, So just wanted to say THANK YOU for putting these Vids up. I grew up Building Minis in the 80s [@ 14] Then worked at Fords [South Wales] Then drove CLASS1 HGV for 12 Years, Then got on Mobile Cranes [Better £££] So Really giving some thought to Building my own Mini now i;m 52 and driving an VW Polo 1.6tdi [LOL] I just NEED SOMETHING to bring a bit of ZING back into this life. And with ALL the new Mini tech Like SC Twin-Cam heads/Easy instal Turbo kits [JET-MOTORS In the US] KAD/Jack Knight/M.E.D/ etc and having a LOT more knowledge i could build a nice QUICK Mini. I have;nt got the welding/Fab skills like yourself BUT with KITS available for Honda V-TEC and having around 120BHP you CANNOT beat the old Classic Mini. Best wishes Bud.

      Minis do have that’s little ripper feel to them don’t they, I think that’s why so many ppl go back to them at a later time in life, I’d go Honda just for easy and reliable driving and that 5th gear to plod down the motorway

    Beautiful work which inspires my own modest efforts. ''Not recording' each full spaceframe build in the future will save you hours on each one.

      For sure mate, it’s all that same stuff really and I’m not one for just making content for the sake of it really. You will all get bored of my good looks 😂

      Well...I've jumped back after watching and enjoying your next one!!! Just when you think it's same old same old along comes something to mix it up and keep it interesting 8))

    Well done Mr Skidmore. Really impressive. Hope that welding wasn't too hard on your knees.

    Nicely done... I normally just use taco gussets for the door bar, but I do like your conclusion for the end of the door gusset.
    I had to junk my last 5 kilo roll of wire, it kept getting jammed on the feed rollers, I was talking to some other guys in our area and a few of them had the same issue.

      I’m going to get a new reel and see if that better from a different supplier. I liked the square sided gussets more then I thought I would to be honest

    Hey Matt, can you provide measurements of the tower bars to attach the Vtec subframe? Or a video on that process? I've got a K24 I'm looking to build with your spaceframe dimensions. This is the missing piece to the puzzle I need that I can't find in your other videos. Thanks!

    Great work man👍🏻what alloy are you using for your cage and subframes?

    • @skidmores.garage

    Much enjoyed as ever, and I learn so much each time. One question - what sort of thickness are the gussets? Like 1.2mm sort of thing?

    • @skidmores.garage
      @skidmores.garage  10 місяців тому

      glad the viedos are off use to you buddy, gussets can vary depending on where they are needed really, most are 1.2 but some can be 1.5 or 2m if around suspension points
