Good to see you lads smiling and enjoying your selves.
Such a great video. Love it. Father & son working together is lovely.
Speckled hen reward - fantastic. 👍👍
Enjoying a nice Old Speckled hen! Great work.
I bought a couple of automatic centre punches at an auto jumble.
Bloody brilliant things.
Not only do I use them for what they are intended for, I took one to work and mark wood, walls, anything that needs drilling.
That little extension to the workshop has made all the difference in the world to working on the Mini.
What a gift. Two videos in a week. Thanks guys 👍🏻
Thank you 😊
Seam welding was the thing to do back in the day to add strength to minis if I’m right. Be faster than plug wielding to. Nice videos two gentlemen at work
i like the both of you having an enthusiastic approach to your project,its usual for the case to be theres dads way and then theres dads way or like me and my son,he asks me a way to do something,he does it my way then claims its his way,the mk2 will make a great track car as your options in building it are endless,and cheers enjoy your bitter,thats what proper men drink,i enjoy nothing more than a can or two when the welders turned off for the day.
Dad was frothing for a beer by the end there! Big day lads. Great work
Another thorough job done .
Speckled hen, you guys have great taste.
Thanks for another great update on progress, thats going to be a real nice car when it's done. For some reason that second shell reminded me of an event about 30 or so years ago back when I lived in the U.K, before emigrating to Canada in 2000. A friend of mines dad had a red Robin reliant car it was one of the older ones and started falling apart with age and stress cracks that's typical with old fiberglass.
I'm over there one day and his Dads got a red plastic bucket cutting it up and gluing it over the cracks as repair sections for the Robin. Having a warped sense of humor the words out of my mouth were "Aren't you doing that all wrong" his dad says why ? Reply "Well wouldn't it be better to cut the best bits off the Robin and stick them on the bucket ! Poor old Ed didn't know what to say, my buddy and his brother hated that car. It was their definition of embarrassment being seen in the same county with it, and they are trying real hard not to laugh in front of their dad, it was all one of those priceless moments L.O.L. Take care both of you
Love watching the build guys. I need to find a project for me and my old man. Spot on!
Front end bbq rear end trailer definitely
I like your thinking 😁👍
yeah i like that suggestion great idea ..
Great work guys. The mini is starting to take shape and gaining that strength in the shell.
DAD was having a cat nap , you must enjoy working together . that green one needs to be restored HAVING A COLD ONE CHEERS
Cheers👍
I think your mini will be better than a factory built one with all the care and attention you have put in to it , thanks for another great video guys .ive had 4 minis in my time and loved every one of them.
Again fantastic seeing your Dad enjoying himself 👍🏻 And a well deserved beer 🍺 at the end 🤩
Nother great video
Cut it in half, front to back make a mini ornament for the wall of the garage inside or out 👍👍.
Excellent work guys 👍👍 ddI ya dad nod off when ya was welding bless him 👍👍👍
love watching you and your dad great relatioship you both have ..great work massive fan
Great work Team 👍👍Love You and Your Dad having a well deserved Beer 🍺 Keep the videos coming 👍👍
Hello boys . Another great video ....that's a lot of plug welds ! Well , keep at it ..........after you polish off that "old speckled hen !" Thanks
Amazing work. I think a trailer for the old shell. Thanks for the films.
Love the complex anti wabble clamping system on your rotisserie.
Keep the vids coming lads been missing this a lot. 👍👍👍
This episode was a shameless ‘plug’ for your build 😊… good to see it progressing 😊
You're wasted on UA-cam.
Супер💪
Great stuff , can’t wait for the next one , great to see both of you hard at it 👌
Did you see the cool BBQ Matt Urch made out of the front of an old Ford? I reckon the back half would make a nice comfy seat, perfect for when one half of the team is having a snooze! 😴
Ah I did, he did a great job of it. Good idea 👍
Stick rockets 🚀 and skies on the Mini shell and send it down a ski jump. 🎿
O yea I enjoyed the episode just wish it was longer, take care...
G'day guys,
Plug welding just one of those repetitive jobs you gotta do.
At 10.30 did I see someone taking a Nana nap. 🤗
But great video things are really coming together nicely.
✌️ from Melbourne Australia.
Nice to see you both back again, a bit of chicken wire and some filler and the donor cars ready to go 80 s style.
Keep up the good work it’s always interesting to see what you’re up to.
Take Care Stay Safe Everyone Regards Dave 👍🏴😎
Great video lads, keep up the good work. How about converting the spare body for a trailer. Only need the back end anyway.
Aye, the 2ltr Zetec seems to be an easy swap into the Ka. Cheers. Leigh.
Ah that’s good, definitely an option for the rusty bucket mk2 then. Thank you for all those dimension differences of the Ka by the way. That’s the bits we need to know to work out what would fit under the shell.
Make the rustbucket into a monstertruck😎
💙🙏😎💙🙏😎
Great video. Pity you hadn’t used the hole punch on the joggle tool prior to first assembly. Would have saved loads of marking and drilling. Keep up the good work.
Did you use a special filter for the welding close-ups? It looked amazing.
Hi. No filter, i just got the camera as close as I safely could and got it nicely focused and slightly zoomed in. I was actually quite surprised how clear it came out.
@@upbuild4397 You could see the metal pooling, fascinating.
Good evening Gents
Looking good, lads! What about sticking the Mk2 shell onto a shortened Mk1 Ka or SportKa floorpan? Cheers. Leigh. PS: Ka wheelbase is 413mm longer that the Mini & the overall width is 54.5mm each side over the Sportspack Mini!
I like the idea of the Ka, I would imagine they would fit a bigger motor too? Maybe the 2.0 Zetec without much fabrication needs?
Make a trailer out of it
😁👍
I'm confused you removed a perfectly good spot weld and then plug welded the same hole ?
I assumed you were going to take something from the rusty wreck and put it on you mini, or is it because e you just like to Mig weld everything.
With old speckled hen as I am sure you know it must be chilled for a least 2 hours then poured in one swift movement into the glass, I am afraid your dad (who is from up north) will have to be banned if he fails to to this next time :)
Turn it into a camper trailer
Still don't know what cant rails are or why you have to transfer them from the rust bucket to the Mk1. I guess I'll find out in the next episode.
Haha! Yip it will be much clearer in this Saturday’s episode 😁👍
Is your first project together lads, If not what have you done?
It’s the first one of this scale on the bodywork side of things. We’ve worked on lots of old car in the past Ford’s other Minis old Porsche’s too may to mention. This is the first time we’ve documented it though. Hopefully continue documenting any future projects.
@@upbuild4397 love you guys, it brightens my day when I've a new video to watch.
Turn the rust bucket into an aeroplane.
why are you showing us a centre punch in close up too?
Starrett automatic centre punch. Looks to be a quality product.
What’s your dads story on working on vehicles🤔
Cut it in half put seats in it make in to a desk sete
