Nice and looking forward to your update.
I have restored my two classic mini too a few years ago and very satisfied with it. It’s worth for the efforts.
Do enjoy your upcoming upgrades too.
Cheers,
Set
I would. But hope the work is high quality. My mini needs a full body renovation, so take care of your mini body too.
You found the best "doctor" in town there is. Good luck on your "rehabilitation" journey. 🤗
Great job Thomas...its a keeper...my family have 5 of these, been a keeping a number of classic minis since 10-15 years ago....great to see more people like yourself appreciating it... its a car that i enjoy driving and it turn heads, without a doubt
Yep. No other car make or model in the world looks, drives and feels like this. Truly unique
Looking forward to the journey of the Classic Mini
Me too!!!
Well done, do the job properly and keep the Mini for life.
Yep gonna do that!
What a beautiful lovely car. Keep it up Thomas
Cheers!
Finally the Mini!
Yep! Finally!
I like this vehicle
It’s worth renovating
Me too. No.. I love it. haha. I can't imagine letting go of this one.
Since you need to remove the engine to fix all the gaskets... Since you are you, you probably can't sleep if you don't fix it as near as original. Yup, you have the funds. By all means, go do everything that makes you smile more. It's a Mini!
Oh yeah. Vote for British Racing Green 🙋🏻♀️
Yeah. since im gonna take the engine out, might as well go all the way. haha... The rabbit hole begins.
Thanks! I think I'm leaning towards that too!
Yes, also please do a K20 swap while you're on that :)
Haha.. I think the current engine in the mini is plenty fast.
Being a classic mini owner and having restored my car ..i can't justify restoring the engine for 30k.. i know 3 mini specialist known in the groups who can do it for 10k.. for 30k, i'm having a crazy high performance engine with high cams, webers, dry deck and so on.. maybe even Omega pistons
Thanks for sharing bro. I was thinking of having high cams etc. But I didn't want the car to be too strung up.
Where is this place ? workshop Location ?
Why not? You can build your own signature Mini
Hi Thomas, i also own a SPI, the 35 Anniversary model. Firstly where is the shop in Yr video located n does it have a name? U mentioned u planned to replace the brake components to original, in my opinion, the original brake sux, better to keep the upgraded ones. Lastly I seriously feel the amount u estimated is wayyy too high. Restoring a gearbox won't cost more than 2K. I done it so I know. RM15K to Rm20K is more than enough bro for a great restoration n upgrade. This includes some great upgrades from Mini Spares. Rgds
I got it. Thanks for your feedback bro. a big chunk of it comes from buying a new 5 speed crosslink gearbox. Otherwise it'll be nearer to 25k. And I'm also putting a higher price expectation so I won't be surprised haha.
PS. that's super awesome you have the 35 anniversary model!
Seems like a ridiculous amount of money for so little to be done!
Can share the address lf thsi workshop, would like to drop by next visit to Kl. Thanks
It's not a workshop bro. Details in the video description text.
@@ThomasYap can go there to look for mini seats ?
@@michaellee1500 Yep. For sure can
Auto foam?
Would definitely consider it!
Have group? I want to join. I have mini
Sorry im not part of any mini group as of now.
Please donate just a bit to dog shelters.
