Building Magnum Panels' Brand New Mk1 Mini Bodyshell For Showcase Exhibition in NEC | Ep1/2
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 вер 2024
- Magnum Classic Car Panels are investing heavily in their Mini products.
I am building this new bodyshell not only to exhibit their new range of products in the NEC in November, but identify issues with the existing products so they can be improved upon too.
This will ultimately become a cafe racer style race car.
After leaving me it will be fitted with a full weld in Historic style rollcage.

Great to watch a true craftsman / body builder / mini specialist at work. 👍
Now that is detail, a man after my own heart, great work, Regards Doug.
The FB posts are great, but the real detail comes in these YT videos. Thanks for informing and inspiring us all!
I'm glad they help people out
Paul,yu a right stickler for originality,well done for your attention to detail,keep going!!!!
Magnum are great panels & they’re really pushing ahead to continually improve. Fantastic work as always Paul.
Just wow, the rear window mod....incredible work.
@@RTC057 in the next video you will see me fabricating the other side and fitting them both
Paul, you’re a real craftsman and attention to detail. You’re really good at lysin in the panels so you can’t see that they’ve but joint and Modified well done
looking forward to seeing the end result at the classic car show!
This is true craftsmanship!!
Superb as always
Respect for your BMC passion and knowledge, meticulous and neat work; thoroughly enjoyable video! Watching from Perth, Western Australia.
superb workmanship 👍
Did anyone else get Binky flashbacks??
I've never got round to watching it myself
Another great video, Paul!
As also first class attention to details Paul, true craftsmanship 👍
Thankyou
Why I have the impression that micro automotive manufacturing will thrive in the forthcoming years?
Absolutely love you videos!
Please get some protection on you hands and arms whilst welding though! We’d like you to be able to continue to make these videos for many years to come!
35 year old habits die hard
No question Paul , you know these like the back of your hand , which is why your work will be at the NEC . That last footage of cleaning of the flitch ......what's the purpose ? I guess tne unit doesn't have 3 phase ? Thanks Paul
I had welded up a hole in that area so had to make it look nice. no, no 3 phase
Paul, great skills, great knowledge and great vid. Was going to say better than new but that wouldn't have been hard now would it.🤣🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣
Love seeing it in person rather than FB post Paul. Are those rear valance closing panels Magnum as well.
Yes they are Magnum
@@PWCV-YT It’s great that Magnum are expanding range of panels. Shows how strong the Mini restoration scene is. Old Minis never die,they just get rebuilt 😀😀
@@kerryminigringo absolutely
Another great video.What make is your spot welder? Thanks
I can't remember off the top of my head but I have a short video coming out about it soon
Well done Paul 👍🏆🇬🇧. How much to do a mini van do you think? Cheers .
I would need a lot more information on what you need. Send an email with pictures of the van and what needs doing with it
So, I've always fancied building something like this from scratch. Any rough indication how much a completed shell would cost in parts?
I'm sorry, I have no idea of the cost of the parts. Magnum supplied them all to me
I have a R. H. front nose section from a early (59 or 60) mini mk 1 assembly.
It lacks The separate "A" panel and resembles the new magnum
panel, I guess BMC decided to make the body more repairable
after a frontal crash by adding the separate "A " panel.
@@jimhall9624 the A panel was never separate on a saloon, it was a one piece pressing but was it separate on van and pickup models
No weld through primer?
No, I was asked not to on this one
Hi Paul, are you able to provide a cost for putting one of these together for me please pal..
I don't know the cost at the moment but I'm unlikely to do it again tbh
At 5:56 are you spotweld only two layers together ? I mean the stiffener panel to the boot floor, but NOT the closing panel
There are 3 thicknesses there. The bootfloor and the valance closing panel which is 2 thicknesses itself
@@PWCV-YT Yes I know it, I am also restoring a Mini :) The stiffener has an area where it is not connected to the closing panel, just to the floor, right? Do you spotweld the whole closing panel to the boot floor at only this area ?
@@csakbencee Ah, I see what you are asking now, It should be spotwelded in the 2 thickness area and in the 3 thickness area. It's important to spotweld near to where the subframe mounting bolts go through because if they are not pulled tight together they will distort as the bolts tighten which will crack the paint and lead to rusting in that structural area
@@PWCV-YT Thank you ! I am not sure if my spotwelder powerful enough for 3 layer but I will make some test
I know this might attract hostile comment .....but .....why not spend all of that time and effort on something worthwhile.......mk1 escort ?
If there was demand ?
How boring another overrated Ford🤫
Because you don't build an Escort to showcase your new range of Mini panels
They were both rot boxes ! I had loads of minis in the day and mk1 escorts, both over rated in my opinion but I did learn how to gas weld long before mig welders were available and made a fortune every weekend welding sills and wings etc, I would get my oxy and acetylene changed at the local scrap yard, there were regular customers for welding at mot time , people would even have their exhaust welded up !
Theres plenty of other people doing mk1 escort shells like this.
