I have been looking forward to seeing this since you first mentioned that you were going to remove. What a good detail video you have provided. Thanks very much.

I’m enjoying the mini videos as I am renovating a mini myself keep up the good work. Can I ask what software do you use to make your videos? Cheers

Felt your pain when the bolt snapped and how quickly it escalated. Nice find with the replacement hinge.

Looking to do a lot of my own work as well. Great videos. keep them coming...

Hello mate. Any chance you could list all of the bits you needed to make this renewal. it would help anyone who comes and watches the videos. I am new to this with a T25 and this is one of the things I would like to sort out. Not as bad as yours but will need doing eventually. Plus if you list things from Amazon you can get affiliate links for those parts if you are interested. if not then where ever you got them, same with any of your other videos, like the fuel tank replacement. thanks

hi. Cannot access your facebook page.

I've been digging around your old videos am I'm about to start on my resto, you've done a great job so far. Nice to hear a friendly accent too, I'm Dundee based.

Quite a tussle with the hinges. In my limited experience, the roll pins tend to break rather than wear out. Best wishes.

Looks like you had fun with the hinge 😬. Glad you've got somewhere with it. I feel lucky because mine came out easy. I've just finished my door skins & I didn't enjoy it with trying to get the door to fit in the hole with the new skin on.

A bit of a bummer that you had to do the clutch, but at least you now know that it's done and you won't have it nagging on your mind. Best wishes.

Good Work🎉

Cant wait for the clutch replacement.

What alternator did you use as an upgrade?

i hope you enjoy your camping get away the wife and me used to enjoy camping but at 70 and she said it was a bit of a chore to put tent up it was one of them air tents and was massive we joined the camping and caravan club there sites are really good well worth the fee they charge would recommend them to you well good luck fella

Picking up my first mini in 2 days. My mini is a 1990 Mayfair with 12 inch thin wheels. is it possible to change to 10 inch, is the tyre diameter the same?

Buddy where are you based ?

Why didn't you install one of the jacks so the handle is pointing out to the side of the car instead of to the inside that's pretty awkward operate the Jack from underneath the car also not very safe

Well done get ‘oot an’ aboot’ and enjoy the van and the ‘summer’🤔 Might need new gear linkage bushes or maybe just new gear linkages(not sure what’s available) See you out on the open road..

Brilliant. Very helpful. Will be doing mine tomorrow 👍👍👍

I'm really enjoying the the camper videos. Thanks for taking the time to share.

Wear a mask when spraying Lanoguard!

Very good video! Ordered the cable and I'm up and running! Thank you.

It won’t be long now until you’ll be off out with the family having many new adventures.

Persistence pays off. Well done and best wishes.

Great video. Thanks for sharing. I’ve replaced both rear sensors, cleared the fault code off but the fault for right rear comes back immediately. Any tips or advice on where to go next please? Codes are P15C9 and now getting P152B. Cheers

Do you know where to find an injector for the mini spi?

Hi Dale hope your well sorry I missed you at the show maybe next year 👍, I think I prefer the older ones you have if iam honest, they seem to wide and the wheels don’t seem to turn, I’ve seen people have made theses out of wood and they work really well but in saying that the van will be very heavy

Ive got the same ones on your mini, i think they are crap, wheels down turn that well, the smallest bump and they dont move, i ll be selling mine soon for sure

I think mine are the same as your ebay one's, mine have a handle on the side that seems to catch the wheels most of the time...really annoying!

Your videos are great. Very informative and easy to follow. Keep up the great videos

Thank you so much for sharing this overview on the SPI system. A friend brought his SPI equipped mini over to my shop and it stalls when stopping at a traffic light or similar. I had never seen the SPI before and your video really gave me the type of initial overview information that I had been looking for. Based on what I learned from your video I’ll start with checking and most likely replacing the 4 vacuum lines.

Good work, looking good

Great job to detail. What make primer did you use?

Awesome music on this episode. Nice work. thank you it’s helping us for our mini project too.

Brilliant- looks like DB saves the day again - keep on posting your making my mini life much better with your insights- 🥂

Really coming together now. Best wishes.

Looking good 👍

Watching you weld those tabs & catch brackets reminds me of when did my ecu mount brackets. Takes a lot of time the small stuff.

Great to see it back in to the red paint finish. Looks smart.

nice job what type of paint did you use

Helping me in Seychelles. I'm working on my mokes. Thank You

ACF50 .

You missed out what I believe is the best of them all. Dynax UB (Underbody, a sort of dark brown colour) or UC (the clear version) by Bilt Hamber. Along with just about everything I've seen from Bilt Hamber it's excellent stuff. Sprays on easy, is very thin but evaporates quickly and stays put, doesn't run and it never totally dries, is 'thin film' and can be removed with thinners if needs be, it's 'self healing' so will close up again if chipped or scratched. I've found it over many years to be a very effective long-term treatment and the clear version (UC) is brilliant on a freshly restored car where you don't want to cover it all in black gunge, you can't tell it's on there as it really is clear.

I have used Lanoguard for the last year or so and it has provided good protection to date. Does need re-applying annually but as you have seen it doesn’t take long to spray the underside of a Mini so it is the product I will continue to use for my 2 Minis.

Here in North America, where many roads are heavily salted for up to 6 months of the year, rusting is a huge issue. In my experience, any of the paint type undercoats, rubberized or "truck bed liner" types, all suffer from chipping/flaking because of preexisting rust or just from stone chips etc. Once that begins, water gets trapped in the flaking material and will do serious perforation damage to the metal. Have seen many a long term review on FluidFilm or similar products that are not a drying paint at all. The product stay "fluid" and adhered to the surfaces, seeps into all cracks and cervices, and holds up really well to road spray/grit and grime. I suspect your Lanokote product is similar, using natural lanolin (sheep wool wax), so may be a great option for you. Here is a long term review of FluidFilm used in North America under winter driving conditions: ua-cam.com/video/IGb8aNRliTM/v-deo.html&pp=ygUJZmx1aWRmaWxt

Very informative with a great range of products. Thanks for covering them, as you say it may well help others working on their cars to ascertain which would suit their conditions and the route they go down.

I used Gravitex on my full rebuild mini and thought it was excellent, there's another called Raptor which is supposed to be similar. Por 15 beat all its competitors handsomely on Project Farm YT channel but as you mentioned, the tin is a right pain, the lid seals shut and you have to cut it open, I tried using cellophane before the lid but didn't work, poor design but very good stuff. Not used the Lanogaurd, looks good.

Does the gravitex disguise crap welding?

Thank for the video. Helping me in Seychelles ❤

great work i would have painted the engine bay first
