Classic Mini Restoration Episode 43 - Engine Start And Bits n Bobs

Classic Mini Restoration Episode 43 - Engine Start And Bits n Bobs   / smugwood   Quite a lot going on this episode. We had lights to fit, a wiring loom to go in, the Newton Commercial headlining to put up, windows to install...there was so much to do. We also got the engine running...its first start up since being fitted into the car. The video isnt designed to be a tutorial and is purely for entertainment purposes only...but it does give an insight into what goes on during the rebuilding of the front subframe. Please bear in mind that the videos are quite heavily edited and dont always show every procedure. Thanks for watching and a special thank you to my Patrons David Shrive, Charles France, Mad Hamish, Barbara Joseph, Ryan Davies, and all of my other Patrons.
