To think I trusted a tin box like his with my life for years. It was fun though.

I'm just staring at the start end of welding on a classic (1960) Mini and this terrific video has given me so many insights into how the panels are connected. Huge thanks to you for such an enormously useful video

Hi paul i did the same on that floor. I just couldn't leave it as it whas.
Also i had the same with the sidepanels of an original 66 cooper s right side whas 9mm longer in the door position than the left side. I pressed an hammerd it 9 mm out. Whas a big challenge. But it worked out really nice. Now the ( original doors fit really snug with allmost to nice of openings around can't remember how it's called😂)

Keep up the nice work. It's allways nice watching a tallented person at work.

Paul , you do outstanding work, this video is a great example of even if you have new body panels there is still a lot of test fitting and shaping and refining that goes in to the job , get the door gaps corrected is a job in it self …

Factory build tolerance for BMC bodyshells was 3/8 " so your bracket measurements are correct. This may help you but I was told at Longbridge 40 years ago when on a course their, Panels that they couldn't fit on the line because they were bad pressings were collected up and sent to parts dispatch for the dealer network ! So some poor panel beater had to make them fit a crash damaged car somehow.

You really know your mini's Paul . So what floor would you fit ? or would you have to modify another makers floor to suit the year in a similar fashion . Thank Paul .

An enjoyable channel. The knowledge and skill is a delight. Fascinated by the variation in bracket positioning left vis right. I recall a tuning company mentioned left and right sides varied in length which made body kit manufacturing complicated. 1960 car assembly was approximate. It is very clever how these are accommodated in the new/old built process. Thanks for an insight into your clever work.

Hey Paul I checked my 1960 Austin and the bonnet hinge mounts are like you described not the same distance from cross member.

Craftsmanship with a big "C"! Beautiful and informative to watch this coming together with skill, precision and intimate product knowledge! Like you, I would have split the decision on the hinge brackets as any misalignment would balance out as equal across the shut line. Obviously not the way the factory saw it

Regarding the bonnet hinge brackets, all I can say is the jig must have been out on the spot welder. I worked on the machine producing the front dash panel and crossmember for the last few years of production. The brackets were slotted into a jig and spot welded. There wasn't much play in the jig.

Just a new subscriber asking what might be an obvious answer, is the MIG welding more controllable than the electric arc welding of old, i remember doing some work on a Morris minor many years ago and remember it was very easy to blow a hole straight through. Thanks.
