Rally Pack 2000 Posted April 13, 2020 Report Share Posted April 13, 2020 @dt36 is always good at finding great video builds whenever I get really bored (Im pretty sure he does it during work time but dont tell him I said so!) While not Mk2 of course he found the Retropower Mk1 build which now has 16 episodes, that is definitely worth a look till you find more Mk2 Stuff.

DT36 Posted April 13, 2020 Report Share Posted April 13, 2020 Haha, sometimes, maybe it will overrun my lunchbreak by a few minutes 😇 I mostly watch them now sitting on my turbo trainer in the garage. Trying to get a morning and evening session in during lock down. Anyway, here's a fabrication build that shows you just how much work is involved in an old shell. Always impresses me how much skill you lot have when I see your welding and fab posts. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's my general list that I currently go off. Although I am watching a Sierra Cosworth resurrection that I need to add in.

This should hopefully allow certain channels to play consecutively, without you having to choose the next vid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Confused Posted April 13, 2020 Report Share Posted April 13, 2020 @dt36 has kindly already mentioned my channel (Adaptive Engineering) with my series of "Garry's Garage" which I've only just started, doing some stuff with my Anglia. Hopefully later this year I'll also start on restoring/modifying my Mitsubishi Legnum. I'd also add Home Built By Jeff as a strongly recommended channel too. A few more channel suggestions to add: Tom's Turbo Garage The Skid Factory Jaffromobile 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont really have a log in, favourites or anything like that when watching YouTube This is a fairly new set of uploads, so not a lot of in-depth work gone on yet. The episode where they get it running was interesting, looking at some of the methods they used. Some could argue that you would have tried this or that first, but they got there, fair play. Hopefully, they'll start tearing it down more at some point and get into the meat of it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just took a quick peek, there are 5 episodes that I found but hard to determine which order they go in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good watch Marcus Hayes has some good content Usher Engineering, worth a look MK2 Dave is there also Kris Duprey is worth a scan too Salvage Flippers is doing a Cossie, so is Salvage rebuilds uk. Quite a lot of watchable content for mini fans, Stevestonmotorco, Classic mini workshop has some really good content, MED Race Technology has some stuff worth watching also. I’ve found a lot of the Escort videos are mostly slideshows, not many build videos about. Ashleigh Vlogs has one cossie vid, with a mk2 sport making a guest appearance ( looks to me like a SA 1600 sport ) cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
