Wow, was not expecting that Tom. Video was great as usual then it changed from enjoyment to realisation of life and how right you are about living each day. Sorry for your loss.

A very touching tribute to your grandad mate. Kindest thoughts to you and your family. Incredible content as ever - incredibly watchable.

Tom really sorry to hear about your Grandad, as you quite rightly say life is short way too short to be anything but happy!

Lovely tribute Tom always difficult to lose somebody that is that close to you

So sorry for you to tom , lovely tribute , cannot wait to see this 1380 come along , and we’ve all been there it’s very upsetting but not much we can do except do them proud 👍

Sorry for your loss mate. Lovely tribute to him. You'll always have the memories with him. All the best to you, slap-ed and the rest of the family!

Sad news about your grandad Tom. We are over in Australia and wanting to come back to see our families in the uk but can't because of covid. Tough times.

Sorry for your loss fella. 😔

Sorry for your loss! My mom was also born in 33’. Unfortunately my Dad and grandparents are also past away. I know your pain. You sound like your doing ok. Those back in the day stories are the greatest memories of mine too.

Wow - that got me :-) Lovely tribute at the end - wasn't expecting that! So hard when these things happen. Wise words.

Its the memories that will comfort your family,as i write i'm thinking of my grandfather my heart goes out to you.

So sorry for your loss. Keep up the great work.

The new engine will be a game changer. So sorry for your loss. As you say, live every day and die trying. Best wishes

Condolences to you and your family Tom - lovely tribute

Such a sad time for you and your family. The video was a great tribute to your Grandfather, I’m sure he is so proud.

Aww sorry Tom. Feel for you. Hang on to those memories with him.

Tom, I'm sorry to hear about your grandad, he sounded like a great roll model. Bereavement is the reason I first got the spanners out on my restoration. Mini projects are a wonderful family bonding experience and help with the grief. On you last comment of trying, you sir don't have to worry. From what I see with the house restoration and this channel as well as the general editing skills and attention to detail, not to mention I see you have replied to every comment below shows us just how hard you try and the fantastic results you achieve. Keep it up and bring on the noise 👍

Sorry for your loss of your grandfather and now your grandmother too Tom. Often there is no rhyme nor reason as to why things happen, and at times life can be very tough and cruel. But I’m sure both your grandparents were extremely proud of you and all you’ve achieved. You’ll have them in your heart forever. Someone once said “Don’t cry because it’s over, Smile because it happened “. Cherish their memories, talk about them often and they’ll always be there to watch over and guide you. Take care bud ❤️

Tom that was so lovely of you thanks a lot love from Nan Aka beryl xxx

So sorry for your loss lovely tribute

Another exceptional video Tom. I always admire the detail and perfection that you bring to each task and the results speak for themselves. A very emotional end to the vid, got a proper lump in my throat watching it. I totally agree with the ethos of living life to the full after nearly losing mine in a road accident almost twenty years ago to the day. Thoughts and best wishes to you and your family, Tim.

Sorry for your loss lovely tribute and top video

Another brilliant update tom, a very sad ending though, I'm sure that your grandad will be watching over you to make sure that you reach your goals in life, RIP Alf ❤

Great video, the Mini is coming along nicely it will be amazing when its done. 👍 I just wanted to say that I'm sorry for your loss, its always difficult losing someone close to you.

So sorry for you lose, I be he had some amazing stories to tell.

Condolences Sir. 🇿🇦

Sorry about your Grandad mate, lovely words

So sorry to hear about your grandfathers passing pal😥

Uprating a mini is fraught with problems a big increase in power requires brakes handling drive train tyres etc you often find the extra power soon finds weaknesses. Far better in my opinion is to have a track car on trailer and a stock on the road .

Nice. Apparently Toon is going to smoke you though?

❤

Someone should be manufacturing these still and forcing every high school in the USA to completely disassemble and reassemble every year for a class to learn the basics of cars.

Curious, why not just drop the subframe with the engine and transmission attached?

Last conversation, no way your gonna be working on the mini talking to him and he’ll find a way to let you know their also with you

What type of exhaust you using.

After this the car still classic??

Could I win? I live in Vegas . Peace to your grandad.

Ndbfbsksocksnandkrkwndlwn - keyboard mess 👍👍. Great videos man. Love the work and content. Stunning car ❤️. What a loving tribute. Hope your doing ok.

Please accept my sincere condolences 😔

Rest in peace .

Why build the car in the first place, having spent all that money on bodywork to put a 998 back in, crazy. Even the 1380’s aren’t that fast, it’s more a bare minimum they need than making it ‘fast’ Hope it’s a proper 1380 with a decent cam and head and not some limp-wristed mild cam afair?

So sad!
