EP9: Engine Disassembly | CLASSIC MINI 25 RESTORATION 

Same here, I discovered the channel a week ago. A Rather different and refreshing style of video.

Thanks Roger & Ravi! 😋

We all need some inspiration once in a while to motivate us for our own projects

Thanks @Chris!! :)

@@restoringaclassic9489 did you remove it from the car like that ? I tought some the carburator or alternator should already be removed to extract it.

Hi @Chris, indeed, I've put the carb and other parts on there again for the video, that's why the bolts and flywheel get out so easy 😂 I think it should be possible to remove the engine without removing the alternator etc., but I've never done it that way. It's always nice to have some clearance to remove it :)

Thanks Yves! 😋

Thanks @datsunruss! I was as amazed as you are about the plastics, didn't think it would clean up that wel 😅

Thanks!! 😋

Thanks Datsunruss! The Mini is on hold for the moment... I'm building a campervan and I don't have enough space to do both projects at once. I hope I can start the Mini project again soon, I think it will take another month to finish the van. Sorry for the long delay in videos 🙂

@@restoringaclassic9489 No worries - thanks for the reply - Looking forward to future content 👌

Thanks Frans! I'm indeed going for a full clean (will check if it's possible to sandblast the outside, not sure if I can seal everything up really good). I also bought some yellow engine paint for the rebuild. I didn't decide yet if the cleaning and painting will be in a video, but the assembly of the engine will be ;)

@@restoringaclassic9489 I would not mind seeing some of the parts being cleaned and rebuild like the other clips of yours. But I do understand it will cost alot of extra time to film it all

Hi Frans, I will keep this in mind when cleaning the parts 😋 I will need to make some protection for my studio lights, as I don't want them to be covered in paint 😂

@@restoringaclassic9489 maybe you can take an idea of the I like to make stuff channel for a paintbooth. He made a reasonbly compact one

Thanks @Frans, I will probably just film without the studio lighting 😋
