Hello!

 

I'm in the process of restoring a 25th anniversary edition mini.

The previous owner painted it blue, but it will be painted back into the original silver color.

 

I'm also filming part of the process, it helps me with not rushing stuff and trying to do things right :) 

I hope this will entertain somebody :)

 

 

 

Kind Regards

FRR

Hello everyone!
 
Here are some new videos!
 
The brake caliper pistons were a bit corroded, so they will be replaced when I've received new ones :) 
 


 
 
 
Kind Regards

Why oh why do you show the fan the wrong way around in the screen shot?

Isn’t it the shroud that’s incorrect though in the image? The bolts would attach the fan the correct way round to the pump. Nice videos by the way 👍

It's indeed wrong on the image, but that's how I disassembled it, I didn't know it was wrong back then :)

Hello everyone!
 
New video is live. 

In the video I'm restoring a master brake cylinder (1984) by replacing the seals and cleaning it up.

I didn't paint the part as it will be replaced anyway (too much scratches in the cylinder).

 

 

 

Kind Regards, 

FRR
