What a lovely 35 minutes spent, with a cup of tea, watching these two Geordies at work. Maybe......., just maybe, next time they could have some great Geordie music as the backgroud. The Animals, Chris Rea or Dire Straits

A pleasure to watch. Put the next episode up please Martin

That's how Mark and Rich converted a 1990 ish shell into a Mark 1.

The car is now built into a very nice 1966 Mini Minor that is about to embark on a road trip to the Canary Islands.

Not only did they do the work they also took the time to record the steps and then create the time lapse video to share with other enthusiasts. Thank you.
