Yes it is lovely.. maybe time for another one Bob?

@@captainchaos3053 yes I did, it's ok now though

@@graceenginedevelopments Glad to see another minor still going strong. Mine is a 69 traveller. Almond green. Stock standard. Great little cars. Nice to see you break the edges to avoid glowing. The only modification on my minor is a pair of roll pins that match up my manifold correctly.

Yes there a great car, I like them in green as well.

@graceenginedevelopments I'm subbed, like your work and appreciate that you do care about your customers.

@captainchaos3053 thank you very much.. I like the feed back and opinions too.. never stop absorbing info

There a great car

Thanks Ed, yes it is.. you too 👍

@@Free_Ranger_CT110 that would of been a tricky fix in situ

@@graceenginedevelopments yeah, gearbox out...

@Free_Ranger_CT110 definitely a rubbish job that

It's a lovely car.. I'd like to use it in the summer

Yes I definitely think it needed something

That's interesting, yes it was copper

Love that.. thank you

That's awesome, definitely wouldn't do that now to get someone home.. yes the bypass hose is a pain

Make you right. My husband was an AA patrol, started in 1975. He said that that bloody by pass hose was a nightmare. At least the convoluted replacements were slightly easier to squeeze into situ.

I don't know Justin to be honest.. they do use their cars though so quite possibly then.

@@graceenginedevelopments They both could hardly see over the dash with their silver locks, if it was !! Weirdly I have also seen a british racing green woody as well, locally and wondered if that was the engine you built previously. Seem 'common' around here That had stickers on the back side windows as well . Think I am going mad 🤣

@justinsheldon5015 😂😂 don't know about the green one.. might be a sign you need one

@@graceenginedevelopments Too much time at Browns place eating bacon sandwiches on a Saturday morning watching everything rolling in. I'll stick with my MX5 ND for sunshine driving . I used to build A series engines for my '61 mini when I was in my teens. Now thats too long ago to think about . Seeing the minis at Browns makes me wonder about how small they were. I take it you know the Powell family and their minis?

Thanks mate.

Thanks Derek, kettle is always on.

Yes Dave I probably should have really.. it definitely looked like it was leak though

Should of check torqued it like the instructions say. You can't torque a copper gasket cold and just expect it to be fine. No need for sealant which will cause problems further down the line.

@@captainchaos3053 it was retorqued

@graceenginedevelopments Oh OK. I have seen hundreds of these fitted on the bench and then leak once in the car because they forgot or didn't know to heat cycle the copper. I'm not saying your a bad builder just that alot of young guys don't understand copper gaskets as they don't really use them in modern cars.

@captainchaos3053 yes I completely understand what you mean.. we've fitted lots of them

That's funny Dame Edna was quick with the one liners

Thanks Ray

Thanks mate

@@martinhibbert1428 I do think the gasket was leaking a bit to be honest.. definitely wasn't after the change.

@@davidball9815 thank you.. I was honestly shocked how nice it was to drive

Thanks mate, been filming a certain lotus today

Thanks mate, when you coming to see us?

@@johnkendall9776 yes I did, to be honest I should of wellsealed it on the original build.. my customer was very good about it, so we just replaced it. It's a lovely car so needs to be right.

A pair of beauties, credit to owners 😍

Thanks David, yes both are lovely

@@allyburg7145 thank you

@@Original_sneakman next year then mate

@@stephenhoskins1532 thank you

Thank you

Thank you

@@mreuropa88 yes it was.. we should of met up if we knew

@@graceenginedevelopments Yeah went with my mate in his Carrera 4s! We went and had a drive in the Ineos Grenadier at a nearby Quarry...bloody good bit of kit!

@mreuropa88 awesome

@@user-gs2ur9lp2b thank you

Yes they did put the rover V8 in from the factory so it's a popular conversion.

Thank you.. I like tr6s as well but I think personally I'd choose an mgb. Both would nice though

Thanks Kevin

It was amazing there.. I'm not sure I didn't see under the bonnet

Where did you start so much to see, I have a new bucket list not sure about the colour of the sky it terrified me . Kit from down

@christophercullen1236 it was awesome. We missed a fair bit, needed a couple of days to make the most of it..

Thank you

Thank you, that's awesome you'll love it. Good luck

Thank you

Thanks Stu, we are racing at donington park next.

Thank you

Thanks Kevin.. it was definitely twitchy but massive fun.

Thanks mate

It was awesome, good clean racing

I wouldn't dare say that

Thanks James, be great to see you at the next one

Hi Kit, yes I've got 13kilo off at the moment and I still need more to come off.. the 12 car uses a duratec engine which has approximately 20hp more and 20lbft of torque more, the wet conditions made it a great race though. We will have to move you up from apprentice soon.

@graceenginedevelopments wait till we get some more HP out of the Red top then l will ask for fish and chips

I'll treat you to fish and chips

Yes it's a good cam

@@edsmachine93 thanks Ed

It was mega mate
