- A few people have asked about the mk1 boot conversion what they need and how much it costs. I have gone into everything you will need and how much it will roughly cost if anyone is thinking of doing the aame on their car.

Brilliant to hear a genuine account of finances on making your car look this sweet - too many folks go 'oh not that much' which is super unhelpful to people looking Todo this sort of project. Top content as usual, many thanks mate
Thanks Ross, i really try to be real on youtube and not fake like many accounts. Hopefully more people will find some use out of this video
Fair play for putting the figures out , many would not but the end result shows for itself
Thanks for the feedback mate, i was super skeptical about doing it as i dont like talking about money. Its not really what guys come for but i think its helped a few people out.
Having 2 money pits and watching this, I am not surprised at all! Especially not at the cost of paint, that’s a decent price
You know how much they cost then 😂
Loving the workshop, loving the immaculate cars, loving that heater. 👍
Thanks mate 👌
Alex . To be honest l think it's a fair price. Particularly the paintwork . And you can sleep easy knowing you've had a top class job done . Well done Alex .
Thanks John, i thought the paint was reasonable too given the quality of the work i got back
Car is looking awesome, I can't wait for some decent weather and the possibility of some shows so I can get my rebuilt mini out on the road.
Thanks mate, yes get it sorted ready for the shows if they happen this year
Interesting video Alex thanks for sharing. Been around Minis for most of my life and it still pains me how much doing the jobs right costs. And doing it right first time will always save money on the long run without by the need to replace poor quality parts and work.
Yeah minis are certainly not cheap cars anymore so well worth doing things properly
Money well spent Alex it’s added value to the car
Definitely worth it mate
Imagine a 2 post lift in your garage 😍😍
Looking good tho mate stay safe
One day!
Good breakdown Alex, when are you going to drill the boot lid for the rear light? 😂
If someone pays me double market value for the car and buys it 🤣
If you did have to sleep in the garage! It looks a lot warmer and less cluttered than mine!
Cooper S looks good Alex.
Its certainly warm now with my new heater 👌
Ouch! That's a lot more than I would have thought.
Yeah it got kinda pricey mate with the vat ontop too
Worth it for your own sanity , otherwise it will always bug you , I'll make sure I'll go on some ads to help pay 💪
Definitely worth doing mate
Hi Alex, well ya 'S wouldn't look that good done on the cheap hey! Surely given the model it is, you have to do it right 🤔 and the cost is the reality. And yeah, don't tell the missus how much lol! Great stuff 😊
Yeah definitely mate. I think the way i did it was certainly the only option for this car. And yes definitely don't tell the misses 🤣 she often shakes her head at my spending habits
I know a bloke down the pub who's brothers mums step sister would spray 9bootlid for a bottle of whiskey.... admittedly you probably wouldn't fit it on your car...lol.
In all honesty and seriousness, fair play for the video Alex.... not many people would go to the expense of getting the details right like you have.... or, be as open about what it costs..... well done!!
Oh, and you forgot to factor in 3 sets of boot seal clips.... #bastardjob
🤣 Mate i did 4 bags of them 👀
I guess I was pretty luck to pick up an original rust free double skin early boot lid for 35 quid only had to buy numberplate hanger parts 😁
Nice find!
Don’t worry mate it didn’t come across in the wrong way at all. It was interesting.
Thanks mate 👌
no problem with the money side of things my mate...me personally prefer the mk2 though
I do like a mk2 myself mate
What's the difference between early and late boot lids?
The swinging reg plate mate
👍 I worked in China for 20 years and there is absolutely no way I would put anything manufactured in China on a car. The quality is dubious to say the very least.
Yes Chinese parts are absolutely shocking quality
Love watching your videos BUT something is driving me crazy, your into music, what is it called please? Take care
What you mean mate
“Intro”
@@classicminidetails8887 sorry... missed the 'r' from "intro. The music that plays at the start of your video's.
Blimey, I only paid £20 for MK1 Mini Cooper Red/Black roof in 1969.
"Be well young man 👍
Omg. 20 quid 🤣 i wouldn't be able to move if i could get them for that price now
@@classicminidetails8887 ...good Ole days, sold my TR4AIRS back in 72 for just £ 500 :(
Looks much better without the spotlight and you can sell your old bootlid i suppose
Yes certainly looks much better, i did consider selling it but i think it will look great on my garage wall
@@classicminidetails8887 I'm a Morgan man myself but had a 72 Mini back in the day in Black Tulip with Red interior. Did you see the 'Bangers & Cash' CZcams video where they found a Mk1 Cooper S in a derelict garage completely rotten and it sold for £18K at Matthewson Auction?

@@RobCollier1 yes i saw that mate, was eye opening how much that went for and made me realise how good of a car mine was at the time
Hi Alex, (as I’m now in my 46th year of marriage) I can probably guess that your misses is still with you because she loves you, despite your “apparently often mad spending habits on cars” 😊 ha ha! - live long and prosper buddy🖖
🤣 She's great to be fair, she actually told me before i bought the Cooper S to stop going on about one and just buy one because she was sick of hearing me going on about one 🤣 keep safe buddy
You didn't include £75 for spotlight.
Good point as its on the one i took off in the video!
@@classicminidetails8887 looking at prices refurbishing my mini based kit car ,some of the parts bought for a couple of quid 30 years ago absolutely frightening ,got an original lucas spot on rear ,and apparently the mk1 escort front indicators aprox £120 now might have chain them to the car lol .
So including VAT on the parts other than the boot lid it was £900.........did you hear that Hannah? 🤣
Yeah just over 900 mate 👀 wasn't cheap but well worth it
@@classicminidetails8887 I'm more relieved that I got Hannah's name right than owt else. Some might be shocked at the cost but its your hobby and if you're happy that's what counts. After all, have you see what people pay for golf sticks and yearly fees.....now IMO that is a waste of money 🤣
@@graemew7001 its Hayley 🤣 yeah golf is an expensive Hobby. Something thats never interested me that
@@classicminidetails8887 🤦♂️ gutted I got her name wrong......sorry Hayley. Golf annoys me, ever since a golfer took the windscreen out on my car and none of them would own up and the pompous TORY golf club wouldn't take responsibilty for their patron.....cost me a chunk 🤬
Who cares about money ,life is to short to worry ,if that makes you happy then go for it mate ,
100% agree with you on that!
Oh I hope Hayley doesn't watch your videos lmfao
Hayley watches the video..... Classic mini details... * I sold my cooper S here’s why *
@@classicminidetails8887 lmfao!!!! I've sold my cooper s and living in my van
@@thedjse i self isolated in my van but it wasn't from Corona 🤣
Hope your wife doesn't watch these videos 💰💰💰
🤣🤣🤣🤣
