Ahh, we have a TIG also, but quite honestly, as most of the fab work has been in 2mm, we haven't really felt it necessary to dust it off. I have no doubt we'll break it out before the end of the build.

Absolutely great series of videos on a fascinating topic by some very talented people! Throw-in some humour and can someone say syndication?

I can wait to see the finished project--because I want to see more and more episodes of the build!!! :D

Seriously, I love the mix of humor and technical info. (From the "Police Squad" opening, complete with Abe Lincoln and the mis-matched spoken and written titles, to the "Romans Go Home" on the board at the end!!)

And boy, you really did luck out with that prop-shaft.

Really missing the Cardboard Aided Design from the earlier episodes. But I understand your saving yourself time filming it. :-)

Great Work, Both Mechanical and Video

Thanks for continuing to share your adventures in creating a very special Mini. Your engineering and fabrication skills are outstanding. Your humor alone is worthy of a multiple watch of each episode.

Having recently visited London, I learned that we speak a somewhat different language. The car from which you took the drivetrain for transplant is known to you as a See-li-ka. We have a car sold in the states we call a sell-I-ka.

Can't wait for the next episode and to see the project complete.
