TL;DR

Two guys from England are stuffing a Celica All-trac drive train in a classic mini.

That is like saying a Miata is a four cylinder economy car.

WOW, I have some you tube to watch.

In reply to Donebrokeit:

Pay attention to the things they have written on the whiteboard. Also, enjoyment of BOM requires being somewhat fluent in Monty Python and other culturally similar things.

Thanks for the update - I've been waiting for the next installment.

That was awesome, thanks for sharing.

You butt holes, I wasted a whole afternoon on this. Fun build though.

I have enjoyed this series this afternoon. Really makes me want to learn how to weld all that much more.

Glad I wasn't the only one binge watching it...

Brilliant hinge mechanism

Oh, and Red Dwarf too. Read the credits

Hello, Graveyard Carz... Won't you watch these videos and LEARN A THING OR TWO???

You CAN learn and be entertained! Who woulda thought?

The British humor is what makes this so great, I'm not sure any American could pull it off and be as entertaining. I'm a pretty big Monty Python fan though.

In reply to moparman76_69:

I agree but at least it shows that you can actually show real content and that filming a jack-o-lantern carving contest on your car restoration show may be a poor choice.

Much awesome. A local shop did a 944 turbo drivetrain swap on a mini thats ratty but awesome.

In reply to evildky:

Life is too short to not own something like that!

In reply to ebonyandivory:

Life WILL be too short if you own something like that...

Those wheels are way too big to own something like that.

I don't know sometimes cartoonish dimensions are cool.

Man, I'm glad this video came up while I'm killing time at my parents place 1200 miles from my shop. That way I could watch all of them without feeling guilty about not being productive. But it does make me think about fabbing something (anything) out of sheet metal.

The Bad Obsession guys make me feel like such a hack. I need to go down to the garage and apologize to the MG. Binky is a work of art.

And a great example of why you don't want to buy a car from a rust-prone area!

Certainly reminded me of a lit of the "fun" I've had with old cars in the UK thanks to the well salted roads.

also the main guy built that rack/rotisserie that the car is being built with.

Finally got around to watching the new episode. Now it's back to the waiting for the next episode game. I agree with Keith, Binky is a work of art.
