Useful hint for the ladies: if your rampant rabbit starts making angry noises, try swapping the batteries.

Note: Jaffa Cakes were harmed in this episode.

When are we going to get a new episode ?

Museum of modern Art. Everywhere. Everywhere.

"and dont call me shirley" love police squad jokes

Hey, loving the project. Haven't seen all the episodes yet and know this one is 4 years old, but is that still how the steering rod ends are attached to the struts? Worried you might end up with vague / unpredictable steering if there's too much flex from steering arm to bearing...

Love their knowledge of wizards

what did you do with the celica chassis?

why do people dislike this stuff?

Problem with the build... Nick has 99 solutions that will all work perfectly and 3 that are entirely over engineered and full future proof for reliability, accessibility and effectivity... GOTTA LOVE IT!!! :D

Thank you

A combination I never knew I needed..... detailed car building instructions combined with Monty Python-esque humor....cheesy comestibles indeed! Got any Venezuelan Beaver Cheese?

im new to this- totally hooked- how many more episodes are there?

i have got to tell you sir i would of loved to be involved with the billing of that car.

sooo are you actually using the old rusty celika parts or them just for mockup ...

I over engineer everything I do

I've discovered this channel today and i'm relly enjoing it. Make me laught a lot when thinking of all those suckers who thinks they are great engineers and try to transform their car in a sport cars by adding coil over struts and direct air intake. ROTFL

Bop Now just a proper mechanic bloke here.give him a wrench and he will fix anything

You guy's a awesome !! keep up the great work !! Love the tunes too !!

Why did you not mid mount the engine with shorter prop shafts?.

So has any one realized that so far the only thing left from the original car is the roof lol

"We did want an intellectual to do that piece", haha, didn't understand it even when Rich explained it :-D

SELL_A_KA

all that changing is part of a costom build

Love what you are doing, fascinating engineering but personally I would like a bit more process and a bit less humoo. This is seriously good stuff you’re doing from wich I am learning loads. Thanks

It's September 2019 and I'm patiently (lie) waiting for the final episode to drop , see this thumbnail, and ... awww, noooo.

Ooooooohhh, we have new funk!

I love your channel since I foudn it. So down to earth but addictive to watch

Ah, the ubiquitous Airplane reference.... Well played, good sir.

it would be kind of funny to see all of the cad templates stuck together. you could probably make another entire car, just out of templates.

Nik really is a "WIZZARD"

oh deary me 3:35 - 4:02 thas some seriously sexy stuff lol

Setting Ackermann angles is done by positioning the track arm end mount in relation to the pivot of the hub, typical in a manner to where they make a line heading towards the centre of the rear axle. As the pivot of the hub is a line between the ball joint at the bottom and the suspension top mount, it means the line actually angles inboard as it goes up, so by mounting the track end higher the correct location will be further in, also as the wheelbase has been shortened this will also make it further in, so you might actually have got lucky and found the right place by accident

2+2 s people plus 2 ameoba.

"More of a Rincewind than a Gandalf" Best line ever

2015: "it works well enough to at least give it a try on the road" (25:37) 2019: ...

love it.

Amazing! I had so much I needed to do at home today - but I ended up binge watching 11 episodes of this instead. Oh well, if I end up getting divorced you'll be hearing from my solicitor. You have been warned.

Before I die, I want to use soupcon in a sentence :)

And please tell me you’re going to at least clean up those old Toyota parts you’re using? Parts like the engine? 😂

So... all that fabulous fabrication work and you’re using knackered out old suspension parts which are not easily replaceable? You should get fresh suspension and brake parts! And these high wear items should be off the shelf replaceable.... you have that option now....

Man... seriously clever fuckers you lot !

Seriously late to the party but when I saw the track rod mount solution the first thought through my head was, "Huh, just like my Saab."

You guys are truly amazing. If you ever get to long island, I want to buy you guys some pints.

Proper Ackermann geometry is why the steering wheel with self-straighten after reversing out of your driveway when you start going forward.

Fantastic! Even Urchfab's impressed (he says)

Who said anything about the end of Great British Engineering?! (Yanks, that's who...)

*Mock up twice, modify once*

This is by far the best build programme i have ever watched ! hope you guys are still recording and producing videos. Very Professional and enjoyable, better than TV suported content ! keep it up

I'm in pain watching this... it would NEVER EVER pass engineering for it's road worthy here in Australia. You just can't use fully customised stuff like that, you have to be able to buy replacement components for these consumable items that wear over time and will on occasion need replacing.

To think it all started with me watching episode 18 window wipers....and I started watching from the begining

is that key fob from a land rover?

I got the Rincewind reference!!

In color !!!

Sisy-ph***ing-ean?!?!!

Math is hard......

16:22 I drive a 356 Porsche; looks good to me! And the time spent on steering geometry is a curative to those TV/internet "Build your hot-rod in a half an hour!" BS sessions. Brings back memories of the 11(!) years I spent building my hot-rod 356...

Those are dc5 seats right they kinda look different but it’s been a while since I have seen one. Assuming they are slightly different in the USA.

This intro is brilliant!

Sir what kind of welding is this, mig or tig?

I have 5 more episodes, and 2 hours to watch them... you do the math... this is just so awesome...

🤩🙏👍

Why not use a different shock that has the mounting for the steering integrated - like the Land Rover Freelander 1 does??

No need for atan in the schoolboy math. We can make use of the fact that for small angles, sin(α) ≈ α ≈ tan(α), so we only need to convert radians to degrees, and the calculation goes 75/4400. * 180 / 3.14159 = 0.9766, which is precise within 4 decimal places. I use this calculation all the time when setting up the wheel geometry.

You guys are amazing fabricators!! Learned alot about templates and welding on bits...

Do you have a video of how you fabricated your err [cough] 'bender' [cough]?

For those interested in "true Akkerman geometry" while " getting the funk out" : fipost.info/show/videot/uKR924mciW5_rWM.html

7:55 Make the noise.........

You guy's are nuts that's why i love your videos............

Second time watching through this whole series.. enjoying it just as much as the first time, if not more!

I think you need to make your own custom bottom arms.. I'm guessing the front suspension is the area you have to address, again, in the episode 16.

this is far more than your average rebuild...this is I don't know...sheer bloody genius! Thanks for sharing...bloody brilliant... Dave

pure genius! there must be times when you guys just want to bang your heads on Binky's chassis rails. but you always come up with a neat solution to every challenge. Seeing how much time and effort goes into solving issues like setting up the steering to minimise bumpsteer, or to check the steering Akerman, makes me wonder how those American custom builders manage to complete their cars without (apparently) giving those things s single thought..........

Airplane jokes... that's two thus far Shirley.

you guys are awesome

Just one bloody thing after another, innit

Rincewind, Binky... ah Mr Pratchett

why not tubular?

used to watch mighty carmods but ive been hooked with this mini ever since I gave episode 1 a try. you gentlemen are genius. this is the most exciting and involved car build ive ever heard of. and what better car than a japanese 2.0 litre turbo to use!

Rincewind lol ...just subbed. =)

Funky fresh!

Did you guys go to school with Greg Davies?

Was hoping the ignition would go on the dash for a push button starter.

more than a rincewind than a gandalf love that reference

So I've been rewatching this, and have been trying to figure out how much of the donor mini remains. As far as I can tell, it's just the roof and windows, most of the rear seat back, and i think maybe a bit inside the car under the rear windows. And a VIN.

WIZARDS!!!

do we all have a inner ed china?

I'm pretty sure there's no "r" in lasagne. 2:20

alright. which lancia?

Best quality build I have ever seen filmed so far! But......you have ruined it for me. What will I do when I am done with these? Watch kittens like the rest of internet? Basically you need to start a new project!

This is already 3 episodes behind, but I'm still wondering what's going to happen with these transverse braces on the bottom of the car.. I mean, it's almost as if they've been forgotten and you guys mentioned that chassis fabrication is basically done, but.. You're surely planning to fabricate something of your own to replace it, aren't you?

By welding new steering brackets you made them way weaker. Why do you think the engineers attach tie-rod ends right to the hub with a big meaty lever? Because the forces are enormous and in that position, you have the best leverage. Please, please please make some connections to the original holes for the tie-rod ends. Or you might end p in a ditch...

But we can't be arsed!!!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

thanks for for the new episode. Looking forward to the next.

couldn't find an aswere to this in the comments, but hypothetically, if the struts needs replacing, I guess you also have to refit the brackets for the track-rods?

Good work. But a little question is still not answered allready. If the shock absorbers broke, you have to build this construction again? So hopefully there is another pair made for replacement ;)

Fantastic build, I started at Episode 13 and have been working backwards. Having fantastic fun seeing your engineering processes and the progress thus far. Good luck and I can't wait to see this machine in operation!

what tires and rims are you using

aahhh umm episode 14 ? cummon guys I'm itching to see what's next

was really great viewing but you then mentioned chris harriss and i fell asleep with bordem LOL
