Binge-watching the entire series for probably the third time this year - still amazed at what you two can do in your shed, you are incredible engineers and designers. This car is probably going to end up as 25% mini 40% celica 5% MG and 30% hand-made by the time you are done.

"May have gone too far" is surely BOMs motto, whats it like in Latin

You've got to pitch this lot, as is, to Ch4, it's the best programme type I've seen.....very well done lads. xxphil UK

The thumbnail provides all the proof I need that this series is for me. Two men stand beside their shiny new toy. One, Richard, is looking very happy. The other, Nik, is reading its instruction manual. Oh yeah. That's right, all you other so-called men. He's reading the instructions. A man with the guts, nuts and brains to RTFM! [Read The Funking Manual.] Do you have any idea what that does to a woman? Yes, I'm a woman, but I don't come with an instruction manual. I've found that a mug of tea and a packet of Hobnobs is quite sufficient to make me co- Sorry, this Comment censored itself. If someone will kindly press my 'Reset' button, I'll have a go at typing that bit again. Whaddya mean, you can't find the bu- ;-)

The amount of lightweight metals used makes this project an aeroplane, rather than a car. Love it!

That Police Squad intro!! *chef's kiss*

Those doors are works of art fellers.

This is just a wild thought and I know it's being expressed almost 2 years after the making of this episode. However, I do wish to say that without airbags in place, that sheet of metal in the knee area does not look very appealing in the case (no matter how far fetched that thought would be) of a frontal crash. I would suggest some plastic trim off a car that has a shape as near as possible, with some love from all the tools that Nik loves. A Vauxhall Corsa C has such a plastic trim piece, if I may suggest

16:29 Cutting Aluminium with Slitting Disc Tip: Bar of Soap Basically this is so it doesn't clog up the disc with Alu, due to melting from friction. You could also clean it up by cutting Scrap PVC from time to time.

This whole series really should have been sponsored 100% by the makers of those grinders (80%) and step drills (20%) .... ;)

you have a nasty habit of leaving us on "i have a plan" clifhanngers, luckily im in the future and can just skip to the next episode

I happened to be driving around in a facelifted K11 Micra from the turn of the century and I am so happy to see that at least one part from that nice, simple and honest car found a place in your awesome project

12:00 this song is very similar to pride and joy by Stevie ray vaugh& double trouble

I feel like we've strayed away from funk and are now just in plain rock and roll...

Burn it. Burn it with fire. 🤣🤣🤣

I’d kill for that Tom’s racing steering wheel 😩 been trying to find one for my corolla

As a drummer those beeps being in time with the montage music, completely satiated my OCD. (overly complicated editing? maybe..)

Once again astonishing work gentleman! Bindging through the series and cannot wait to see the end result! :D

Aluminium inside a car is always a luxury

Oh, I'm so glad you obtained a new drill press- 'er, I mean pillar drill as you call it. Every time I watched that previous machine wobbling and wiggling about, it drove me crazy! So thank you!

Ok what I want to know is how many clamps have you accidentally welded to the project? I don’t know why....

nice one very nice keep up the good work

Minis are hydroscopic, that is some funny stuff

The door armrests look like toilet seats with foot rest's.

It should be called " Alumini ". Great project and I love to watch your work !

you guys would like the band flux capacitor..............

Your music is cleverer than you are. Marginally.

I swear: Nick is my spirit animal! Lol! Cheers, guys.

The door cards are fantastic

Waterproof panel board is available for door cards and such. Your fab skills are off the charts, however I have a feeling that it's going to sound like an aluminum can inside the car at this point. I really hope not, but time will tell.

Yes. Blame us for every unnecessary extravagance that you build in. You'll thank us later.

The Micra stuff... was that just dumb luck or was it planned?! It seam a bit much to be "Just happens to be exactly what we need"

Brilliant ....totally Brilliant! ;-)

You guys need to invest in some proper flushcutters. No more lacerations!

Aaaahh the K11 Micra, another car that converts itself to brown dust effeciently too. Once put a jack through the sill panel on one of them!

More iron in this car than a dying star.

Your work is just incredible Fantastic Big respect from Germany

AAAAAaaaah I've started panicking! I've just watched episode 28 and realised Binky will be finished soon, so I'm watching previous episodes to calm myself down. I there a Binky self-help group out there somewhere (more brackets, I must have more brackets).

"Before the top part of the molding is carefully clipped on." *Slam*

Why go and buy one,,,,,,ah you know what's coming up

Gentlemen, I am quite enjoying your job on "Binky" and the details and quality are far above the Colonist idiot box programming. Brings me back to the time before M.S. robbed me of my hands, mind and body. You men do put a smile on an old gals face, thank you. However, you online shop doesn't have "Ralph" Understandably, your merchandise is for the fans, supporters and active petrol heads. But having "Ralph" or something of the sort would be great for those gals still in the field and or retired from it. Anyway, thanks guys and much love to you both. ~Ruby

How does Nik manage to cut such a perfectly straight line with that angle grinder? Is he a natural talent or is there a course available?

I cannot believe it ! I've viewed Binky videos a lot...some several times but I missed this one...can you fellers ever forgive me ?

You guys are awesome, have been loving watching the progress of Binky. Hanging out see the finished product ... please though, do me a favour and don't paint it yellow

It’s all very well having speakers but where’s the stereo going?

What's Nicks day job?

I know you have one, So Why didn't you use your plasma cutter , Running Argon from your tig through it instead of Air = zero clean up

Door card will vibrate and drive you nuts! That's why the make em outta hardboard, sound deadening...looks very cool though!

I dig the cross-shaft to feed the steering pump and air conditioner, but what about bearings in the shaft housing - or did I miss something?

Very impressive, I didn't catch the details on the seats you've chosen. Looks like they might fit my old Triumph GT6, what are they?

A bit of the old in/out ! Superleggera console, tig, mig, blues, funk, tea and biscuits! Perfect Friday viewing. Chapeau!

Pillar drill. That's a new one, here on Oz they are drill press. Anyways semantics, keep up the great work you pommy gits. Just saw it actually called that on the sticker on the gearbox cover lol. That's as bad as calling Aluminium "Aloominum". I honestly expected more boys......

19:58 Ugh, don't drill in your hand! Look at it! It's a right old mess now...

For cable tie cutting I recommend flush cutters which do away with the barb being left by standard side cutters. RS Components and Knipex do some nice examples but I imagine there are plenty of other manufacturers. I spent years panel wiring and using many hundreds/thousands of ties a day. Or if you want to splash out there are automatic tension and cut guns for cable ties that have adjustable tension settings, Cable Craft have some nice ones of those.

Only Nik could drive a Group 4 Stratos and only talk about the driving position

I've worked with free alloy & stainless sheet a fair bit; and suspect the material above is a bit soft (NS3 - designed for punch out on a big CNC punch). Possibly look at some NS4 for other bits. It drills far better.

That 'slurp' of tea was too much....

... the only utube videos with the best music.

Awesome work but but can you guys get this thing running already?

Saw a couple episodes ago you bought a battery in stead of fabricating one...…..slackers. Seriously, do you still laugh when someone tells you guys something can't be done?

Mad hardboard, eh? Mad? Mad. Maaaaaaad.

big up G.B.------ f__k the eu/uk corpse

Well I love my Linda She's long and lean Mess with her You'll see a man get mean!

you guys like aluminium!

I love that touch of the Italian Job in the last line.

What door card clips did you use here? where can I find them?

I don’t know what to say anymore... Perfection? 10/10 😎👏👏👏

Fabricators wet dream.. immense respect chaps!

thank you for the speed holes

Cup holders that actually fit cups!!! Great work as always

Since the mantra of this build seems to be "Over engineer and over build everything."...but hey, I get it, have you considered some nifty quick release mechanism in lieu of mere bolts for the seats, at least the near side one , to facilitate ease of access to your electrics...???

Out of my perverse curiosity...how many of the little clips did you "step" in the wrong direction on the joggling tool? Because I think I would have reached half a dozen or so, at least.

It's because of these last few episodes that I went out and bought a new set of wire cutters and ratchet crimpers, and they have made me hate wiring significantly less than originally.

29:35 "Oooh, yeah!" Really nice build lads, as always! But, looking at this and thinking how much is changed compare to original Mini, this is not going to be road legal, right?

You guys are bleeding mint 👌🏻

dove soap in commonly used in surface grinding aluminum

Love your videos- and the funk. How about putting a play list of the tracks you use.

I’ve just engaged smug mode while making the noise from Melbourne Australia loving your work lads 🍻

Brilliant, better than TV

its coming along nice . your fabrication work is great .

I haven't finished watching this episode yet, but Im hoping the lads built a centre console like a lamborghini Huracan centre console.

"....from 5 years ago"... *Opens first video of the playlist, looks at the publishing date. "Holy cow"

Great show and enjoy see all the search built parts! Keep up the good work!

This is an exceptional project ! Amazing engineering. Can you tell me what car the seats are from please. Ive tried whizzing back over the vids but clearly keep missing it. Are they Mg Cannot wait to see this finished ! Jon

Imagine that after leveling everything in the car it isn't perfectly flat 🤣😂

Yet even more weight added, it will win the heaviest mini ever produced competition, not the best way to build a "race car". Seats are too high, no head room for helmets etc.

This mini needs to be exhibited in the Tata Modern on completion!

Mug holder, Check. So assume there will be an electric kettle holder that pumps forward into the cups as well. We'll keep adding suggestions just to keep you going.

I think you could do a better job, keep practising and you’ll get there eventually.

You guys really are the bees knees. The sliced loaf. The dog...well, you get the idea. 😉😋

im sure i speak for all of us "WHERE IS THE JAFFA CAKE HOLDER GOING "?

I would have just bent the blinkers and windshield wipers levers forward a bit and called it a wrap ! 😉

Still waiting for episode 22.. 😍😍

oh another thing fiberglass might have been better than aluminum

i'm sure someone might of suggested but maybe not, have you thought about putting that plastic wire rap on the wires.

It is simply a work of metal art from one end to another. Because I am retired and have nothing else to do, I have just discovered your channel and binge watched all the episodes so far and had some laugh out loud moments along the way. What a treat to watch on many levels. Thank you.

Soooo, whats in the box?

I feel cheated having been glued to the screen for 21 episodes, now I can't find episode 22! Help anybody!

All work done by male, stale and pale men ! FANTASTIC , beat that girls ?
