While you're there air.new might as well put the drive around the proper side of the vehicle.😑 Tighten till bolt breaks then back off 1/4 turn. I would be willing to help you but I'm way too lazy for that.

Watching again,because....Richard. To be honest.

I have this queued up to 2:00, and I watch it anytime I need a guaranteed laugh. It still gets me every time.

I'll not have you talking about a straight six like that. On the naughty step with ya!

I'm just waiting for the brackets. They will be epic on this lump.

There's probably 200 dollars worth of copper in those cables and wires. I hope you didn't just bin them, and instead took them to a recycler or scrap yard, it may be worth your time if you still have them.

I love how nicely you work together. Obviously good chums.

23:55 "but it was such a big reason, I thought it deserved mentioning twice" - Grant and Naylor will be in for their royalties, lads. Enjoyed that.

And note the knowledge, in the use of left-handed threads on the N/S wheels... K.

I found myself coughing at 2:39, along with everyone else no doubt... K

Love the Mighy car mods reference 😀👍

The weight of engine and gearbox is almost exactly the same as the max take off weight of a fully loaded Cessna 152. Chonky.

3:02 again! Humour! Crack up!

2:10 you brits have a way with humour!

Are they working on binky only on Saturdays. One video per month... 😲😬🕳️ Don't loose any brackets, you will be here for years.. Put the engine in a boat...

Nice red dwarf quote at 24:00😄

"not as pointless as an X6" is my kind of opinion.

34:56 "Well it's not as pointless as an X6..." 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 My heroes.

Ur clearly red dwarf fans love it myself lol

G'day Guys, Wow that engine & Gearbox weighs almost as much as my Suzuki Hatch

Left hand threaded nuts on the passenger side wheel?

Cant beat watching two guys having a field day on some crusty nuts

Introduced in 1770 :D :D

The brake line at 5:00 is the most marvelous thing I have ever seen. Reminds me of a South Main Auto video where the customer had barely-functional brakes (no pads at all, just metal to metal), drove it to the shop, and asked them to fix the AC!! In MY world, when the car needs a laundry-list of repairs before it will move, the first item is the brakes. Every. Single. Time. For every start-of-motion, there WILL be a stop-of-motion. My life's goal is to always accomplish that stop without harming any humans.

Hemingway wrote about these radiators, made of solid lead and filled with the water from the Ganges river.

Old, Dirty and dusty, but he makes a good brew.

Odd question (yep, rewatching this series)... Since the cab can't be flipped open given the box design yet all those fancy hinges to allow it to be flipped open are in place - is that an opportunity for weight savings. By that I mean, remove them in favor of some weight optimized Bad Obsession heavy duty bracketry? Then again, thinking it over it might not be worth the time and hassle of trying to remove that stuff...

Has escargot been boiled? Is it an ex snail? Or are you just being a tease and finishing it secretly in your den?

'If you've got rubber brake hoses please check them regularly' -About every 34 years apparantly!

It looks as if your working on a submarine at times with the grot everywhere haha Awesome 👌 i.e Turbo Yoda the Wood factory! Spoiler... my bad 🤪 Keep it up fella's!

MCM 😄

Anyone else feel the craving to hunt with a vacuum after their every move?

I love the Red Dwarf quote in there. Gave me a chuckle

FREEDOM UNITS ! YAY !

The amount of excitement when the nut sticks inside the cap is priceless

Always a little passive aggressive when it comes to American weights and measures! What up with that?

110 HP, 750kg. I have a motorbike not much younger, with only a little less power, and that's 30-35kg for the engine I think.

I love the RED Dwarf Kryten sayings

when I first saw this months ago it never hit me but if they had done this here in the states it would have been replaced with a 5.9 liter cummins out of a dodge pick up . then they could have had a 500 Hp camper to run around in.

5:10 that's factree

These videos are reminding me why I love British humour. The first few minutes are gold

You guys should start a hash tag #crustynuts

you guys are awesome... you guys are awesome... you guys are awesome... you guys are awesome... four times because there are two of you...😉

You guys need a Milwaukee 3/4" drive impact wrench, they bust any bolt

I wonder how long he wanted to use the red dwarf " 2 reason" gag

Being british why did you need a yank?

Wow! The engine and gearbox weight as much as a small to medium complete car! My mind is blown! And that's just a 6 cylinder engine!

So... You have crusty nuts. Sounds like a personal problem. 😝

oi oi oi

haha freedom units .....eat shit tea boy

did i hear the word cunt used

I don't know whether to be happy or not that I guessed the weight to within 8kgs!

She really doesn't want to die. She's helping you guys all she can. What a beautiful piece of old but utterly lovable junk.

I was hoping for a lot more grinder and gas axe action.

"the crowning turd on the dungheap..." I think that one might be used again.

Are those PTC fittings for fuel lines?!?!

Thank-you Kryton for the "gas ax" explanation. ;-D The key to keeping it, It Ran and there's always an odd farm tractor that may need an engine.

Obviously you guy’s have real lives, and it’s fun watching you crank on some real iron. Especially after all the little pieces you made for binky. Look forward to watching both projects progress, from currently cold & wet Sacramento Valley....

Maybe it's just me but there seems like a whole lot more work happens and less tea is consumed when there's wrenching vs fabricating.

LMFAO "cheeter bars" on wheel nuts, that was an ak47 cheeter bar! and with how tight the wheel nuts was it was needed!! I remember driving thos cargos back in the 80's postcode between gear ratios is very accurate! as a driver and wannabee fitter its great watching you work, and its amazing how much crap comes apart to do some jobs!!

Re: Stuck \ corroded nuts an bolts, years ago I worked on some meat factory equipment and so couldn't use WD or +Gas but had to use something called FoodLube. It is v expensive but It's price is in relation to how good it is. WD ( lubricant 3/10) +Gas ( dismantling fluid - USA - PB Blas...6/10) and Ffoodlube ( dismantling fluid 9/10). It is expensive but it works.

you sure are worried about jinxing yourselves. what could go wrong?

Put that engine for sale on the "Modified Majors" Facebook page. It will end up in a Fordson Major tractor.

4:40 righty loosey? on wheel nuts

At the rate Binky is coming along, it's not likely the French snail will be done before the Mini needs restoration. I propose BO changes it's name to Project Creepers; for multiple reasons.

This thing would do better with an LS lol.

I was very close on the weight of the engine & trans, I guessed 1600 lbs.

So will you add a 2 stroke motorbike engine with the same amount of horse power? 😂

Someone kept up long term maintenance on that vehicle, else you'd be running into much worse rust AND you'd be cutting/torching every single nut off the undercarriage.

ooh, ooh, oooh! replacement motor suggestion... ex-mil surplus M1 Abrams powerpack!!!

27:54 yer had me with the "whipped up a hydraulic lifting platform"... wot! no video?? slackers - what ELSE you gotta do?

Coming up: We head to a decommissioned RAF airbase for our new engine replacement. (Merlin 1650 appears in frame)

".....now I need a piss" We all need a piss.....

I could watch these 2 blokes boil an egg

How's your neck?

I can hardly wait to know what alternative (more powerful?) engine is going in

you could replace the longitudinal frame rails with carbon fiber(?)

"first jack up your truck" im fucking rolling in laughter

When are gunna see Blinky on the road.

OK, I get not having a 'gas ax', but why not just sawzall the whole thing out and cut wires with nippers? Thats a lot of time spent salvaging trash??

I genuinely hope they replace the engine and transmission. A good old CAT engine or a Cummins would be cool to see. Potentially paired with an Allison automatic.

Ah! That brake line is terrifying!!! Also, be sure you don't spill any of that pneumatic brake fluid.

Aluminum rims would take a couple hundred off. Sorry. "Aluminium"

Such a shame she is pre 86 and therefore drum brakes eugh. The post 86 ones had discs all round and the drive was SO much better.

24:03 Nice Dwarf reference =]

An American rig😀

Should put a 10 cylinder diesel motor from a freight liner

This is why mechanics hate engineers

Anyone wanting to improve their sarcasm skills needs to take notes with this episode ... love it!

we call that @5:10 an aneurysm my friend, you know how much would it cost you to fix it in a human pipeline (arteries) :D

"Ear defenders" Lol

Conveniently named Dover as it should be at the coast being used as a boat anchor.

They can probably save another 100-200lbs by replacing the wheels with something more modern :p

like the red dwarf gag :-)

brute force and ignorance! I absolutely must remember to say that at some point

Every bit of that Truck was built HEAVY.

Making two shows out of half days work!😜😛😝

“First jack up your truck” Marty?

I don’t how you can deal in all that rust. I live in Southern California and work for Ryder Truck Rental’s we don’t see much of it here.

Drag link tip hit it from both sides at once with two hammers and out she pops. 1812 is good for synchronisation.
