Project Binky - GT4 in a Mini

They'd want to up the pace a tad

mickdw · 02-08-2018 9:42am

Yep. Fair enough, it takes 15 hours to make a beautiful bracket etc but that's still only a few days work done since last video.

It is almost like they have full time jobs and families also and only get to work on it when they get free time

mickdw · 02-08-2018 2:08pm

That may be but they have viewers funding this now and further sponsors too so they might want to give it some more of their spare time.

Surely not, your making that up, that blonde bird was an actress playing a wife surely and those babies were just kidnapped for the opening credits once :pac::pac::pac::D:pac::pac::pac:

Perhaps it's the reason they're progressing slowly, finish the car and the funding finishes too.

It's a passion project that's really well put together and explained, they're right to go at their own pace imo

And if those people were not happy with the speed of progress, they would probably stop funding it.

Anybody here funding it as a matter of interest?

I've bought stuff from their store, that's about it.

FWIW, I'm hoping they keep it as slow as possible for more episodes.

I havent either buy the pace of it doesn't inspire me either, I do however feel a little guilty when I watch soup, always look forward to that one.

mickdw · 02-08-2018 9:14pm

Don't get me wrong, I love the work and the detail they go to to achieve stuff but I don't need it to be so slow moving.
Loved the auto wiper install.... half thinking of putting auto wipers into our old tractor just as a piss take.

Imagine if they took it out for a test drive when it's done and it got written off by a truck or something.........ðŸ˜£

saving this for Friday night so I can chill out and have a beer!

Safari doesn’t play YouTube in full screen anymore or let you cast to a device without using the YouTube app.

This project must be going on with 20 years ffs lol

kev1.3s · 01-11-2018 11:47pm

The last two updates have been pretty quick in fairness

Brilliant episode. Moved along at a faster pace too.

alo1587 · 01-11-2018 11:56pm

Last time i watched it was over a year ago, must catch up with earlier episodes

darragh o meara · 02-11-2018 10:13pm

Considering the effort they put into fabricating all manner of brackets etc. I was expecting them to go full spec on a motorsport style custom loom.

Having made wiring looks for cars over the years, their work on this seems a bit shady so far, no protection on any of the wiring runs etc. Hopefully in the next episode they'll bring on harness protection and the likes cos God knows the time you don't want a wire to chafe and Arc off a panel is the time it does and burns a car to the ground..

It'll be some machine when finished though, if they ever get it finished that is..

zetecescort · 02-11-2018 10:39pm

I'd imagine all the wiring will come out for painting and they'll put in grommets and wrap the loom then

Voodoomelon · 03-11-2018 12:41pm

Wiring porn, my favourite, great episode. Like above I was surprised no harnessing was done, again it might be later.

OldMrBrennan83 · 18-11-2018 9:03pm

New post on what looks to be all the machining of the alternator drive from the last episode.

As much as I appreciate a well designed and manufactured bit of machining, that episode was such a let down compared to the others.

That was just a sub episode with all the detail on the machining. Good way to do it so they didn't need to dedicate too much time to it o n main episode.

Guy:Incognito · 25-11-2018 6:06pm

Second part of the machining dropping at 8 tonight.

Class. Loved that surprise of the first part, was excellent.

The skills that both these lads have is unreal. That car will be bulletproof and an engineering marvel when they finish it. Would love to see an episode about the 2 lads background.

All the more shows for us.

Guy:Incognito · 30-12-2018 11:23am

New episode tonight for those on patreon. Tomorrow for the rest of us.

Guy:Incognito · 31-12-2018 10:12pm

Watching this at the minute. I ****ing love a nice centre console.

mickdw · 01-01-2019 2:22am

Lots of headway in this episode.

Guy:Incognito · 01-02-2019 8:32am

Episode 22 coming tonight at 8. Could be just for patreon, doesnt say. So could be an extra day or so for the rest of us.

OldMrBrennan83 · 01-02-2019 9:00pm

Just appeared on YouTube for all.

Hal1 · 01-02-2019 10:25pm

Wow, I wasn't expecting that

Guy:Incognito · 01-03-2019 9:03am

New episode alert. Out now on patreon. Tonight at 8 for the rest.

OldMrBrennan83 · 01-03-2019 9:07am

I'm liking these shorter, more frequent ones.

wotzgoingon · 07-03-2019 12:14am

Wow, only started watching this and your man Nik is pretty talented at fabricating. On episode 5 at the minute.

lawred2 · 07-03-2019 9:29am

Watching the first series - these guys are simply incredible. Real engineers. Never mind the car but the engineering that goes into their various jigs and rigs is mindblowing..

It took me a few episodes to get to grips with some of the gags but I'm glad to have found this thread.

lawred2 · 11-03-2019 9:46pm

Just finished episode 23.

Went to look for episode 24. No episode 24. What gives?

Then I see post date on episode 23. 1st March. There are no more. I'm up to date.

Hal1 · 11-03-2019 10:12pm

Coming to you next weekend on YouTube - a preview of the next two of projects. Cannot wait!

This dropped for patron supporters today. They have an MG SVR body shell alongside the 205 rally car in the opening sequence to be done next.
