- Project Binky: A Toyota Celica GT-Four engine, gearbox and running gear is being shoe-horned into a 1980 Mini 1000. In episode 4, the Mini finally gets an engine. All the running gear gets installed and there's a miracle prop-shaft situation.
It finally dawns on us that it just might be possible to get the 3SGTE engine in the car and the project might just work!
Please share far and wide. Thanks for watching!

holy shit at the prop shaft fitting with no mods, that is the most unbelievable bullshit ever
WINNING
roflex2 It seems to be want to be built...!
you did watch the part were he recreated every single mounting point accurately from the celica to the mini?
big daddio seen as though the prop was of a Lexus and not the Celica
wayne rorbach doesnt matter when the celica front and rear suspension is closer mounted togheter in the mini than the celica
You guys just answered the greatest question of them all: WILL A LEXUS IS200 PROPSHAFT FIT INTO A MINI COOPER WITH A DRIVETRAIN LAYOUT FROM A TOYOYTA CELICA GT-4? Yes... yes it will :D (amazing guys, just amazing)
We've gone to a hell of a lot of trouble to answer that most burning of questions. I hope you all appreciate that....
somewhere there is a toyota engineer crying for joy that someone finally discovered his secret design
@@ChristmasCrustacean1 as it turned out, no, it actually doesn't. what they didn't take into consideration was the lack of oil seal in the gearbox, before they went to weston park they had to cut and mod the driveshaft just to get it running
@@micrahq5954 I'm not the only one up rewatching this tonight then 😂
@@danwilliams6776 yes mate, you could say that. I'm actually up doing conversion wiring loom bits for K11 running gear going into a K10. Doing a lot of legwork for the future so if/when the customer straps a turbo to it it doesn't make her dead 😂
Had me worried at the start, thought a real friend had gone, luckily your grinders are alright.
I'm almost worried that the rusty celica parts are contagious, and will infect your new steel!
thundercamel Don't worry, we'll clean them.
@@BadObsessionMotorsportHaving watched Ep 29-31, you really weren't kidding...
Who knew it would take 6 years before they clean them. Lol
I can’t believe they didn’t blast them
@@ShaunHensley They did, just took a while.
I legit said Bugger just before he said bugger at 5:53
Am I British now?
I'm drinking tea too at the moment, can I join the land of Brexit and Biscuits please?
Your knowledge and skills are beyond impressive. And with the addition of entertainment.
+David Matt Thank you David.
Another true craftsman (or two) at work. Beautiful.
Only one craftsman. The other is just a hanger on...
All as I can say is WOW!!!! you guys have got more patients than a hospital.
We don't show you the huge amounts of wailing, swearing and gnashing of teeth. But believe me, it happens!
I can well imagine & don't forget the skinned knuckles & welding blobs down the shoes.
woo loved every episode so far, cant wait for more :D
So glad you're enjoying our escapades!
I think I started at about episode 28 so this is all backfill. I'm no stranger to working on cars and helping out with fab on stuff but I am absolutely in awe of your process and level of attention to detail, the rack jig is just one small example of a huge amount of knowledge on show here.
This guy has MADD skills... Talk about Building a Mini.... Awsome fabrication skills
Fantastic work. Loved the video.
+EricTheCarGuy Thanks Eric!
+EricTheCarGuy Yes quite amazing work..I don't think most appreciate the amount of time and skill involved in what is being done here.
+harry guy Indeed it is. I wanna be like these guys when I grow up.
I've always wondered if you followed this series. So happy to see that you enjoy it as well :)
🐦 🐦 🐦
I live in the United States. More COFFEE. I am sending my condolences on your loss.
hugely impresed with the work.
Thank you Nick.
You're most welcome. There are so many videos on TH-cam that seem to glory in doing things badly that one often wonders if there are any craftsmen left outside of the high-end factories of Maclaren et al. Great to see a small firm taking the time to make something beautifully.
Great work guys. I wish I only had your skills and facilities to create things for my own four.
We hope the finished article will do justice to the awesome GT-Four.
I am sure it will come out fine. I am curious about your bump steer solution. I had been in talks with one company on coming up with a solution for lowered 185s, but if they do not I will likely have to get something fabricated. I already have a tierod flip kit, now we are hoping for an extended ball joint. Bad Obsession Motorsport
This. Project. Rocks.
Just watched ep.14 after the long wait, and just had to start over and watch all earlier episodes again. Insanely cool, awesome to see all the details of the build, and frakking hilarious.
-I almost fell off my armchair (again) when the latest diss of imperial/colonial measure came... "If you're watching this in black and white" xD xD xD Well played, sir, well played.
For another diss, enjoy v=fhDtegMoyTQ
same here!
He is a good worker that lad. I am loving these series episodes. Mega shed engineering.
Inspiring, impressive, and entertaining. Can't ask for more. Really awesome stuff here.
l learned more about metal fabrication in the first 3 videos then i have since i started working on cars years ago. Making the brackets in seperate pieces is so easy.
18 dislikes for people that think they can do it better. Well....where's your Celica GT-Four Austin Mini? Hm? Thought so. This is very entertaining.
Not about the engineering, the awful so called comedy. Lousy humour gets the dislikes
@@ShanghaiGoat You are now in volume 6 of Nick's book of people who can fuck right off. Congrats!
@@ShanghaiGoat it's British humor, most people don't get it lol its roll your eyes humor .. i put up with it daily in work
The first episode of "Make the noise"
RIP Kettle 4.
BlueSuzy u wont be forgotten... for 10 minutes
This is the first episode with a funk montage. Fun fact.
you should take this about to Mini conventions when you're done just to blow people's minds. And make them very, very envious.
Robert Coffey We probably will.
This is the first episode with the “make the noise!” bit. Fun fact.
It's also the first episode where Richard "gets the funk out" 😁
Glad to here there is more "Make the Notice" coming!
Incredible stuff. I just can't stop watching you videos.
Tamrat Assefa Thank you!
This is a great series. Nick does some great fabricating. What does that other guy do?
Nik often wonders that....
After all the hard work you guys have put in, I hope the celica engine is good
If anyone was looking for the "Getting the funk out"-song starting at 14:56
It's Topher Mohr & Alex Elenn - Rubber Necking
I'm in love with this guys.
you guys are bloody amazing
Just wondering what cardboard you use to make your templates ?
I currently use corn flake or all bran , I don't think I'm professional enough to move up to shredded wheat yet ,
Any advice would be educational :-)
Thanks Darren ,
Shredded Wheat boxes are for hardcore fabrication only. Try moving up to Rice Krispies first...
Anyone else on their second watch through now?
i'm with you brother
Yes, while waiting for ep 22. I'm getting more out of it this time around too. I used to do this for a living, but these guys take it to a new level.
I don't want to think about how many time's I've re-watched this in the past 6 years. /
My brother's been pushing me to watch this for years, on my first way through now and it's the biggest mistake I made putting it off this long, I'm already in love😂😂
@@ralphbrook5140 you've been missing out!
lookin good guys
This is better than porn. And OMG that lexus prop shaft fits like it was designed to fit there.
I've been around custom car fabrication for many years, mostly drag racing with a bit of LeMons sprinkled in. I've seen quite a few wild and wacky builds and witnessed more than one surprising mechanical coincidence. Despite all that, when the Lexus drive shaft just dropped right in, I could not stop myself from exclaiming "No fucking way!" so loudly that my dog ran in the room like he expected me to be under attack by rabid wombats.
Some skills here amazing videos!!
How did I just now find this. Now I can't stop r.i.p data cap lol
"we needed some luck and that was it" - about the IS200 propshaft... That came back to bite them 7 years later apparently as it was like 10mm too long because of the oil seal on the gearbox
Roll on episode 5. Will we be mourning another kettle ? 😂
Are we looking for ideas once the bodywork on the celica is past its best?
Ian Inchley I may have to find another celica, mini and garage space first mate.
Hahaha! I have plenty of room in my workshop and will keep it safe and running for you!
In memoriam - Kettle No.4
Sound by Mike Standish and Lighting by Iva Lamp - brilliant!
"Fuck Trumpet" Love it. Quality "Swear-binding" there
I'm hooked on this series.. If only discovery turbo and all other car shows were this in depth with the fabrication, That's the best part 😄 great work and editing 👌
+R1rookie Thank you.
Nik- Old and Saggy... like the ideal woman. 😂😂😂
Are you both engineers? I have been teaching myself metalwork and fabrication for the past year or so, and the skill required to do some of these things is just insane, also seems to me that you somehow manage get by without huge hydraulic tools at your disposal. Very impressive
Jonny Brates Thanks Jonny. We both have an engineering background, yes.
Bad Obsession Motorsport Currently working on a BA in mechanical engineering, hope to do something like this one day/
Get welding! :-)
Now that you removed the power steering pump put in an electric counterpart in, thus removing any need for a pump.
Jacob Kearton It may come to that, yes.
Just found your channel and watched the first 4 episodes, great stuff, funny, entertaining and informative. 👍
Thanks Perry.
I’m both wildly impressed with your work, and gobstruck with the futility of the exercise all at once. There’s nothing left to the Mini, and it was utter trash to start with. What was the point of starting with the rusty car, as opposed to building a space frame, and fitting on new body panels to the outside of it?
Fantastic episode, looking forward to number 5
This is epic! Can't wait for the next episode! :P
yeeeaaah, it's back! :)
Amazing work so far. Couple of questions. How much room would have been saved using a more upright engine? Or does the angle actually help? And would there been any way of avoiding having to redo your work on the suspension stuff Or did you need to fit the engine first before being able to see where the drive shafts and rack etc would hit?
Amazing work being done in these videos. Thank you, keep it up.👍
+John Roberts (Johno) Thank you!
Amazing, you made my day.
Funny enough, when I realised there was a new video to watch, I made myself a brew!
Keep it up guys!
Geez it must be cold in there, fellas! You're blowing clouds everytime you talk!
Now then Nick, there's a very fine line between madness and genius. Wandering into the madness category doesn't necessarily leave behind the genius status. In short, you are smart enough to see clear whereabouts you reside re madness/genius.
Hope this helps?
Kevin Chamberlain He really doesn't. It's like being on the back of a raging bull, blindfolded whilst riding a rollercoaster. It's best just to hang on and hope to hell you come out the other side unscathed.
Bad Obsession Motorsport Yeah, I can see it! ;)
I half expected the tribute to be a grinder not a kettle.
Romans go home?? One of my favourite films "Life Of Brian"!! I've said it before and I'm sure I will say it again!! You Sir's are nuts!! Really enjoyed this episode, great to see it all coming together!! Cant wait to see how you overcome the space issues around the engine.
I'm going to the back of the class :(
I really do love this project, well done guys - can't wait for that next episode! :)
The origin episode of the Binky funk
I just love this series! This is the most impressive show of fabrications skills Ive ever seen. Cant wait to see the mini done!
Thank you sir!
make the noise...the same sentence that's in my mind when I watching 2014 F1....in waiting for the 5th episode. Great work!!
This is unbelievably awesome. Please please please keep them coming
Incredible job! I hope you finish soon so that you can share it with everyone. Congratulations from Spain
Muchas gracias!
Greetings from Canada :-) Great job guys !! it's so refreshing to see some hardcore fabrication going on. I'm so sick of all the regular crap on the telly. The whole theme is brilliant. I'm sure there are also countless hours of editing going on behind the scenes. I'm looking forward to seeing how you guys are going to solve the radiator and intercooler challenges that lay ahead :-)
Cheers,
Craig
Thanks Craig. There's a lot of time in the editing as you say. Glad someone noticed... :-)
How about helping out with a few tips on my mr2 duel engines project, so I mounted a front to motor to my already rear engine car and now I have 2 shifters, lol, 1 is auto & the others manual 5spd.
That's awesome
Google search the "Durocco" if you haven't already seen it. It's a dual-engine Scirocco that may give you some ideas.
I check my youtube subscriptions daily with a faint sigh of sadness when I see there is no latest episode. I know you shouldn't wish your life away but hurry up end of April. Great work guys .
Thanks David!
Absolutely brilliant work again guys, love the comedy too. Waiting for episode 5 now
Cheers Heath!
+1 :)
When do we see Abraham Lincoln?
Nic probable knocked up a 2 mil template for cutting his sandwich at lunch....which he probably cuts with the angle grinder.
This being my second trawl through all this rubbish I am impressed that you have got most of the serious fab done by episode four, sorry your hair went grey Nik, nah not really.
Re-watching the lot backwards because it makes more sense; has taken them 34 episodes to get all of the running gear in and I'm only 3 away from seeing the mini move under its own power.
Watched this episode 3 times now, just because i cant wait for the next episode.
Keep its up lads.
Cheers Adam. We're still working on episode 5.
Epic fabricating skills :-) Looks really great :-)
Looking forward to the Next episode ...
Love this series so much. Cant wait until the next episode!
Thank you sir!
Just watched all the episodes so far and I'm hooked. I may know fuck-all about the engineering/fabricating that goes into this but it's brilliant to watch. The only bad thing is now I've gotta wait for the next episode to be filmed/edited/released instead of diving right in. At least it gives me time for a cuppa :P
Thank you D3!
cant wait to see when its all finish! small in size, big on powerrrrrrrrr
How the fuck have I only just found these videos when they been up for some
Years fair play to you these are golden
Roll on episode 5. I feel there will be many more kettles mourned. 😂
That´s superb, amazing, awesome, outstanding and legendary! I keep waiting to project binky updates as old ladies waits for soap opera! cheers from brazil!
Obrigado Felipe!
Bad Obsession Motorsport Obrigado for the obrigado, You were featured in very well know website around here. I think a lot of brazilians are watching you guys
We're delighted that our overseas friends are enjoying the series. Thanks!
I've enjoyed all these episodes. Better than the rubbish motoring programmes they churn out. The late kettle No. 4 deserved a good sending off. It is one of the most important parts of the whole project. There's a lot of thought going into the build.
Kettle No.4 was a sad loss, but No.5 is doing quite well.
Damn you guys. Now I'm hooked.
This is one amazing project! Now I can't wait for episode 5.
Just watched 1-4 back to back.......need to see it finished now. Awesome job guys..u need to be on Discovery! Keep em coming.
Thanks Mark!
I like how Richard was too lazy to edit his voice-overs ; you can still hear his mouse clicks when he goes to shut it off
so funny humor - it´s just so enjoing to watch!
Great!
Stop buying cheep kettles then!!
Cool project loving the video's.
WOW, its coming along. I was really looking forward to this episode. Getting the mini to sit low enough will be another challenge, otherwise it will come out looking like a monster truck. Crack on lads and go easy with the English breakfast.
Have no fear, it won't be a monster truck. It will be a monster though.
You put Ed China to shame. And we all like abit of wheelers dealers, but your channel could possibly be on TV. I'd watch, even the repeats!
I had a dream to put a 3 ltr duroteck and running gear from a stype jag into a relient kitten.
But after watching this I've realized I'm a spastic with no engineering knowledge no equipment and not a chance in hel.
What ungodly amount of money do need to earn to pay you guys to biuld it for me?
What a vid what a car .nice one guys can't wait for next episode.
Thanks Steve. S-type Jag running gear in a Kitten? Think you might want to stop taking the pills mate... :-)
excellent stuff guys, wheres episode 5!! im waiting with baited breath
WOW guy's love'en Binky. Will you be getting the Celica bits cleaned/restored and have you though about the final colour yet.
Yep, all the running gear will get a damn good spruce up while the shell is away for paint. Final colour? Not sure yet.
I was made redundant not so long ago and I've noticed you seem to have a need for a full time tea maker. If you're interested I can send you my CV?... On a serious note, I'm loving the episodes so far and Nick is an engineering mastermind if he can get that engine, drive train and suspension to work well inside the standard length mini shell!
The tea maker position is of utmost importance. We can't just employ someone willy-nilly. A thorough recruitment process must be started... ;-)
highly anticipating episode 5 keep up the good/crazy work. If anyone is reading this and can point me to some more episodic mad car builds ive been searching and cant find anything close to this : (
Thanks Johnty. Try this: www.build-threads.com for some extra viewing.
Do you ever get radiation burn when not using a glove during welding. I can see the practicalities of it. A lot of effort gone into the build and the film production....good job.
+Kev Barry Our hands are now like 40 year old leather.
Looking forward to the next one now! I've seen an old Rover V8 in a mini - although it had to go in the back so I guess it doesn't really count lol
Who would had thought a propshaft from an AWD Lexus would drop right in...that was an incredible find.
douro20 We were massively lucky with that. It's almost like she wants to be built...
Guys, when is episode 5 being released?...I'm getting a twitchy eye waiting.
I Wont to see this puppy running.
We can't wait to get it running either. We're a way off that yet though. Episode 5 by the end of April.
Really Inspiring build.
Which year and model IS200 did you get the prop shaft from?
Not sure to be honest. It just dropped out of heaven and straight into the Mini. Like a gift...
I'm ashamed I'm only watching this now. Incredible metal work. Getting a right wee throbber watching it haha
