I've only just come across this channel, it has to be the best thing that I've ever viewed on TH-cam. Engineering and fabrication of the very highest quality.
+Dan Haines The Quarterly Review changed Davy's aluminum to aluminium. Of course this is the magazine that attacked writers John Keats, Percy and Mary Shelley among other writers of the time. Percy claimed that they caused Keats death. I like the fact that Napoleon III gave utensils made of it to preferred guests while the rest had to settle for gold ones.
That lathe extension is perhaps the best thing I've ever seen. Not once while machining have I thought "This machine needs to be EVEN MORE DANGEROUS". And yet you did, and I applaud you for it
Aw yah, back home from major surgery, recuperating from removal of a cancerous kidney, and this gets posted. The day improved greatly! Many thanks you two!
BOM and TTG are the best content on the net. Both sides of the pond covered! All your work is fantastic and making gear heads around the world very happy. Many thanks from us all :-)
Thanks for all the great comments everyone. It's hard to reply to everyone, but we read them all. We're hard at work on the next installment but have no idea when it will be ready yet. We'll keep everyone informed through our Twitter and Facebook feeds, so join us there if you haven't already!
it's barely been one month... we would normally expect an episode sometime before Christmas, you've got loads of time until then... :') any progress made since last month?
just knowing you guys aren't dead with occasional comment replies is nice. We all know this is insanely hard to engineer and you need breakthroughs to progress sometimes.
I'm so getting fired. Dropped everything to watch, and my customers are bursting into flames. They can burn. I'm watching Binky! I also intentionally stopped uploading videos until you guys released 2 videos. I did this so that to people blaming you for being slow uploaders you can reply with, "We're not as slow as Jafromobile". I'm also a sucker for an enormous box.
discovered this completely by accident and by god i'm addicted!! i've watched all 13 instalments in 2 days! superb work, your planning and fabrication is out of this world!
"In 1808, Humphry Davy identified the existence of a metal base, which he at first termed alumium and later aluminum." It has always been aluminum. The word got bastardized by the British scientific societies in 1812 to sound "more modern"; as they saw their imperialistic conquests beginning to falter (already having lost more than one war against their former colonies) and wanted to take a new approach (science) to set themselves apart as "better" than everyone else at the time...
So... I was just turned onto this series this week. I binged watched episodes 1-10 last night, and today just got to here. You can imagine my shock when I couldn't find Episode 14. This has been absolutely wonderful so far. Makes my project look like a walk in the park. Well done!
This is by far the best car build i have ever seen! The fabrication of parts, the editing, the comments, its all awesome! I found your channel yesterday and I have now watched all 13 episodes in a row (don't tell anyone that). Epic stuff! THANKS! Keep up the amazing work!
Thanks for the heads up. Not suprised tho, the editing makes it look fast and easy, but it clearly is not. Just bought a "make the noise" shirt, so ill just put it on, sit down and wait ;)
Cups of tea and correctly pronounced names of metals. Hard to make an Englishman happier. Unless there was a queue somewhere that I missed. Excellent work fellas.
That turned out super nice. Props to you guys for doing stuff w/ such precision. I esp like the results of the homemade die and bead rolls. This is probably the most well built, engineered mini every made. Probably more so than the way Austin sent it from the factory.
I've only just discovered this build and it's an absolute bingefest! Half the time I haven't a clue what's going on but that can't stop me enjoying this utter masterclass in fabrication, installation and the first class humour! Cheers guys
Great work guys, when you were struggling to get a large enough tank and get the wheels to almost fit under the arches I was almost expecting you to do an Irish version of a Mini Sprint by cutting the entire shell down the middle and adding 4 inches to it ;-)
I am absolutely blown away by the excellent fabrication and attention to detail. I can't wait for the next episode! Keep up the great work and entertaining videos.
Its unbelievable how right everything about this series is. Trying not to fangirl, but the fab work, film work, comedy, and pacing are all damn near perfect. Its a thing of beauty really. Does anyone know of other similar channels/series with similar fabrication porn? I need more in my life.
Yes, forgot to mention Clickspring. He doesn't do car stuff or add in a lot of humor but he is really passionate about what he does and is extremely good at doing it.
Damn guys! 300k views and counting! Not bad, especially when you originally intended the channel just for family, friends and the local tea-pusher... Well done!
Getting to the end of a binge watch here. This project is really the culmination of every single car guy solution all wrapped into one single build. I've been maybe 80% of the way through a 944 ls1 swap and this is starting to trigger my project PTSD. Particularly noted was the solution to bump steer and the fabrication of a heim joint thread converter sleeve. I had to beg my way through forums for something like that! Keep up the excellent work gents.
I think you guys Should Host Top gear your wayy better than what the BBC can find and most of all Love the Car and the Banter OMG you two remind me of my dad and uncle..
I should think they would do a damn sight better than what they came up with. Whoever came up with the idea to have an American sit com actor to be a presenter on a BBC television show should have his dangling participles clapped between a couple of bricks. This is coming from an American too. We have American Top Gear, and it sucks.
These episodes should be shown to all schools of automotive technologies. In the times of crap and cheating these videos are a perfect examples of work done with proud and precision. Unseen in today's body shops. Cut corners work become a standard in all trades simultaneously with inflated prices. This kind of work is pleasure to watch. Fantastic work like in a machine shop. The only drawback must be a price, I guess.
Started doing my own custom work, but without the tools or skills you lot have. Procrastinating after hitting a few walls and re-watched every episode. This time round I really noticed how much you guys take things on and off, then have to rework bits. Thanks for leaving it all in, helps me not feel so bad having to go through the same stuff with my contraption. Keep up the great work, humour, and video editing. Thanks guys.
I don't know how you guys stand it. Over 2 years now. I haven't been following you but about a year or so and it is driving me bonkers to see this thing get on the road and tear it up a bit. You two have the patience of Job or something.
Got put onto this by a mate a few weeks ago and (as a trucker getting distracted by Escargo first) I'm now playing catchup. Great work gents! PS Love the Them Crooked Vultures credits :)
The tank looks spectacular as are all the fabricated things including tools. I hope the next episode doesn't take as long to appear. This car will be a blast to drive when finished.
This has to be the best build ever recorded between the humor, quality fabrication and the extreme amount of forward thinking put it. You should have a television show because you put all of the current car build shows to shame! I would definitely like to see some videos on your custom tools maybe it could be a show by itself you seem to have quite a few. Thanks for sharing and good luck with the rest of the build!
I came here to tell you my tshirt and mug arrived! I love your series and can't wait for more! Thanks again! P.S. I hail from Massachusetts and daily drive a 2015 Fiesta ST that's currently making 265lb at the wheels! I think Binky would approve.
Bad Obsession Motorsport Are you guys planning to make a new Unplugged episode? I'd like you to maybe go through the details from the technical drawings and everything else involved in creating the CAD templates you're using, surely it is not as simple as you make it appear in the videos... This project never ceases to amaze me, episode after episode.
I've been away in the sun for the last 10 day - returning to find a new episode makes me much happier to be back in the UK - Another great episode gentlemen!
I'm at a loss for words for how absolutely brilliant this series is, makes me feel bad about my lack of fabrication and mechanical knowledge. You guys sate the perfectionist need I have so well.
The worst part of seing that you posted a new video is knowing that the countdown to the nex video has been reset and that it ll be another 2 months or so till your project contimues... in the meantime, keep up the good work! It's allways a pleasure to see how the project is coming together.
Wow I've only touched a welder as a 14 year old and the next year of school my mum made me drop metal work as a subject. Since then I've watched Project Binky with amazement. It's inspiring. I will never tackle such an insane project but the amount of skill involved and approach to solving problems as well as your guys expertise is insane. :)
yes, that's the whole purpose of it. Flat sheets of steel, aluminium or even fibreglass aren't as strong as curved ones, so if you have indentation going across the flat section it does make it stronger, thus preventing the volume of fuel from bulging the walls of the tank outwards.
So bloody good to see you back. This is one of the best and most entertaining sites on the web. I reckon the BBC should give you two a gig. Please keep them coming.
I'm not understanding the bit about the wheels. Did the offset change? It seems to me that the inside edge is further under the arch because of the added width, but the outside edge is sticking out just as far as it did before. What am I missing? (besides the proper amount of brain cells, obviously)
By the way, Velocity Labs, I have one of your "chill before serving" T-shirts, and really like your decision to make it glow in the dark. It's very distinctive & appropriate on track nights. Still waiting for Bad Obsession to offer one that reads "make the noise", though.

3 months later my refresh button is broken, my thumb is very sore and I think I lost my job, not sure... *Refresh* *Refresh* It's due any day now... *Refresh*
So ... could you not fit a full sized spare if you added a U shaped pocket into the bottom of the boot floor? Edit, oh and on the wheel lathe. If you bolt down a grinder the right height, then grab the wheel and turn it into it (on a table) you get a bloody perfect cut.
put tire in front end like the pros in Timbuktu. It's A great bumper! Or place in a cool fashion mount in front of side mirror. Or put tire on back like a wing or on back like jeeps. Put in back seat,, Jesus need I go over all the awesome choices.
Behind the Tank under the bottom of the floor is the rear axle & diff and the exhaust. And Nick wants a space for some luggage. You really didnt need a spare wheel in a Mini.
Honestly, it would make sense to me to mount the spare wheel on the back seats, doubt there's space for anyone except Rich's twins to sit... that's just MHO though...
+B. Shoemaker Not really. You've got a complete fuel tank, a parcel shelf, C post stiffeners, fire wall, seat belt anchors, scuttle panel, wiper mech, banded wheels, new tyres, a week at Goodwood, a life, 2 full time jobs, a shed load of editing, twin baby girls and a 30 minute video that's free to watch...
The wait does suck but I am just glad they decided to take the extra time to make these video's and share. I am sure they would get very little money from doing so!
I just finished binge watching all 13 episodes... Can't wait for #14 and also wanted to let you know that I found you through an article on jalopnik.com thegarage.jalopnik.com/these-mad-geniuses-are-doing-a-car-build-show-you-will-1788775133
Same. What I'm most impressed with, aside from the perfect command of Blackadder and Python references, is the sense of continuity in the editing. If you hadn't told me I wouldn't have guess the span of time the series goes.
Same here. Just finished binge watching myself. I am absolutely spell-bound by the amount of work going into this car. I'm also learning a lot and getting inspired to get back to working on my own car project.

... but instead, we're gonna use aluminium, cuz that's what it's called. MY MAN
Rims are wrong size? No problem, we'll just make a new ones. Got to love those guys.
Actually it was "they stick out too far, ok we just make them wider..."
Jesus I've never been so happy to see a notification
me to
agreed i was worried they had forgotten us
+jeZZa7810 I had forgotten about the build for a while
and me
Expect one every 3 months, I was looking at my notifications yesterday to see if there's anything new but there wasn't. BUT NOW IT'S BACK!
I've only just come across this channel, it has to be the best thing that I've ever viewed on TH-cam.
Engineering and fabrication of the very highest quality.
Haha! The shock I had when I heard "Aluminum", followed by the obvious correction - brilliant!
lol I was shocked too I had to look up the proper pronunciation
+Dan Haines The Quarterly Review changed Davy's aluminum to aluminium. Of course this is the magazine that attacked writers John Keats, Percy and Mary Shelley among other writers of the time. Percy claimed that they caused Keats death. I like the fact that Napoleon III gave utensils made of it to preferred guests while the rest had to settle for gold ones.
+TheJimmax spell aluminum. now say that exact word without adding any letters. say it....sayyyyy it.....
definitely was a "WTF" moment followed by a "PMSL" when he corrected
If you have the correct pronunciation you can (and should) sing it to the tune of the hallelujah chorus.
That lathe extension is perhaps the best thing I've ever seen.
Not once while machining have I thought "This machine needs to be EVEN MORE DANGEROUS".
And yet you did, and I applaud you for it
Aw yah, back home from major surgery, recuperating from removal of a cancerous kidney, and this gets posted. The day improved greatly! Many thanks you two!
Well they do say that laughter is the best medicine. I'm assuming that's only if you don't blow a stitch. :-O watch with caution and get well soon!
Get well soon mate.
get well soon bud
get well soon sir , get a binky yourself .
Get well soon matey :-)
Dear Santa,
All I want for Christmas is another episode of Project Binky.
Thank you!
Well should get another 2 by then haha
atleast one if their track record of once every 3 ish months is to go by
Mhmmmm.
And after half an hour of spectacular fabrication, the wait begins yet again.
Thank you for the master class in fabrication and problem solving once again gentlemen!
BOM and TTG are the best content on the net.
Both sides of the pond covered! All your work is fantastic and making gear heads around the world very happy. Many thanks from us all :-)
and an English lesson! Love your work by the way Tom. :)
Tom's Turbo Garage :-)
Thanks Tom! Hope everything is good State side.
Them Crooked Vultures in the end credits, plus The Jimi Hendrix Experience in the other episode.
I just love these details
Thanks for all the great comments everyone. It's hard to reply to everyone, but we read them all. We're hard at work on the next installment but have no idea when it will be ready yet. We'll keep everyone informed through our Twitter and Facebook feeds, so join us there if you haven't already!

I need to win the lotto and help fund you along. I am sure this takes a fair amount of $
uh, how would diabetes affect how someone acts?
this last comment was a month ago, any update on the new video release date?
I'm so getting fired. Dropped everything to watch, and my customers are bursting into flames. They can burn. I'm watching Binky!
I also intentionally stopped uploading videos until you guys released 2 videos. I did this so that to people blaming you for being slow uploaders you can reply with, "We're not as slow as Jafromobile".
I'm also a sucker for an enormous box.
Where have you been jafro????
We miss you Jafro!
Hey I was wondering what happenned to you !! I loved your videos until you went AWOL
Awesome, Jafro's not dead!!
lol was reading this as binky is the one. then see its you jafromobile would like to say hello and now can you please update me/us.
discovered this completely by accident and by god i'm addicted!! i've watched all 13 instalments in 2 days! superb work, your planning and fabrication is out of this world!
+Kevin Burns Thank you sir. Hope you enjoy the next installment coming out on Friday.
+Bad Obsession Motorsport can't wait!
Lol, little did u know about 4 years to come until ep 36 and binky lives (maybe)
I love these guys, they've got the perfect mix of comedy and actually information
Loved the aluminium joke!
Same. Good British humour.
Yes it was sensational!
Septic tank ?
We won our independence from your sub par spelling as well.
"In 1808, Humphry Davy identified the existence of a metal base, which he at first termed alumium and later aluminum."

prepare yourself to surfer for the next 4-5 months, as it usually takes that long for a new episode to come
Thanks for the heads up. Not suprised tho, the editing makes it look fast and easy, but it clearly is not. Just bought a "make the noise" shirt, so ill just put it on, sit down and wait ;)

I agree, this project is starting to be a piece of high art, everything is their own design and the solutions are thought-through very well!
This project should be named, Reinventing the Wheel
Just stumbled on this series and watched all available episodes....
1. You guys are mad.
2. Love it!
That made my day. It always does. Guess we will see you in 3 months or so. Keep it up.
The feel when you know new episode of Binky is out and you haven't watched it yet :)
I've only just discovered this build and it's an absolute bingefest!
Half the time I haven't a clue what's going on but that can't stop me enjoying this utter masterclass in fabrication, installation and the first class humour!
Cheers guys
i have been watching my watch waiting for this!! Cupa tea and I'm ready!
I thoroughly appreciate the proper understanding and application of Schrödinger's cat.
Another episode filled with perfection, humor, cars and absolute greatness. Thanks! :)
This series is the only one where I jump straight to TH-cam when I get the notification.
Another cracking episode.
Great work guys, when you were struggling to get a large enough tank and get the wheels to almost fit under the arches I was almost expecting you to do an Irish version of a Mini Sprint by cutting the entire shell down the middle and adding 4 inches to it ;-)
I am absolutely blown away by the excellent fabrication and attention to detail. I can't wait for the next episode! Keep up the great work and entertaining videos.
Thanks Glen.
Its unbelievable how right everything about this series is. Trying not to fangirl, but the fab work, film work, comedy, and pacing are all damn near perfect. Its a thing of beauty really.
Does anyone know of other similar channels/series with similar fabrication porn? I need more in my life.
Nothing compares to this channel. Sadly.
Aaron Cake has an RX-5 Cosmo that he's been working on. Slightly dirtier humor but he has similar fabrication work. He does it a lot quicker though.
I'll take Nik's fabrication over Aaron's any day. Also, I'm good with dirty humour, but Aaron crosses the line into creepy territory sometimes.
Yes, forgot to mention Clickspring. He doesn't do car stuff or add in a lot of humor but he is really passionate about what he does and is extremely good at doing it.
Turbo Tom garage and his car projects are fabulous. Specifically his V8 Mx-5.
hands down the best fabrication series on the net..
2 very skilled fitters, no corners cut just top quality workmanship all the way.
well done fellas!
Damn guys! 300k views and counting! Not bad, especially when you originally intended the channel just for family, friends and the local tea-pusher...
Well done!
+Paul van Lieshout Thank you Paul!
Getting to the end of a binge watch here. This project is really the culmination of every single car guy solution all wrapped into one single build. I've been maybe 80% of the way through a 944 ls1 swap and this is starting to trigger my project PTSD. Particularly noted was the solution to bump steer and the fabrication of a heim joint thread converter sleeve. I had to beg my way through forums for something like that! Keep up the excellent work gents.
+James Congdon Thanks for watching James.
One of the most interesting things on the Tube.....superb fabricators indeed.!
This series is nothing but pure metal artwork, absolutely brilliant these guys I love it
I think you guys Should Host Top gear your wayy better than what the BBC can find and most of all Love the Car and the Banter OMG you two remind me of my dad and uncle..
I should think they would do a damn sight better than what they came up with. Whoever came up with the idea to have an American sit com actor to be a presenter on a BBC television show should have his dangling participles clapped between a couple of bricks. This is coming from an American too. We have American Top Gear, and it sucks.
These episodes should be shown to all schools of automotive technologies. In the times of crap and cheating these videos are a perfect examples of work done with proud and precision. Unseen in today's body shops. Cut corners work become a standard in all trades simultaneously with inflated prices. This kind of work is pleasure to watch. Fantastic work like in a machine shop. The only drawback must be a price, I guess.
We are waiting for new episode of the project :D so excited
+Kire Biljaroski We are working on it.
Stop drinking Tea and go back to work... :P Joking
I hope you release it this November ^-^
Started doing my own custom work, but without the tools or skills you lot have. Procrastinating after hitting a few walls and re-watched every episode. This time round I really noticed how much you guys take things on and off, then have to rework bits. Thanks for leaving it all in, helps me not feel so bad having to go through the same stuff with my contraption.
Keep up the great work, humour, and video editing. Thanks guys.
Thanks Andy. Good luck!
now to wait around 3 months for some wheel arches
I wish these episodes was more frequent, it's great how these videos are presented and how the project is developed
I just finished episode 13 now I'm going to .......watch it again.
I don't know how you guys stand it. Over 2 years now. I haven't been following you but about a year or so and it is driving me bonkers to see this thing get on the road and tear it up a bit. You two have the patience of Job or something.
Now to wait another year or so for the next one.
Got put onto this by a mate a few weeks ago and (as a trucker getting distracted by Escargo first) I'm now playing catchup. Great work gents!
PS Love the Them Crooked Vultures credits :)
Put the fuel tank on the passenger seat, buckle the seat belt around it..
Job done
Love that you guys bead rolled the tiny filler plates on the parcel shelf. Not a detail missed.
+Nick Hiniker The crazy thing is, like almost everything we've done so far, you won't see it when it's finished.
Switched off after 5 minutes, cardboard will *never* hold fuel.
JK
Great video as always.
This is such incredible, beautiful work. I am not a fabricator or engineer, but the precision and detail of this is so awe inspring.
Thank you.
Great Episode as always! Now to wrestle with the "post-new-binky-episode-depression" ;)
The tank looks spectacular as are all the fabricated things including tools. I hope the next episode doesn't take as long to appear. This car will be a blast to drive when finished.
Aluminium said right, instant like.
This has to be the best build ever recorded between the humor, quality fabrication and the extreme amount of forward thinking put it. You should have a television show because you put all of the current car build shows to shame! I would definitely like to see some videos on your custom tools maybe it could be a show by itself you seem to have quite a few. Thanks for sharing and good luck with the rest of the build!
It actually causes me physical illness having to wait 3 moths or more for a new episode of this.
That fuel tank deserves to be in a museum. Amazing work!
Thank you for this series gentlemen, truly excellent. Do you think we may receive another episode before Christmas?
Episode 14, Nov 25th, 8.00pm GMT.
Got it. Marked on my work and personal calendars. Not that you should feel deadline pressures or anything.
More amazing engineering, guys. that fuel tank is a work of art!
Episode 14 coming on Friday 25th November at 8.00pm GMT!
Bad Obsession Motorsport Woohooo, thats better than christmas!
I came here to tell you my tshirt and mug arrived! I love your series and can't wait for more!
Thanks again!
P.S. I hail from Massachusetts and daily drive a 2015 Fiesta ST that's currently making 265lb at the wheels! I think Binky would approve.
Now I have something to look forward to on black Friday other than fighting shopping crowds at the retailers. :)
Bad Obsession Motorsport Are you guys planning to make a new Unplugged episode? I'd like you to maybe go through the details from the technical drawings and everything else involved in creating the CAD templates you're using, surely it is not as simple as you make it appear in the videos... This project never ceases to amaze me, episode after episode.
This friday the grand tour, next friday project binky! GOOD NEWS EVERYONE! TEA FOR EVERYBODY! :D
The attention to detail is beyond belief. Well worth the wait.
Found this link yesterday, watched all episodes in almost 1 go, a b s o l u t e l y brilliant.
I've been away in the sun for the last 10 day - returning to find a new episode makes me much happier to be back in the UK - Another great episode gentlemen!
10:00 I burst out laughing at work when I heard the grinder fire up for the haircut. People looked at me funny. I just kept laughing :D
I believe that was a circular saw.
At WORK !!! Where do you work and are there any vacancies ?
Finally watching this series. Funny who I find here!
@@izzyplusplusplus1004 you arent familiar to the series are you :P
@@oliviervandenbroek4287 Sir, I suppose you've never heard of dry humor.
I love the humor, the professional work and of corse the thee times. :-)
congrats on the 100000 subscribers :D you guys rock!
+Jonas Ö Thank you.
I'm at a loss for words for how absolutely brilliant this series is, makes me feel bad about my lack of fabrication and mechanical knowledge. You guys sate the perfectionist need I have so well.
I've just discovered this channel.......6 years of watching youtube wasted until today.
Hope engine and trasmission fitting in a huge fantastic episode
Waiting... they never said when episode 14 will be up.
Any chance of another Q&A Session if you have the time?
Last few days i revisited all the older Binkyclips.
And today, oh the joy.
Whoooo hoo!!!
oh how i like watching videos where dimensions are in proper measurements, none of that crap inches
hey without iinches there would be no metric
@@seanfleming6680 yes perhaps, but metric is so much superior to imperial, the whole world switched over to it except USA
The worst part of seing that you posted a new video is knowing that the countdown to the nex video has been reset and that it ll be another 2 months or so till your project contimues...
in the meantime, keep up the good work! It's allways a pleasure to see how the project is coming together.
Do I watch this now or save it for later...decisions.
Watch it bro
I'm saving it for tomorrow evening.
No time today.
But so happy that there is a new episode!
Really?
Ill save for later, rewatch a few episodes to get back in the feel of it :D
NOW
Wow I've only touched a welder as a 14 year old and the next year of school my mum made me drop metal work as a subject. Since then I've watched Project Binky with amazement. It's inspiring. I will never tackle such an insane project but the amount of skill involved and approach to solving problems as well as your guys expertise is insane. :)
This is probably a stupid question but why did you need to create those long indentations across the fuel tank? Does it make the design stronger?
yes, that's the whole purpose of it. Flat sheets of steel, aluminium or even fibreglass aren't as strong as curved ones, so if you have indentation going across the flat section it does make it stronger, thus preventing the volume of fuel from bulging the walls of the tank outwards.
Rolling a bead into the ally sheet gives it a measure of rigidity.
Thanks guys.
Yes, bending metal always makes it stronger and less prone to flex.
yea it makes the sides less likely to bulge out, same reason the floor of a car isnt perfectly flat.
So bloody good to see you back. This is one of the best and most entertaining sites on the web. I reckon the BBC should give you two a gig. Please keep them coming.
YEEEEEEES....A L U M I N I U M
I was so glad to hear you clarify that fact!
Re-watching the series willing episode 38 to come out. Its still just as good.
"But instead, we're gonna use...." hahahahahahha
Hands down the best automotive series on TH-cam. Bloody hell!
"We're going to use aluminium because thats what its called"
Nearly pissed myself!!! thanks guys
Funny that coming back to this 8 years later and Kayne has been canceled. lol Such good watching. Thanks boys.
I'm not understanding the bit about the wheels. Did the offset change? It seems to me that the inside edge is further under the arch because of the added width, but the outside edge is sticking out just as far as it did before. What am I missing? (besides the proper amount of brain cells, obviously)
+Velocity Labs The outside edge of the wheel is in exactly the same place, but the tyre no longer bulges out past it even further. Saves us 25mm.
Thanks!!
By the way, Velocity Labs, I have one of your "chill before serving" T-shirts, and really like your decision to make it glow in the dark. It's very distinctive & appropriate on track nights. Still waiting for Bad Obsession to offer one that reads "make the noise", though.

Update: 'Just discovered that they already offer a "make the noise" shirt! How did I miss it?
Nothing makes me happier than new Binky episode. Thanks!
3 months later my refresh button is broken, my thumb is very sore and I think I lost my job, not sure...

That's an incredibly clever way of mounting the fuel tank. I love the series, guys. It's awesome
So ... could you not fit a full sized spare if you added a U shaped pocket into the bottom of the boot floor?
Edit, oh and on the wheel lathe. If you bolt down a grinder the right height, then grab the wheel and turn it into it (on a table) you get a bloody perfect cut.
put tire in front end like the pros in Timbuktu. It's A great bumper! Or place in a cool fashion mount in front of side mirror. Or put tire on back like a wing or on back like jeeps. Put in back seat,, Jesus need I go over all the awesome choices.
@Big-Adam Funny you should mention the grinder, that's the way I've been doing it, but not on wheels. :-)
Behind the Tank under the bottom of the floor is the rear axle & diff and the exhaust. And Nick wants a space for some luggage. You really didnt need a spare wheel in a Mini.
+hugelawn Go safari style and put it on the roof behind a row of spotlights...
Honestly, it would make sense to me to mount the spare wheel on the back seats, doubt there's space for anyone except Rich's twins to sit... that's just MHO though...
Thanks for the signed mug at good wood! I now realize what you showed me, it makes sense!
Love the joke about Aluminium (yanks take note!).
What do you guys know, you put a U in color...
because thats how its pronounced.
and in neighbours and plenty of other words too. Got to love proper English! ;-)
+Niek Hoogendoorn "Proper" being the key word.
+4theloveofDub It was put in in the *14th century*, it was the Yanks who took it out
It's really coming together, that tank is a work of art! Well done guys as usual. Terrific job :P
over three months, and we get a gas tank? come on guys
Being this skilled I am sure that they are very busy in their every day jobs!
+B. Shoemaker Not really. You've got a complete fuel tank, a parcel shelf, C post stiffeners, fire wall, seat belt anchors, scuttle panel, wiper mech, banded wheels, new tyres, a week at Goodwood, a life, 2 full time jobs, a shed load of editing, twin baby girls and a 30 minute video that's free to watch...
Ok, but binky must be sad. so unloved. Besides you guys make the best vids! The wait sucks. I so want to see it run.
And very entertaining to boot!
The wait does suck but I am just glad they decided to take the extra time to make these video's and share. I am sure they would get very little money from doing so!
Love this series showing how these guys overcome the myriad of challenges this project throws up.
I just finished binge watching all 13 episodes... Can't wait for #14 and also wanted to let you know that I found you through an article on jalopnik.com thegarage.jalopnik.com/these-mad-geniuses-are-doing-a-car-build-show-you-will-1788775133
+Joseph Cota Thanks for watching!
Same. What I'm most impressed with, aside from the perfect command of Blackadder and Python references, is the sense of continuity in the editing. If you hadn't told me I wouldn't have guess the span of time the series goes.
Same here. Just finished binge watching myself. I am absolutely spell-bound by the amount of work going into this car. I'm also learning a lot and getting inspired to get back to working on my own car project.
that was the faster 30 minutes ever, you guys are to good, I can't wait for see that car finish.
What a perfect way to start my vacation!! Now I have 13 episodes to see one more time before episode 14 is delivered :-)
Watched all in a row, sometimes laughing others in awe others in envy, GREAT. Thank you very much for the entertainment.
