I remember being but a young boy when my grandfather used to tell me tales of Project Binky. I was so sad to lose him in the war but now I'm old enough to tell my own grandchildren about it!
What an incredible journey this has been! After all these years, I’m still in awe of the attention to detail, effort and engineering that has gone into Binky. Simply amazing!
They're just building suspense. However, there's a small technical challenge to overcome, Nick may have to get a lightning rod up (it'll be raised by a 12v battery, natch)
You can use the comment section to document major life events like college graduation, brilliant career, loving partner, wonderful children and grandchildren. I look forward to the updates as we wait.
haha oh my gawd happy birthday even tho its a tad late but just reading this makes me laugh and relise how long this series has acctually been going on for
This Series or rather the first couple of episodes was one of the reasons for me to get into automotive engineering. Now I’m done studying and work for a big car company for almost a year now. It’s amazing how time flies and even more amazing we finally got another episode.
I hope you are not following their example at your place of work, the fun bit's and the tea breaks ok, but the attention to detail would break any manufacturer.
@@BadObsessionMotorsport Just kidding, guys. I felt at home instantly. That cozy feeling ... almost like you hadn't been away for 247 years. My Patreon money has been well spent!
At the start of this project I had just started a pre-med PhD, I have since finished my PhD, completed medical school and basic physician training. About to start specialist training. Should be a consultant gastroenterologist in time for the next two episodes.
My 9 year old son watched the entire episode with me, and when it was over he asked, "Can we watch the next one?" His eyes got wide when I explained that I've been watching you guys build this car for almost as long as he's been alive. Regardless of the timetable, keep doing what you're doing, guys, I think you've got another fan waiting for Episode 39.
Some people call their kids after the city they were conceived in and some people name them after the month they were born.... I hope you named him after the thing that gave you the horn all those years ago. 'Bracket, your dinners ready!'
I remember when I first found you guys, back in, I dunno, episode 6 or 7. And thinking "Wow, they've been at this almost 2 years, it must suck to be one of their original viewers having to hold their suspense this long, and here I come along as a freeloader when it's almost done." That was 7+ years ago. :D I've started my own car project, 4 years ago for a "summer project" that's maybe 1/3 done, with 3% of the challenge yours has. Watching you guys has led me to respect the power of feature creep, and to help me say "No, get it driving first" a thousand times, because I have the same urges as you guys do. Instead, I live vicariously through all your "it would be great if..." that you actually get to do, while I preserve my sanity by denying them to myself. As you guys roll towards the bittersweet finish line here, I'm grateful that people like you exist in the world. 20 years ago this would never have been possible, and if it was, no one would have had a chance to see it happen. Thanks for going the extra mile to document this, (at the expense of taking 3x as long I'm sure), for all of us strangers.
Amazing. Just speechless. When i watched you make the parts for this Mini years ago, I was convinced everything looks just like an OEM would've made it. But the parts you're making now, years later, somehow look even more professional and OEM. I'm also especially impressed by how you manage to make the video player say the video is 33 minutes long when I'm convinced that was only 5 minutes.
True. Story:I had a bad head injury. Amnesia is a bad deal. My new life began 2weeks before the channel opened. Although I don’t recall all of my teenaged years learning about car mechanic. My memories of car stuff begins with you. And persists with all the TH-camrs who have piped up to say, “ This is the best there is-anywhere!
Project Binky has taught me that almost anything is possible! All you need is ingenuity, tea, brackets, more tea, funk and at least 379 years. Nice one lads!
On the 12th of September 2024 at 05:30 BST the TH-cam algorithm presented a mini build, I'm British so I couldn't resist. I kept looking at the time line, ten years ago, I didn't watch TH-cam then, however I've watched 100's of car rebuilds and 1000's of car episodes from around the world. At 16:42 on 13th of September I've left my one comment. I can't add to the amazing comments I've read over the years but one that came up often was about just finding this series and having all these episodes to watch. I've watched nothing else in the past two days only stopping to sleep. Most amazing build I've ever watched. It's been emotional enough watching the lucky way I have. Project Binky..... I salute you. Thank you.
What is amazing is that Pete From Cortina C can actually build a couple of Cortina's from scratch, as he remakes all the rust eaten panels, in the time Binky struggles to make one car.
do you remember the day when their Mother shows up and Richard tells us something about her incredible skills in the head departement? I always thougt that was the week that Rich was told he would be a Father...
The only channel on TH-cam that takes a vintage car and rebuilds it as new. With the twist being when it’s finished it’s vintage again. Keep up the fantastic work gentlemen!.
Whatever you guys are dealing with I hope you lads are OK. Building a car is nice and all and sharing it with us is even nicer but in all reality some things are more important. Take care and hope to hear from you soon. Greetings from the Netherlands, Mark
Lost my dad in December you guys always made him laugh he followed this build from the first video just wish he was still hear to see it finished thank you guys for always putting a smile on his face stunning build attention to detail is outstanding love everything about it may it bring you many smiles per gallon 💯❤🙏
We’ve waited nearly 10 years for this moment and I’m so hoping there’s another 10 years of fettling yet. Well done Nick & Richard (and Rex, of course) for the gift of Binky.
I gotta say I think the reason this is taking so long is Rex is a bit of a slacker, I can't remember the last time I saw him make a positive contribution to the project.
no, please, not another ten years, I might not make it that long looking forward to other projects for sure this journey has been, continues to be, epic, but! next missions are waiting!!!
6 weeks to go...then it's the tenth anniversary of the first trailer posted about Binky. :) Well done guys. By far one of the best builds on the net. And of course entertaining to boot!
Project Binky only came to my attention with this episode popping up in my feed a few days ago. So of course i then did the natural thing and spent the last 3 days catching up on episodes 1 to 37, and subsequently waking up in the night in a cold sweat dreaming about brackets. How i've missed this over the last 10 years I'll never know, but thankyou to the algorithm for finally making things right again and showing me my perfect project series. Keep up the good work guys!
It was lovely to see your daughters, they're very cute. I'm looking forward to seeing them complete the hover conversion in the next episode, before passing it on to their children for the FTL drive installation in episode 40.
As i near retirement in 20 years time, i fear i may not be around long enough to witness episode 39. We don't want to beg - but if that's what it takes.
Actually, there is one channel, aaroncake, and his 1976 Mazda RX-5 Cosmo, that's been going on for longer. He got the car 15 years ago, and started working on it 12 years ago, according to the video dates.
I have just found this series and have been riveted, only to find that this started life a decade ago and I've got to this episode to find it's not finished yet. I can only imagine the sheer patience your long term viewers have to have started with episode one way back when! That being said what an absolute beaut this machine looks!!
Egads, that was worth the wait. The technical intricacies tied in with the subtle humour of nailing nic as a bender/dipstick at every available opportunity. The unparalleled soundtrack. The almost Germanic attention to each individual custom part being perfectly engineered to carry out more than one task. But with more tea....🇬🇧 The sheer bloody mindedness of producing the best you possibly can in every aspect of this build. Unmitigated brilliance, a testament to the best of British shedding. I yearn for more Escargot off the back of this, even if it is a cheese eating surrender monkey dish with an onion up its arse and a garlic clove in each ear. The day this horse of death is borne by the great snail upon *insert racetrack of choice here* will be a sight to behold. A toast of tea and biscuits ladies and gentlemen, to Project Binky!
I remember being underwhelmed when I saw you do the door cards way back when, not knowing the plans you had in store for them. This has honestly just blown me away!
TH-cam recommended this to me and for a slight second (even despite being a Patreon backer) i thought this was a new episode and i got really excited and then really sad.
Finally an update after 11 months...glad you are still alive! If you can't tell you guys were missed big time. Hope you are doing as well as you can be.
I watched the first episode as a single, met my wife, got married, had two kids, both are in school now and we got divorced. Insane 😂 Keep the great work up guys!
Found this channel thanks to superfastmatt and his "bracket" montage. Im glad I did, the fabrication in this project is simply another level. I was about halfway through the playlist before I realized the first video was 10 years ago, and this one was 4 months ago - so now Im part of the long list of people eagerly awaiting the next one!
I have been watching this from the beginning and have enjoyed every little bracket, fitting, and problem solved. I have enjoyed this so much more than other projects where everything was laser-cut, CNC machined, aerospace quality welded into such rarified air, no mere mortal could ever drive it. Those cars have their place and that are fun in the galactic budget sense, but this is how I started building and I really appreciate the obsession over details. Overall, I prefer to have my fingerprints on something I built rather than having bought a part CNC milled from unobtanium that costs so much one can't discuss the amount in polite society. I also appreciate the British vocabulary lessons. While I feel as if I know many of the words you folks use for different parts, I learned a new one today; chimney nut. That's new for me. In the U.S. we call that a speed nut. Oh, and I love the British humor too, and, the lack of nonsense drama. Nothing but pure, oldschool, fabrication geekery and detail obsession. It will actually be a little sad when it's finished. To quote Deep Purple, It's not the kill, it's the thrill of the chase... I can't wait for the next episode. Carry on gentlemen.
A thousand hosannas! I'm going to have to explain to all the new neighbors why I'm out late at night slamming the car-doors. Great work as ever, gents!
I can feel the sense of satisfaction hearing the little slick clicks from the door mechanisms and that positive sharp thump of the door closing. Engine bay also looks sharp with the symmetry in and out of the turbo. What a car...
So in 6 days I have found the project Binky series, watched every episode, and every episode of Escargot and Bargain Racement, yeah these 2 are good, the fab skills are insane. Great job guys
Totally understand that you've had some major issues in resolving the instrument displays but what I don't understand is surely you must have more than enough footage to have uploaded another episode by now....
Nearly fell of my chair when this episode appeared on my screen on a random TH-cam visit. It's been so long now I had forgotten about this brilliant series which I have backed up an an external drive , a remarkable display of skills , ingenuity and a nice touch of humour. This is without doubt the best series of true car customisation / modification far above any others out there , forget the just adding bling , bolt on parts , this is true engineering at it's raw best. Much respect guys , ah well , time for a cuppa. Lol.
Even though it's not quite finished yet, this is easily the most astonishing Mini ever made. The attention to detail is incredible. I can't get over how close to OE the whole thing looks and I hope that Alec Issigonis is looking down from upstairs with an approving grin and a thumbs up.
I work graveyard shift in the oil industry in the U.S. came across your channel via The Skid Factory. Benge watches the entire series of building Binky over the last 3 nights. Happy to have found people crazy enough to do something like this while keeping a OEM look.
I was wondering when a new Bracket Obsession Motorsport episode would come out a few days ago, and here it is. Loved it as always. The car is looking amazing.
My daughter was still in high school when this project began. Now, about 5 years later, she has her college degree and this project continues, to my delight. Stuttgart engineers have been quoted as saying that build is over engineered.
You just have to admire guys like these who slave away in their garages and one day emerge with something unique and special,,,,,, I take my hat off to you 👏
I actually really thought this would be the final episode. I’d apparently forgotten about the two universal constants: light speed and Project Binky. Jokes aside, you’re defenders of our inner child’s dreams. Though I know the actual project is a lot of the fun, I’m also so exited to see Binky finished! Keep at it chaps
Just imagine someone’s joy to just discover this build and can start at the beginning. Actually we all could probably start back at the beginning and watch them as if they were “new” as well.
When this project started it was a awesome crazy build, now 10 years on this is nothing special lol, theres hundred of better builds on youtube. 10 years on a project, you guys are crazy
I love this build and I'm glad to say I have been following since the early episodes. The thought process and fabrication that has gone into this car is nuts!!!
This is the best car project series on TH-cam, bar none.
You're biased though, you're in this one!

Oh, look, two car shows that are actually entertaining and finish their projects!

I've been paying a few bucks every month and I don't know where my money is going lol
Brilliant work yet again. I love the fact that five generations of my family have now watched this Binky series over the years.
Egads, that was worth the wait. The technical intricacies tied in with the subtle humour of nailing nic as a bender/dipstick at every available opportunity. The unparalleled soundtrack. The almost Germanic attention to each individual custom part being perfectly engineered to carry out more than one task. But with more tea....🇬🇧 The sheer bloody mindedness of producing the best you possibly can in every aspect of this build. Unmitigated brilliance, a testament to the best of British shedding. I yearn for more Escargot off the back of this, even if it is a cheese eating surrender monkey dish with an onion up its arse and a garlic clove in each ear. The day this horse of death is borne by the great snail upon *insert racetrack of choice here* will be a sight to behold.
A toast of tea and biscuits ladies and gentlemen, to Project Binky!
This comment is priceless.
Wow, hahaha, well said. Shakespeare of the TH-cam comment section
Did you have a stroke halfway through or did your edible kick in?
And for all that attention to detail neither of them thought to buy a frikkin trailer that Binky would fit on. Not all that perfect then?
Project Binky! 🥂
How you think ahead with detail, has always impressed me. Great job guys
I remember being underwhelmed when I saw you do the door cards way back when, not knowing the plans you had in store for them. This has honestly just blown me away!
Mom the new Binky episode just got posted!!
Always a great email to get, also really missing the escargo.
TH-cam recommended this to me and for a slight second (even despite being a Patreon backer) i thought this was a new episode and i got really excited and then really sad.
I want to see them get insurance on this.
Insurance "So is any of it custom?"
Nik: "yes"
Insurance: "and how much?"
Richard: "Yes"
... we may have added a bracket or two, nothing else to worry about.
@@graemeporter ... and do we need to declare the added lightness?
So Sir, has the Mini been modified in sny way?😂😂😂
If the insurance ever has tp pay out, at least they'd be able to spread the payments out over twelve years or so...
"Is any of it factory?"
"Possibly some of the roof, cant be sure"
This is the best birthday gift a fan could ask for, a new episode of my beloved Project Binky
Project Binky... best 27 years of my life!!
Amazing work again guys. I love the 'its harder than the easy way' approach :D
Your builds are amazing as well, Jeff! Can’t wait to see that yellow monster hit the road.
Finally an update after 11 months...glad you are still alive!
If you can't tell you guys were missed big time.
Hope you are doing as well as you can be.
I watched the first episode as a single, met my wife, got married, had two kids, both are in school now and we got divorced. Insane 😂
Keep the great work up guys!
Found this channel thanks to superfastmatt and his "bracket" montage. Im glad I did, the fabrication in this project is simply another level. I was about halfway through the playlist before I realized the first video was 10 years ago, and this one was 4 months ago - so now Im part of the long list of people eagerly awaiting the next one!
If anyone is still paying to be a patreon member for these guys at this point, I suggest you get some help.
Longest monetary rug in history.
Freddie saying hello was absolute epic!! Top notch craftsmanship guys thanks a lot for sharing
Aaaaaany day now another episode will drop, I can just about smell it!
The freakin Halley's comet comes around more often than a Binky episode
😂😂😂
I have been watching this from the beginning and have enjoyed every little bracket, fitting, and problem solved. I have enjoyed this so much more than other projects where everything was laser-cut, CNC machined, aerospace quality welded into such rarified air, no mere mortal could ever drive it. Those cars have their place and that are fun in the galactic budget sense, but this is how I started building and I really appreciate the obsession over details. Overall, I prefer to have my fingerprints on something I built rather than having bought a part CNC milled from unobtanium that costs so much one can't discuss the amount in polite society.
I also appreciate the British vocabulary lessons. While I feel as if I know many of the words you folks use for different parts, I learned a new one today; chimney nut. That's new for me. In the U.S. we call that a speed nut. Oh, and I love the British humor too, and, the lack of nonsense drama. Nothing but pure, oldschool, fabrication geekery and detail obsession. It will actually be a little sad when it's finished. To quote Deep Purple, It's not the kill, it's the thrill of the chase...
I can't wait for the next episode. Carry on gentlemen.
A thousand hosannas! I'm going to have to explain to all the new neighbors why I'm out late at night slamming the car-doors. Great work as ever, gents!
got a little emotional seeing Binky gently stroked into the parcel shelf …… is this the true definition of Bad Obsession? ❤
I can feel the sense of satisfaction hearing the little slick clicks from the door mechanisms and that positive sharp thump of the door closing. Engine bay also looks sharp with the symmetry in and out of the turbo. What a car...
Will you keep doing binky I started watching when I was 14 I’m 24 now!😂 just want to see the beauty finished
So in 6 days I have found the project Binky series, watched every episode, and every episode of Escargot and Bargain Racement, yeah these 2 are good, the fab skills are insane. Great job guys
Even 42 years later this is still the best channel for car building. I just hope I'm alive to see Binky finished.
Watching in reverse to see two guys save a half finished project car that has been sitting in a barn for 10 years.
Most underrated comment ever 😂.
Totally understand that you've had some major issues in resolving the instrument displays but what I don't understand is surely you must have more than enough footage to have uploaded another episode by now....
Nearly fell of my chair when this episode appeared on my screen on a random TH-cam visit. It's been so long now I had forgotten about this brilliant series which I have backed up an an external drive , a remarkable display of skills , ingenuity and a nice touch of humour. This is without doubt the best series of true car customisation / modification far above any others out there , forget the just adding bling , bolt on parts , this is true engineering at it's raw best. Much respect guys , ah well , time for a cuppa. Lol.
Nice to have you back guys.
The intro never gets old, unlike the rest of us.
I was an embryo when this series started. I’m discussing it in my master’s thesis now.
I'm watching this while my wife is in the beginning stages of labor, thanks for keeping my mind occupied, perfect timing!
Even though it's not quite finished yet, this is easily the most astonishing Mini ever made. The attention to detail is incredible.
I can't get over how close to OE the whole thing looks and I hope that Alec Issigonis is looking down from upstairs with an approving grin and a thumbs up.
I’ve never been as excited for a TH-cam video 🎉
Happy day when a new Project Binky drops. This thing has been going on so long it started in Black & White.
Absolutely awesome episode chaps. Please don't leave it too for episode 39 x
I can but admire the mastery of bracketry which Nik displays every single episode. 💙
The bracket in the door to hold the zip tie for the window control switch cable. Holy crap! Did he ACTUALLY think of that WAAAAAY back even then???
I work graveyard shift in the oil industry in the U.S. came across your channel via The Skid Factory. Benge watches the entire series of building Binky over the last 3 nights. Happy to have found people crazy enough to do something like this while keeping a OEM look.
Water pump colour coding, easy to remember:
Black for Back, Red for Rear.
Happy to help.
I was wondering when a new Bracket Obsession Motorsport episode would come out a few days ago, and here it is.
Loved it as always. The car is looking amazing.
I've seen less care go into rebuilding an engine than Nick puts into a fabricating a bracket
My daughter was still in high school when this project began. Now, about 5 years later, she has her college degree and this project continues, to my delight. Stuttgart engineers have been quoted as saying that build is over engineered.
OH GOD IT'S FINALLY HERE
EPISODE 38
I HAVEN'T BEEN THIS HAPPY TO SEE A VIDEO ARRIVE SINCE EPISODE 37 OF PROJECT BINKY
Cold four pack in the fridge, curry just arrived, jeeber freshly rolled, here's me thinking my Friday night couldn't get any better!
You just have to admire guys like these who slave away in their garages and one day emerge with something unique and special,,,,,, I take my hat off to you 👏
Worth waiting for! See you all same time next year for episode 39 folks! 🍻
I actually really thought this would be the final episode. I’d apparently forgotten about the two universal constants: light speed and Project Binky.
Jokes aside, you’re defenders of our inner child’s dreams. Though I know the actual project is a lot of the fun, I’m also so exited to see Binky finished!
Keep at it chaps
Me too. I think I’m actually past caring
Just imagine someone’s joy to just discover this build and can start at the beginning.
Actually we all could probably start back at the beginning and watch them as if they were “new” as well.
I remember when bom used to spit out 2 or 3 binky episodes a year
When this project started it was a awesome crazy build, now 10 years on this is nothing special lol, theres hundred of better builds on youtube. 10 years on a project, you guys are crazy
M539 restorations is a self taught mechanic who is putting these guys to shame when it comes to amount of content.
Shut your dirty mouth! Just started watching and it is the best thing on TH-cam.
This channel is for not for everyone.
Awesome to see you guys back! Been missing this project so much! 🎉👏
Yours is also an epic build of a classic. And tons of bracketry goodness too! Looking forward to seeing it on the roads in Ontario some day.
@@shaunlaverty8898 We’re looking forward to that too 😬🤞 cheers Shaun! 🤜
It would be the greatest series on TH-cam….if it were ever finished or at least continued….?
I love this build and I'm glad to say I have been following since the early episodes. The thought process and fabrication that has gone into this car is nuts!!!
Jesus, I had completely forgotten about you guys, and immensely elated to see a new episode. Keep ‘em coming
One year, four months, eleven days.
That’s how long it’s been since episode 37.
Let’s hope the wait for episode 39 isn’t as long.
It has been longer actually :( That dash was more complicated than they thought I guess 😂
