At first I was dubious. The best you say? So I watched, my interest built, now my jaw sits on the floor as I'm captivated by their work. Sharing it with all I know will appreciate it.

Harry's Garage is one of the channels I thought was the best. Thankfully I don't have to relegate him as they offer different content.

Harry's awesome too. Probably the best car review channel on YouTube. I LOOOOVE his Lancia Fulvia too. I like Doug Demuro, but he's a bit formulaic and doesn't leave you with a good insight into what it's actually like to drive what we're looking at.

One of the guys at work drops regular cash on Project Binky via Patreon. He has quite a bit spare and is a nice person and wants people to succeed. Bit of a weirdo, really.

Project Binky has a side project that includes turning a truck thing into a car transporter and putting a decent engine in it and stuff. Check that out too.

[sidecar bob]

Up to episode 18:niceone:

[bistard]

I am up to episode 18 as well, I am fascinated with his fabrication skills!!

[HenryDorsetCase]

That Project Binky is an excellent find - I am loving it.

[onearmedbandit]

It's a great series, one of the best and I've introduced a few to it now. Common thoughts are it really is about how to build a fast car from scratch that looks like a mini using only a mini roof. That in no way is a criticism, I know fuck all about fabrication, but I know enough to recognise these guys are something else. It's a combination of amazing skills, know how, math and artistry. I want to binge watch them but like eating a perfectly cooked steak I'm taking my time.

Well, spent a few hours last night watching BINKY! amazed and glued to the creen till 2.37am. Butt, went looking for more today, their last report was in 2018 and as far as i can tell they not only havent finished the build they've not filmed anything since about episode 34.:weep:
Darn it, thye make the most amazing brackets.:clap:
The engineering is simple and they use basic toolls, but the results are bloody astounding.:first:

This Old Tony is great, an eclectic mix of all areas of fabrication and engineering. great mix of informative, useful and funny.

Also recently found Jeff Walker's youtube channel, privateer moto-x bloke trying to make his way. nothing really new in it, but something about the bloke is refreshing and genuine - worth a gander if the dirt stuff interests you.

That's pretty much how I feel about it, but several times an episode I find myself asking, "Why?"
Which is odd really, because I know the answer.

The answer to the question, "Why is he doing this?" is the same as the answer to the question, "Why does a dog lick his balls?"
The answer is, "Because he can."

So, just putting it out there. Wouldn't it just ge a fuck ton easier to build a space frame, sort of ike a wide 750F1, then drop a mini shape cover over the top? Guess you would have to lift your leg way up to get over the door area, but its got to be easier, lighter and stronger. Is it the door compromise that holds cars back? Guess they make stock cars a bit like that?

Start a youtube channel and get on with it then. Or just don't watch theirs and don't concern yourself over what others are doing on their own builds?

He tells us every second episode: "Its a road car". So opening doors, sound insulation, carpet, a working radio, and HVAC. Its even got fucking four speed wipers and electric windows!

And lets be honest, its not about making it easy: those guys have the skills to do what you've talked about. They just don't want to.

[F5 Dave]

Actually I'm on episode 8 and it's just been mentioned that it's a roadcar. Thought they said he was into rally so assumed they were building something for some strange class.

[Kickaha]

Watched the whole series in the last two days plus some Q & A and Escargot, not much of a car person but like the problem solving on how to fit things into the spaces and the fabrication

Please forgive me though James I only just worked out "Binky" about 2 hours after I finished watching and given other references through the series it shouldn't have taken anywhere near that long

I've just had an email from an old friend in the UK who owns a pristine white Hillman Imp, as well as other stuff. His car featured on TV being driven by the presenters as part of a UK TV series called Car SOS. It's on the National Geographic Channel over there - don't know whether the series is on in NZ. I've got a bit of a soft spot for the Imp and thought that the restoration/upgrade job they did on an old rustbucket was quite interesting, especially the press shop that makes custom panels for just about anything. Converting it to motorcycle fuel injection looked pretty straightforward too. This is the programme: https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x7t30c3 .

Thanks for that - will look out for it :2thumbsup . A friend I grew up with had one in rally trim and it was so nice to drive. If it wasn't for the quality issues they mentioned, it would have been better than the Mini. There's a Sunbeam Stiletto version down in the car museum next to WOW in Nelson which is an absolute cracker. I took these photos a couple of years ago.

Crikey, this lockdown is responsible for some entertaining threads.

When I was little (awwww) my dad had a Hillman Imp, pale blue. He would cram in the family and drive from north of Newcastle to Cornwall for our hols every year. Not sure what he did to it but it went like stink and was very good at Production Car Trials. I was chief bouncer.

Somewhere in the mix he had a Mini Traveller, that went like a cut cat, too. He would race anyone who looked at him twice. Even on the grocery run.

At some point a Magenta turned up. This is he.

A guy in Murchison used to down them down to make farm hack utes, they had pretty good traction due the engine over the wheels.

[pete376403]

The Mk 1 Imps had head gasket problems which was improved with the mk II (straight edge) block. I wonder if a root cause of the gasket problem was that the head was supposed to be retorqued at the cars first service. However that required removal of the cam and cam follower carrier to get at the head bolts, and there was not all that much room between the top of the engine and the rear parcel shelf, so maybe it didn't always get done.

And while looking for something else in the shed today, found an ice-cream container of the Imp Sport valves and valve springs off an engine that I (tried to) modify, Had the Sport exhaust extractors and twin 1 1/4" Strombergs. Hunter resonator for a muffler. Also put the radiator in the spare wheel well in the front. At the time I liked to think I improved it.

I used his CAD method of making a bracket yesterday. Saved me a fuck up.
Now to teach myself to be more patient and do it all the time.

[F5 Dave]

I always use cardboard and if required then the plywood version follows so you can try it out with limited stress.

Here's one from like 3 weeks ago mounting an aftermarket chain guide on the dirtbike. Getting it in the right place for adjustments over wheel movements and to not drag too heavily took several iterations of holes. Then final in ally plate. Would have been a killer doing it in metal every time.

Its actually 3 varying thickness pieces of plate bolted together to make it thick enough and central to chain run hence the sprocket appears to travel through the plate.

Revival Cycles - makers of the birdcage BMW. Good little video this. Also its made of titanium which is the perfect frame material - better than steel, better than aluminium, way better than crabon fribe. Downside is its difficult to work with.

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3aZOwTSvAXA-vbySn2BW1Q

[F5 Dave]

It has other downsides as BSA found out in the 50s.

Steel, if it were discovered today would be considered a 'Wonder' material. Its elastic deformation far outperforms most other metals meaning it is less prone to cracking.

Up to episode 21. Still flabbergasted how complicated cars are. Or overcomplicated by their own admission.

Looms are good from scratch. Painful from std go highly modified. Especially when your requirements evolve mid process. From scratch is easier but you need a big piece of paper for the diagram and to understand if you are switching power or connecting ground to complete the circuit.

And don't solder. And never ever bloody ever use preinsulated crimps.

On reflection I think you may be right. I gave my BSA history book and parts book to a guy who was restoring a B44 so I can't check. IIRC the book explained that when Jeff Smith won the title the factory management got excited and insisted on a titanium frame against Smith's objections. So that would be, as you say, 1966.

I was recalling it as being from nearer the end of the line, a last desperate throw of the dice, but apparently not.

the machine used is similar for doing concrete testing for compressive strength
a 50mpa cylinder is like a shotgun going firing.

Milyards xl175. Not a torque wrench to be seen. And fair enough too.

But Imagine his son getting the engine back.

'Wot?!!?!@' still a single cylinder?

Nice to see a bunch of other Bad Obsession Motorsports fans here. Thought I was the only masochist who'd been following Binky for years. Thanks for some of the other links guys. Automotive Youtube channels are so good. I spend a lot of time watching them and also people who repair, design and build valve guitar amplifiers.

I am trying to see how they are going to get air to the compressor much less the intercooler and throttle body and get the bonnet shut. Very nice little deadpan from Nik there.... just jump up and down on it with slippers on and extend the front a few inches....

[F5 Dave]

Isn't he adorably enthusiastic?

Binky has had me wondering. I was sure I'd bought a step drill in the deep past just because. Never really knew what it did, seemed a lazy mans odd job tool. Never really considered sheet. Generally just clamp stuff and use reduced shank drills. But it looks easier and safer.

Found it in a little box intended for a few sizes. Only 4-20, but must remember to try it out someday.

[HenryDorsetCase]

I've watched a few Mighty Car Mods (OK more than a few) - but I am not really that interested in the cars they work on. Except Yaris Hilton which they blew up.

I do like these guys a lot - The Skid Factory. I am enjoying the LS1 into R32 Skyline (four door!). Plus theres lots of actual making of things.

I am such a sad case I watched an entire video of them (Nik) stripping the gearbox and transfer case and front diff and reassembling it. Its like meditation - but with hammers and spanners.

Yes.

Someone has engine swapped a V12 into an MX5, the Sheer combination of lunacy and engineering panache is intoxicating.

I'm over the moon he is releasing so much content. For years their were just a few clips from shows.

That interview is quite an eye opener, shame the interviewer is not a good listener.

I highly recommend his V10 Viper build. Some really out of the box thinking.

And to think it started with a mini..

[F5 Dave]

Yeah that's Bertie, editor of CMM magazine. Hes a mag journalist so what you expect.

[george formby]

We have paint!

And epic it is, too.:banana:

[HenryDorsetCase]

Shit yeah - that's excellent. Binky 33.

What I want them to do for the final is have all the bits laid out like an Airfix kit and set up cameras doing nonstop photos so we can see it happen in two minutes. then play backwards then forwards.

A number of comments mentioned those that have passed away since the build started. One guy has beat lung cancer and gives a nod to Binky for motivation, he doesn't want to miss the finish.

Sad and humorous at the same time.

Love the paint job, not what I expected.

Yeah, a short re-cap of all the work involved would be really impressive. Starting with the spit roast.

[R650R]

VEHCOR is a channel worth checking g out. USA dude who buys wrecked cars and repairs them properly often after someone else has stuffed the job up. Very insightful about how damage can be more than it looks....

I had a Mk1 Escort (1.3l) at one point. 4 door. AWFUL car. I am going to google that though.


I saw one ages ago that had a 12A bridgeport Rotang in it, which I grudgingly admit was kinda cool. Pig to fit in the engine bay apparently even though the motors are physically quite small.

[george formby]

My second car was a Morris Minor traveller which I loved.

Crikey! It's all coming out now.

2 years running I got a lift to Glastonbury in an ex UK post office Morris Minor traveller. Oh, the shenanigans.:banana:

That stirs another memory. I fondly remember being taken advantage of by an "older woman" - with huge knockers - who drove a Morris Minor. She got me in to see the Scorpions for free, took me home and had her way after we finished our kebabs.

Ah, cheers for the memories.

[F5 Dave]

After our mini was passed onto a favoured cousin, I got to use a cooking model fiord laser. Then we swapped back for a week for some reason. At 16 I remember being startled how everything on the mini was completely shit. I was spoilt by an ex rental 1100cc 1980 Mazda clone.

Best feature on the mini, which now felt like sitting on a vibrating collapsed beer crate was the oversized steering wheel which helped you to pull on as you stamped on the brakes. Bear in mind the previous owner from new was my granny and is was low mileage so it wasn't a nail, except by design.

Actual suspension, actual brakes, and a gearbox that wasn't like shaking a stick in a cave will be a substantial improvement on Binky, let alone seats made for humans and rain sensing wipers.

:laugh:
Parallel lives. I put up a green house a couple of years ago. The instructions were not clear on how to assemble the base so I concreted the foundations in the wrong place... As I do. I only realised this when it came to assembling the roof which was connected to where the foundations should have been.:facepalm:

Pretty sure there were more than 9000 bolts in the kit and none of the holes lined up.

I have been asked to put up a shed, too. I'm coming up with excuses but the truth is I'm frightened.:laugh:

they wouldnt be my first choice either but I wondered whether they are the wheels that duct air to the brake calipers - liike a Lancia Delta Integrale had? Given how hot it is under Binky's bonnet and the probable lack of airflow I did wonder that.

Maybe not ducting air TO the calipers, but away from - the wheels would be drawing air from the centre out as they spin, picking up the hot air thats spun out by the ventilated disks. If the disks are shrouded by wide wheels it would impede the airflow, so turn the wheel into an extension of the disk cooling ducts.

Came across this in my travels... thought amsoil was a bit of a secondary player but it seems they really know their stuff and we’re the first to make synthetic oils.... watched third in series today which was great about testing gonna havevto findvtime to watch the second one. Anyway here’s first in series....

I am really keen to see how they went about designing the dash.

I was a tad taken aback by that. As 2strokestuffing say's - "If it's easy, it's not worth doing."

I would have thought having only seen it running dreadfully, getting it on the dyno and the ECU mapped correctly would be the first thing to do.

Another seriously long term project

Another seriously long term project

yeah real world budgets do that, not to mention the rust.....
Its pretty slick for tow guys in a tiny garage without lots of expensive tools though.

It's shit. It needs to be crushed into a small cube. Who the ever living fuck spends this much money on an Allegro? I'll tell you: A colossal fucking idiot. I hope some random piano drops out of the sky the first time it's wheeled into the sunshine and fucks it up four ways from Tuesday.

Now then. This is special: its the two door with the fancy front panel. British Leyland's answer to the hot hatch. I am hoping that the first time he feeds it the fat on the road it stretches and the doors fly open... Old boy doing the fabrication seems to know his shit. (I am only at Ep 2 but enjoying the build. I do like the big old jig he built too though it isnt as sophisticated as the Binky one.

It needs to be fucked with a log.

So you like the Jag powered Princess better then ?

[husaberg]

So you like the Jag powered Princess better then ?

There was something in a book about how the princess was designed to be a hatchback but BL thought it would steal sales from the Allegro so they deleted it.
Only redeeming quality wityh princesses was they had Lockhead 4 piston calipers that you could transplant onto Ford Escorts.
At the time, the only thing uglier then both of the Princess and the Allegro was the Maxi.

False equivalency informal logical fallacy.

That should meet its end as a prop for the fat chick Sports Illustrated calendar followed by a long bath in a 1ppm sodium ion hydrochloric acid bath.

They all rotted slower (slightly) than Datsun's.

They all rotted slower (slightly) than Datsun's.
I had a Datsun 180B. It was 10 years old when I got it. My Dad got a new Austin Princess. The Princess did not last longer than the Datsun. It was completely structurally fucked at 5 years of age. I sold the Datsun to my Mum's boss. It was 24 years old when it was struck off as NEFR. I replaced a head gasket and it's suspension at 110,000 kms. Mum's boss had it repainted and the rear arches repaired. It did another 100,000 before it went to the yard in 1998.

Perspectives. When they started selling Datsuns in the UK many of them were rusty from new then the salty roads finished them off. Mechanically great, though. Probably a good time to have bought waxoyl shares.

Not just Datos

I have been watching this one its amazing what rusts and where and what doesn't sometimes

his cut and butt technique and his fab methods are worth watching

[HenryDorsetCase]

So you thought that Binky was perhaps going on a bit.? Quite the big undertaking? Needs a bit of a shed and a fair amount of technical knowledge?

yeah, those guys have got nothing on this guy.

He buys a wooden boat and "restores" it. 152 episodes, so far. MAJOR commitment. Unbelievable workmanship. The technical details (look up the "lofting" episodes) will make your head spin. Plus there is an interesting cast of characters and some very cool pets.

I have been sick for the last few days and been binge watching the hell out of these.

It's going to be a lovely boat when (if) ever he finishes it. Not so sure about cutting a hole in the side to insert a front door but I guess they know what they;re doing. The engine and electrical installation is really really nice.

From the pictures i've seen in the wee magazine that is sporadically left in my letter box Noah managed it. He didn't even have the internet for help.

Binky. Episode 38. Sunday morning, it's raining. Lovely. Contains brackets.

Well I missed that more than I realised. Thanks for posting link.

Still think cars are overly complex. It's a road car. But I just keep thinking, everything added is weight.
Sorry. Its an Obsession left over from racing tiny cc motorcycles.

A Bad Obsession.

:yes: I briefly thought about posting a comment suggesting they used the scales at JCB to weigh the car.

There are people with good skills and the opportunity to display them on YouTube. I came across a Brit guy restoring a French chateau destroyed by fire in the 1980s. Basically there are only walls and ground floors remaining, almost all woodwork: stairs, upper floors, and roof, all gone. There are other similar projects but one is enough thanks.

I'm susceptible though and will check out the Tally Ho rebuild. Winter is coming, the weather will likely ensure viewing time.

I was completely (April) fooled. (The Tally Ho front door)

I glanced at this a wee while ago and quickly became very impressed with the builder. Obviously too busy to start a youtube channel.

I was so impressed by it I am now a patron!

I was sort of skeptical but what fooled me was the very last shot of the chainsaw going through the hull planking......

[sugilite]

Maybe this 12 rotor rotary motor is the engine upgrade Binky needs to overcome all the weight of those brackets?

Making your own PCB is doing things the hard way, places such as PCBway can prototype them very quickly and relatively cheaply

[F5 Dave]

Or they could have just current limited the too bright LEDs rather than turned the voltage down. A bit of trial and error, use the original guages and be done in a single evening.
Then get on to getting it to run properly.

Where's the fun in that! Anyway, i loved the little Ooh, when he successfully slid the plug base over all the tail ends and it slotted in nicely. He didn't say, and I know he was thinking it, "suits you!"

[F5 Dave]

The fun is getting it finished before life run out.

[pete376403]

New post up today about making the PCB. Definitely doing things the hard way

That was a shit load of faffing about but the end result did justify it
