I thought this was to do with that local Mini someone was planning to convert to 4x4. What ever happened to that one? I've already watched 7 episodes of this and it is fantastic. Very inspiring to get out and get stuff done to my Rover P6. I love his attitude - it doesn't fit well we'll make it fit.

The level of precision that they get into is quite incredible. I think they know themselves that the car is over engineered, which means that progress can be slow.

Yeah it did seem a bit light on content but i imagine that side repeater hole being a bit out probably killed a day or so to get back to where they started. Theres loads of work to re-package all the engine ancillaries after they binned them so they can get to the point of wiring it and starting it up. Few more episodes to go then!

Yes, they haven't even touched the running gear yet. That rear subframe looks like it needs to go on a serious diet and be made from a nice tubular birdcage. They'll get their gold watches out of this! Serious project to take on for 2 blokes in a shed fair play to them.

I comment on every video asking for them to show more behind the scenes fabrication. Even a episode in between 'Binky' episodes would be great.

They need to get @Ge0rge on the team - to get her finished and advertised on Gumtree inside 2 weeks........

I for one can't wait to see how they are going to put the drivey-bits under this weapon...... but I guess I'll just have to be patient.

They're open about their sponsorship with SIP. They do competitions and stuff.

Definitely dragging this out a bit but still, it's quality > quantity.
