UltraWomble Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Im sat there thinking - but you have to REMOVE all of that now to apply paint :/ I would have wandered off months years ago and bought a streetwise instead. The Moog 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conrad D. Conelrad Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 The 'CAD' heater box is still one of the most amazing parts of this build. They've outdone themselves with the alternator/aircon pulley arrangement in this latest video. That is some truly astounding work.

chodweaver Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Epic as ever. Oh, to have a reason to spend so much time at a lathe, milling machine etc. (And, oh, to have the skills to not turn all those billets and pulleys into scrap) Nicola H and LightBulbFun 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RRT22R Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 For me, this is the best car content available. I can't wait to see what colour they paint it.

And also like Death's horse, we think it'll be fast enough to travel through time and across dimensions... pretty sure its going to stay white (side note I cant help but notice their account is now a guest one, is that just something that happens if they post after so long or is it something you specifically have to request?)

Ghosty Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 From what I can tell Guest_User_* accounts are relics of accounts that have been deleted/closed somehow on a far, far previous version of the forum software. They only really appear in threads from 4+ years ago.I only know as I'd been looking through old threads and watanabe (an old alias of alcyonecorporation) comes up as one, and he's on his 3rd AS account (voluntarily I might add).

There's the occasional purge of accounts who haven't posted in a number of years and had fewer than a set number of posts. I think the last one was 3 inactive years and It's just to keep the backups manageable really, before we (recently) turned on some extra verification steps there were literally thousands of spammer accounts.

cort16 Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 I wondered why there's more videos lately and recently noticed they get $7000 per episode from Patreon. I can see that being a motivator! The Moog 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skizzer Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 I’m in no rush for them to finish it anyway - I could watch them fabricate beautiful overcomplicated brackets all day.

UltraWomble Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 Has anyone else wondered how the hell this will get road registered? Given that the only bit of the original mini is the shell, and possibly a bit of the front & rear subframes its going to have to go for an IVA - I started reading the manual and lost the plot, so i wandered off to find some cheese to eat LightBulbFun and GrumpiusMaximus 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pillock Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 I did wonder that - at first I thought it was going to be a rally car, but then it's got electric windows and DAB radio and stuff in so clearly not.Perhaps they'll just keep it quiet and hope nobody notices they'll have done about 25 hours of YouTube videos documenting how far it is from a standard Mini "STILL 850cc ON LOG BUK" LightBulbFun, UltraWomble and The Moog 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skizzer Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 Looking at this summary version, I reckon they’ll be ok getting an IVA: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/individual-vehicle-approval-iva-for-cars-help-to-get-a-pass/individual-vehicle-approval-iva-for-cars-help-to-get-a-pass It’s mostly sensible stuff like are there any sharp bits where they would do harm and are the wires and pipes installed in a professional way (by modern standards - I think my FE Victor, for instance, would have failed on wiring from the factory).

gadgetgricey Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Well I somehow only found out about this a couple of weeks ago, and Sunday morning thought I'll sit down and watch the first one.Many Many Many hours later, I had watched the entire series much to the annoyance of the wife as I'd basically sat on my arse all day and not done a thing. For anyone who was like me and does not know about the channel, It's a couple of blokes from a motorsport workshop who are trying to fit the mechanical's from a Celica Turbo 4WD into a BL Mini. Half of me wishes I'd found out about it next year as they only seem to release a vid every month, so could then watch it through to the end. (The first vid was released in 2013, and they have not even started the engine yet) For a mechanical luddite like me its amazing to see how they sort out the obvious issues, but its interspersed with a lot of laugh out loud humour. A lot from Police Squad, including the tall man with something in his mouth gag reworked (If you have seen the vids, you will know what I mean, but don't want to spoil it for anyone who has not watched) Did have a search on here to see if it was referenced anywhere with no success and didn't post in the You Tube thread as its not just a one off interesting video. As its a series, thought it deserved its own thread. (Mods feel free to move if you desire) If anyone like me was also unaware, its a really good /interesting watch. You just might want to stagger yourself though, otherwise you will lose a day Flip front goes up, Flip front goes down, flip front goes up, flip front goes down.
