chaseracer Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 Well, that took me right back to that week in early December when we applied many coats of primer and Jaguar blue to the 2CV racer. LightBulbFun 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunglebus Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 That paint is pretty cool. Now they just have to bolt the oily bits back in without scratching anything LightBulbFun 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Formula Autos Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 What does everyone reckon the engine bay tinware being painted dark green was all about then? Just them winding everyone up? A nod to the colour of the original A-series block? Or just a need to get some paint on a few bits and bobs, and green was what happened to be lying about? I was convinced Binky was going to be BRG, having seem hints of it on newly painted parts in the engine bay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marina door handles Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 I think they were just going for a trad contrast look as the dark green/ grey bits would look good against the .... Mystery colour that I shall not mention!..... Having said that I thought the colour was going to be a bit more in your face, how wrong was I!

MorrisItalSLX Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 That paint job is truly extraordinary, subtle and lairy in equal measures. It also appears the clue to what the colour would be was in episode (redacted). dome, LightBulbFun, Low Horatio gearbox and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was arranged to go to Weston Park a while ago. On the videos it clearly isn’t running properly as if it needs mapping. They’re probably working on it and the videos as we speak. Hopefully!

It got thrown together quickly to make a meet and greet/show deadline at Weston Park, it very much wasn't finished and some minor details were glossed over. They've since taken it all apart again to do it properly and document the assembly/make YT videos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunglebus Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 Not entirely sold on the wheels. I'm not a Minilite fan, but a set of those or 4 spoke Revolutions would suit it better UltraWomble 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MorrisItalSLX Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 My only gripe is they fitted bullet mirrors, which as far as I’m concerned should be systematically removed from all classic minis with a lump hammer. Blake's Den 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hadn’t noticed that, especially as for the most part it has all the features of a 90s Mini with the side repeaters, reverse lights, bubble arches and graphics pack. Now I have 2 gripes.

Agreed,the mk1 grille looks awful on it. I'm beginning to think of binky as a journey rather than the destination.,the concept and the packaging are fantastic, but the finished product leaves me feeling a bit meh! djim, Mrcento, FakeConcern and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
