Awesome fab skills - 4WD turbo Mini project on youtube.

I love that build. Partly because my wife is English, partly because the attention to detail is insane, and partly because I have always said if mini made an awd car I would be interested for once.

The "All-Trac" as it's called in the US actually has quite the cult following. A friend of mine has one (GT turbo) and has owned it for many years with several engine/turbo iterations.

I'm beginning to think that it's a lot of work to fit a Toyota Celica drive train/suspension into a Mini. I can't say I've driven a 4wd Celica, but of all the 90's Toyota cars I've driven, I was never like "Oh, this car is such a great platform, I have to transfer it to another car!!" And yes, I know Toyota raced the 4wd as a rally car at some point, but they are starting with the street car. So...yea. Just a lot of questions. But I do love their fab skills with limited tools. That to me, is why I keep watching.

Why even doubt it? They obviously know what they are doing with all aspects of the build being methodically thought-out.

Anotha one! I'd recommend everyone to donate to their Patreon if you like their videos, there's a $1/mo tier.

I love the detail they go in to, but the anticipation is killing me.

Just finished watching episode 20. I'm always dissapointed when each episode ends. I always look forward to watching whenever I get a notification for a new episode. I love the attention to detail.

To be fair, they are dealing with a very small space.

E30 owners complain about 14" wheels. I met the real Austin Mini in about 1993 and I was amazed there were actually 10" wheels. o.0
