The frame gig amazing, and was a key part of the build that many people over look. Others would have built on jack stands and called it a day, and ended up with a nice twisty frame.

    .....I'm just saying, when you throw a Mini at Toyota Celica at terminal velocity, what's it going to drive like? My guess is a super short wheelbase Celica, with mini looks. That's all. And I'm not sure that's a good thing. Just something to think about.
    I don't think they would be happy/done until it drove exactly how they want.

      What if I told you that you don't have to be "OCD" or on any spectrum to do good work? :) Eheheh.

      But....when they are done, it's done??!?!? It's not like they can swap in another drive train. I think my question was legit.

        They literally named their shop "Obsessive" Motorsport.

          Good thing they didn't name it "OCD Motorsports", or I might have to to eat crow. Whoosh - that was close! So yea....but still. You don't have to have OCD to be obsessive.

          Just like most autistic people aren't from Austin, TX. It's really simple math here people!!!! I don't know what the issues is!

          /sarcasm Tis' just a joke. Tip your waitress.

            lol, what is this autism joke all about? haha!

            I do owe you a huge amount of gratitude either way because you were still the one to show me this series, which absorbed a lot of my time. lol

              How this car drives when ‘completed’ is pretty irrelevant as no one here is ever going to drive it or probably even lay their own eyes on it. Just appreciate the series for what it is, some goddamn amazing fab work. They continually amaze me with the lengths they go to stuff a mini body on top of a Celica drivetrain.

                Or when they spend a few days fabbing something and then end up cutting that thing up to fit another thing. It's nuts.

                  The patience and determination are most impressive to me.

                  I also now love to tell people I use CAD to design parts for my car :D

                        I need a welder to fall from the sky, and 2 weeks of my calendar to open up. No scratch that - I have enough projects at the moment.

                          It's painted! And it's seriously cool.

                          In episode 33 of Project Binky we finally get some colour on the mini! As usual, nothing is straightforward and the paint job takes on a life of its own. Pai...
