Project Binky!
« on: April 23, 2015, 04:03:23 PM »
These guys are stuffing a drivetrain from a turbo Toyota Celica AWD into an oldskool MINI. Phenominal metalwork and restoration, as well as clever engineering. Complete with liberal doses of British Humour. Up to 9 episodes at the moment!

This is also required watching material for anyone who is thinking about an AWD or RWD drivetrain conversion. Not saying it would be this much work in a Capri. Just watch it !

I can't believe someone with a CNC mill doesn't have a band-saw.   But it sell great.
