If you like fabrication you'll love their videos.

Someone else suggested to me that I should look at that series and I also thought their was someone on here who was also putting a Subaru engine into a Mini?

The sad thing is, we started building ours LONG before those guys but they're way ahead of us

The mini running the subaru engine is fully up and running now and I've seen pictures of the guy doing donuts in it on facebook. Will be a weapon. The mini is now owned by the guy (Donny Wynn) who built the white subaru engined Vauxhall Viva.

I'll go take a look at that in a second.

Watched all the 'Project Binky' episodes! I like what they've done but as they say themselves, everything seems WAY over engineered!
But, seeing as it is he's own car, it does actually make sense to do it right the first time and he is probably someone who enjoys the building more than anything else!

Yeah, that Nik is a pretty clever fabricator. I've learnt a few things just from watching the series.
