  • Project Binky: A Toyota Celica GT-Four engine, gearbox and running gear is being shoe-horned into a 1980 Mini 1000. In episode 4, the Mini finally gets an engine. All the running gear gets installed and there's a miracle prop-shaft situation.
    It finally dawns on us that it just might be possible to get the 3SGTE engine in the car and the project might just work!
    Please share far and wide. Thanks for watching!

What I've been trying to figure out was how to properly locate the front suspension and transverse engine in an engine bay meant for a longitudinally mounted engine. Your videos just taught me how to do it.
    Thank you so much. Watching these videos has re-kindled my desire to start my own AWD conversion.

    Gotta say... if not rather late in the piece... this project is seriously bonkers... binge watching atm. Love the CAD design, the humour and the fabrication is at an insane level... love the show guys... and now for the next few episodes!!!!

    Great work guys. I wish I only had your skills and facilities to create things for my own four.

      We hope the finished article will do justice to the awesome GT-Four.

      I am sure it will come out fine. I am curious about your bump steer solution. I had been in talks with one company on coming up with a solution for lowered 185s, but if they do not I will likely have to get something fabricated. I already have a tierod flip kit, now we are hoping for an extended ball joint. Bad Obsession Motorsport
