Gents, congratulations to all who lived long enough to see the next episode
I actually died a month ago but I came back to life just to watch Project Binky.
It's been 84 years...
And a moment of silence for those who didn't
@@TheYongary At least one person that was a patron has died in the last few months and the impression I got from the message put out on Twitter the person been with the project since the start
@@TheYongary F in the chat boys.
A moment of silence for those that passed away and never got to see binky painted.
My Dad sadly, he loved this series 😔
@@supersteveo20 so sorry for your loss xxx
Seriously, I was diagnosed with lung cancer early in this build, and it wasn't looking good. Somehow I managed to beat it, and in all sincerity, wanting to be around to see Binky finished played a part in my resolve to beat it. I've been cancer free for 6 years now, and at this point I hope they never finish the car, it's looking like it's my key to immortality.
@@mickenzie5863 Dude! Congrats! Glad you're still around!
@@mickenzie5863 👏🏻fantastic news, glad to hear youre on the mend
After years of over engineering everything on this build, it's a given that the paintwork deserves the same level of attention. Good job lads.
This project is as old as my son, but let me tell you - it finaly looks more like a car than he does.
Outstanding comment!
You win 😂😂😂
Finally 😂😂
Presumably Tony will get round to actually strangling Nik when he wants the Escargot painted to match.
A new paint booth would almost certainly be required. That would be one hell of a paint fee.
@@Azlehria the escargot IS the paint booth XD
@@vanoscrap6296🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This time, Project Binky is literally in colour!
No it's not! It's in Black and White! I would have expected a 5 year, over-engineered AWD Mini to be in technicolor red, white and blue, BR Green and red, or silver. Anything other than black and white!
@@bigmal3128 "Then I looked and saw a pale horse. It's rider's name was death"
Binky is death's horse.
@@JamesChurchill3 Yes, so much yes! I would have been so, so disappointed if it wasn't white. And, it's better than I had dreamed!
@@bigmal3128 I think that's the joke. After all the curiosity and debate on what color he'd pick, he DIDN'T pick any color. Obviously, they added some amazing details, and the quality is 1.72x10^10 better than the original paint, but essentially, he put it back to it's (or similar Mini) original scheme.
Gentleman, no joking, it's gorgeous, bravo. I'm an American that hates over engineering.... This is a mechanic's work of art. It's Binky incarnate.
Excellent video as usual you legends. “Well baked, moist and tasty”.
Cheers lads!
Legends! ❤️

WOW GROSS IT TASTES LIKE UNICORN FART
When's the collab boys?
It's amazing what regular Tea breaks can achieve, without a Honda badge in sight ! (hopefully).
Incredible, incredible work. The paint details are absolutely amazing in both idea and execution!
When I saw the thumbnail for this episode, I thought they had chosen a green colour!!!
I was really happy, as I love green, but.......fuck. :(
Still, the final paint-job with the BOM logos looks really fantastic. I love this series, and have just finished my own restoration project that took two years. (Morris 1300)
Had enough sense to not paint it themselves... unlike this other fella doing up a red wannabee sports car... when's the next episode out Ronald?
No it's not.
Hey Ronald
hello checkmark
that pearl effect thing is really insane and looks so good that's impressive
Thanks!
Agreed. It's not just a paint job, it's a work of art.
A little too understated but I'm not British so it might look positively flamboyant to you lot
Fantastic paint finish! The scheme fits the theme for the build so perfectly.
@@lovecraftcat agreed bit unnoticeable really shame
Looking good boys. Only that one little run..... But, I wouldn't worry about it
😜
😂😂
I think Tony missed a spot XD
That was Filthy... Rich...
denibbing fixes small runs, Trev's Blog showed how to fix big ones by filling over the run to make it easier sand off perfectly. but the spot they missed was deliberate i'm sure, we'll find out next episode in however many months ;)
Project Binky, in colour!
Only if the colour is old English white.
@@girrrrrrr2 once i had a MK I in old english white with a black roof it was really a good color choice. (Other than a black roof can make the car really hot in the summer)
Now i have a MK3 in Almond Green with Old English White Roof.
And what colours they are!
"Hey Tony, we've decided to do the Escargo in exactly the same scheme to match Binky.... Tony?.... Tony?..."
Is the Escargot even still alive? I guess it's on the bottom of a lake by now..

Somewhere out there is a tree that will be truly honored to have this beautiful masterpiece wrapped around it.
Yep, it was a sapling when they started building it.
@@nssherlock4547 You can't blame Nik, the tree wasn't there when he drove the mini here last time
@@nssherlock4547 think it was a seed 😂
I just went back and watched episode one.. and laughed when you guys said, “in a few months when this car is done and on the track....”
Yeah, that was the initial idea, so great.
Love the details, the work ethics, the bracket and this channel has inspired a ton of people as well.
What a great job that is, to motivate others, well done indeed!
@@rjung_ch Binky has been one of my favorite builds to watch over the last 5(?) years... fabrication porn!

@@mikeymasi that means if I built something like that it would take me.... Oh who am I kidding, I'd never finish. 🤣
My daughter will be graduating High School in a couple of months, she was in the 4th grade when this project started. I fear that this video series will outlive several generations. It will be told in whispered voices amongst my great-grandchildren "once there was a car, simple and pure. Now it is more bracket than machine".
Hahaha more bracket then machine. Nice one.
OH GOD OH FUCK

I went from "uhhh Old English, boring" to "that looks fucking stunning" in a pretty short space of time
Aaaand it's the original-ish colour of the car.
"It's fitting that the climax is achieved by hand" Great line!
Any bloke who's been married a while will sympathise with that comment.........
"With a few flicks of his well practiced wrist, the pearl white stripes were done"

That's a gorgeously subtle paint-job. The logo really is like octarine, only visible to the cognoscenti.

@@tantoelauwjeweet Discworld references bruh ;)

Octarine - the colo(u)r of magic, only visible to wizards and cats. As @BoltonLadnScouser

Its like a secret society being a Pratchett reader.
The “ ghost” strips and roof are an amazing touch!
They really are! I've watched that part a few times, and with the hood and rosette parts, I'm still not totally sure how it was achieved.
@@TheM750 Pearls only reflect colour at certain light angles, so they generally disappear when viewed straight on.
I was awestruck.
Michaelangelo took 4 years to paint the Sistine chapel . So Binky is now almost twice as good as the Sistine chapel :-D
Sweet baby Moses it’s been so long, welcome back!
Compared to the time between older episodes this was nothing!
Marty: I repainted my WRX STI
Everyone: Stunning!
Nik: Hold my kettle......
Saying as someone who is colour blind. Painting the whole car purple was the right choice. Well done lads.
🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣
That was the twin's suggestion -
What thay haven't told yee. It glows under UV light!
I just watched through the entire series in the past three days. This episode was the cherry on top. The amount of work you guys have put in to this is absolutely incredible. The paint job is stunning. Can't wait to see it back together.
The legends return!! Inspiring work as always, thank you for bringing us along on the journey!
what about you tom, when will you start another project like the miata?
You’ve been quiet recently Tom, hope you’re ok!
Project Binky is so popular we sit at work during smoko and watch it again together, after watching the new episode at home. 😂
You working on something big tom. Been a while since you done anything. Was worried covid got you
Hope to see you on the screen soon Tom!
I was there Gandalf, 3000 years ago, when the 32nd episode of Project Binky was released.
When this series started I was in grade school. I'm retired now.
Just retired too. Enjoy your free time. I am busier now than when I was working 3 jobs!
First you get TIRED then you get RETIRED then you get tired of being retired and get back to work.

Up and down the nation people were heard to exclaim, 'can't talk now, they're painting Binky!!!!!'
the world*
Several nations. I am a yank.
Aussie here 🇦🇺🦘
Romanian
Nicaragua and I bet no one else in this country watches this.
The way he disconnects the air line from the gun and then walks away from the car tells you how experienced he is 😂
That's an absolute blinder of a paint job, Tony has outdone himself!
I sure hope I'll get to see this car in the metal one fine day, it begs to be ooohed and aaahed at!
a few years ago i would've never guessed i'd be watching a feature length documentary about painting a car... off-white
At first I thought "oh they've gone for beige" 😆
I thought it was more an ivory?
Kinda a yellow hue...or eggshell?
I’m colourblind so I must have missed something. Love your work and love the paint job, but it would have been nice to see a richer, darker colour.
And loving it
I wasnt sure about the color at first but when it was finished: “woooooooow!” Awesome!!!
At first I was disappointed that the color wasn't the white of Death's horse in the Discworld books but after seeing the results...HoooLeeee Shiiiit !!!! I get the feeling that this is one of those objects (not just cars) that you get more appreciative of the skill and workmanship the closer that you look at it. Simply amazing.
I was disappointed when you revealed “Olde English White” but, bloody hell, that came out beautifully, and a great choice of colour in the end, fantastic pearls too, great job indeed 👍🏻
Back when this project started it was just called English White but, you know...
How can you be disappointed? The name of the project is Binky. The only white horse in existence. Milk white.
When this project started, this was called New English white...
The car is called 'Binky'. Anyone who knows the origin of that name would understand - white was the only colour it was ever going to be, otherwise a /lot/ of Discworld fans would be very annoyed.
“And after all the toys that have been used in the lengthy buildup... Its fitting that the climax is achieved by hand” oh man Thats some good writing
these are one of those things that you can say to describe what happened in shed and on the bed
🙇♂️
After all that work, I was astounded at how casually you said "Destined to be wrapped around a tree"!
To be fair, they've been saying that since the begining
@@agentcrm Like a British version of a tibetan sand painting. Pro-tip - sand is cheaper

@@TheRuleBreaker92 The average life expectancy of a man (or two) is too short for another Binky!!
@@TheRuleBreaker92 I'm not sure that their grandchildren will have the patience to finish it.
Just when I thought this project couldn't be any more delayed, you go out and do something like this....
And totally redeem yourself :)
Hi Lloyd XD
although it was Harry would said it right?
That movie, is the only one I know of where every scene has at least one line that you can say out of the blue and anyone who knows anything about that movie will say the next line instantly 😁
I missed it the first two times I watched this: Why no etch primer on the other panels (doors, bonnet, etc.)??
"where is the purple/blue/red/gold?"
A few minutes later
"Oh wow that is stunning"
Great work!
There should be a RUclips award for these kind of projects..... The amount of time,effort, blood, resources, dedication, thought, science, and heart isn’t just your normal every day thing.
Maybe they'd settle for knighthoods for services to entertainment 😃
The show is so much better than any youtube "build" show where they mostly slap on a bunch of parts with no applied engineering.
*Time, Effort, blood, resources, dedication, thought, science, heart and BRACKETS!
Completely agree, this series is a treasure and the lads definitely deserve it.
I now realize I had no slightest idea of just how deep the automotive painting rabbit hole could go.
And it can go a lot deeper than they showed here, too 😁
I work in a automotive paint shop.... once your in the said Rabbit Hole.... there's no way out because its like a whirlpool sucking you down deeper and deeper till you drown in the rainbow
@@aussieausdeutschland4245 holy fuck
Tony's expert usage of The Safety Squint™ is also admirable
Al would be proud.
"Nick doesn't make a bracket" closes chrome window.
I remember when all this started I was young and carefree, now inthe care home watching on my great grandsons laptop computer, my jaw dropped at the wonderful paint job, the nurse wiped away the slobber and I told the story how it all began. They said, "I hope you live to see it finally finished" well we will see 😁
Me: A bit sad they ditched the BRG.
Nick and Rich: Hold my beer...
Me, 20 minutes later: Speechless.
I rather expected the roof to be BRG instead of black. That said the results are magnificent.
@@Vespuchian let’s be real, the boys were never going to disappoint!
30:12 it was at this point in time I was beyond confused as to what was going on, lol. That was such a great idea!!! love it.
I think those newspaper squares might be a little, how do they say it,... "Faked News Print". :)
hello checkmark
Nik: “It might get wrapped around a tree, but I’ll be buggered if that Mini rusts before the tree does.”
That Nik couldn't have said better himself.
Good Lord that pearl effect is absolutely stunning.
Thank you my son. I think so too.
Just out of this world 🤩🤩
It looks like a hologram on the sides and bonnet. I love it 😍
When the etch primer went on, who else was thinking Mr Bean
definitley, would have been a great idea, but the finished product is miles better.
I was kinda hoping for a recliner on the roof.

Damn. That ending shot with all the arches and complete shell is… magnificent.
An exceptional finish. The little touches with your logo in paint are especially impressive. Love it!

3? Are you expecting them to work 2 times faster now?
To those who was not born when this series started, it's back to it's original colour.
How long til one of their friends asks them why it took 7 years just to give it a good wash
@@whyexactly xDDDDD
with improvements
I've binge-watched the entire 33 episodes from start to finish for the FOURTH time since the beginning of the pandemic. This takes almost 2 full days...
Best series on RUclips ever !
The logo is a thing of beauty bravo I knew it wasn’t going to be “just white”
white is possibly the most disappointing colour imaginable, except maybe for black. ive had a few white cars and without question, they always look nicer in a different colour. I cant think of a single car ever made where white is the most flettering colour. Not one.
@@simonlloyd7557 Yeah but there's history in the name. It's named after Death's horse in the Discworld novels. It would be wrong for it to be any colour other than white while keeping the name "Binky"
@@simonlloyd7557 Wheels make a bigger difference on a white car tho. I built a white clubman GT up from scratch decades ago and with gold 13" minilites it turned a lot of heads. I don't own it now, but I've seen recent pics, and it still looks mint 👍
@@simonlloyd7557 you should end all your statements with "in my opinion ",don't you think?Tastes are like assholes, everybody has one,and if you read the comments about 99% of viewers disagree with you. I for one think it looks amazing, disappointing for me would be I WRAPPED MY CAR CHROME PURPLE CAMOUFLAGE WITH BLUE STRIPES AND GREEN WHEELS like you see everywhere on RUclips. I would still paint it British racing green if it was mine though
"and after all the different toys that have been used in the lengthy buildup it's fitting that the climax is achieved by hand" - nice line!
I loved that line, as well!
I really did laugh out loud and so did my wife!
The previous episode was so long ago that during the recap I thought for a moment I missed the previous episode. Might have to watch the whole series again, again
I thought of that too but then I remembered I've already watched them all at least three times.
... actually checked notifications to see if some were missed.
@@joshuarosen6242 only 3?
As each episode gets uploaded, I'm downloading them to put together as one giant video. Im at 12 hours so far and thats just about 13-14 episodes. The only way i'll get to fit it on a Blu-Ray disc, is if I use a BD-MXL disc so that I can burn it to a single disc without needing to split it into two.
Now just to build 2 more, a red one and a blue one 😂 you can then paint escargot red and blue and go for a drive up the mountains.
i've never been this invested in a car build, this is genuinely amazing, the bom logos in the pearl paint are absolutely gorgeous
"...the prep work taking longer than the act, ah those were the days..." hahahaha, i spat out my tea
Hopefully, that's all you spat.
Holy shit the utter class of the logos is unbelievable.

My god, I was expecting those pearl squares to look good, but they are on ANOTHER level, beautiful!! Tony deserves a go in this once it's finally done!!
I still cannot believe its been this many years! I was 13 when I saw the first episode at 21 now I can say how time does fly... This series has wrapped me in dry humor and inspired many of my own building of brackets. Thank you for the years of quality, and perseverance. May binky never truly be more car than bracket.
Took me a few seconds to realise you were going for the ghosted details, I was like "where's the bloody white in tha... ...oh you sneaky buggers!"
Me too
It's sort of encouraging that some things are back to normal in 2021: Binky videos take 4 months, like in the good old days. Welcome back guys :)
😁
Now I've actually seen the colour. I love it, great choice. Brown is a bold choice, but actually looks pretty good.
Nah. Looks shit
I mean, it's very British Leyland...

@@ElQuesoGuapo That made me chuckle 😁
Ist it wrong to have watched this video 4 times already, dam BOM
No, although it might be wrong if you’ve binged the Series more than 4 times though
I can still remember fondly the early episodes forty years ago that were in black and white, awesome that now it’s painted we have colour and hi def cameras so we can truely appreciate the paint job on this mark one mini, which if you include the labour of two amazing engineers, probably cost as much as a Veyron. Jesus I hope they don’t wrap it around a tree!

And also the late Stevie Ray Vaughan in the credits. With him and Double Trouble, you will hardly find a better three piece band.
Actually there has been a tribute Mini built years ago by the late musician Rocky Frisco shown here at www.rockyfrisco.com
He'd have loved it!
When they announced the off white, I was like "Oh god no! It's basically beige!", but man was I wrong. This is fantastic, well executed lads.

That pearl, _especially_ the rosettes, is easily among the best finishes I've seen!
“Wrapped around a tree.” 😂
Can't wait for the Haynes Manual bit - assembly is the reverse of the disassembly...
I thought Nick was going for a Union Jack when he started masking the roof
I wanted to see it! I was guessing something along the lines of masking one out, roughing up the black for the union jack and then putting clear over the lot. Pearl is a much better idea and a masterful way of embedding their makers mark! Well done guys
If they offered that option on the BMW Minis with sunroofs, my sister would've had that option on hers.
@@lukeyj15 I would never have thought of it. It looks amazing
I used to buy automotive paint for one of the big OEM's, and whilst watching this I was just speechless. OMG that's an awesome, and difficult paintjob, and done to a really high level as well. The roof alone is about 5x as many coats of paint as most cars get new, more like you'd find on a super luxury car like a Rolls! Good work gents, and Tony! Bet that added a few kg though...
Holy shi*t The ambidextrous skill of Tony with his spray gun!

"EVIL LAUGH"
WHAT ARE YOU UP TO NIK
I'm suspecting some considerable amount of time will go into reshaping all the mounting holes in a way that they keep their protection against tin worm (they are filled with paint right now).
Then there's the interior, if you look at the amount of detail they put into the paintjob and the fact this is purposed to be a driver and funrally car, I don't think they'll stick with what was there (or left of what was there) and will be applying a crapload of fresh intererior, from matting to possibly some sound deafening rubber coat?
There's so many things they can still do.
@@enlightendbel a 'sound deafening rubber coat' is a most intriguing prospect. I can hear a resounding cackle in the distance....
Sound and vibration dampening, maybe firewall insulation and some heat isolation between the exhaust and rear seats, carpeting, a new dashboard, seat upholstery, a cover for the battery, electric panel and ECM, fire extinguisher mounts and a lot of small details like emblems and seam trims on the outside, handbrake handle, gearshift lever knob, grab handles, etc.
Yaris GR drivetrain....
@@mini_min-e That would be spicy
