Ive Watched them all and its a really interesting and clever project - Doesnt look once like a corner has been cut - serious metal work going on , Cant wait until they start buildint the running gear into it

 

[TaMrLb]

excellent vids and top blokes

looks like a complicated build to say the least, but the end result is going to be something very special

One of the best projects on the go in the world at the moment I reckon in terms of just being an awesome watch with a good bit of humour and some really seriously awesome bits of engineering and best of all a very good project (gt4 mini) in the first place.

Ami right in thinking that its going to be a fully trimmed road car - without a cage when its done ??

Currently they say no cage, but they welded in the cage spreader plates just in case they change their minds.

 

[Stu172cup]

Oh Yeah i remember that part.

be great seeing it build to a strength to support the running gear without assitance from a cage

They certainly seem to have done a really job so far of adding plenty of strength, but I suspect without something substantial going over the top as well its going to always be a compromise, no matter how much extra strenth they put in lower down its still going to want to fold in the middle without something across the top too.

 

[Stu172cup]

Yeah bit like a box with the top cut off

and the mini doesnt have the most substantial of roof posts

Yeah exactly.
On the convertible minis they did put some extra metal into the A pillar, but its size really restricts you, I think a cage would be a good idea, but I can see why if its a road car they dont want it.

There's only 1 thing I hate about this, after watching the 1st 5 episodes 1 after the other, the wait for the 6th annoyed the hell out of me & the wait for the next installment is killing me lol!

Yeah, I kind of wished I didnt find out about it till like 2017 or whenever it is they finish, lol.

 

[celicaturbolly]

Love the series, hate having to wait for more content

 

[Chip-mk1]

shame there isnt a TV program done in a similar way really, all the car resto or modifying stuff tends to try too hard to be exciting and end up losing all the really good details that I find interesting as part of that, but I suppose its a bit of a niche market to appeal to the real petrol heads.

 

[Martin.]

Awesome videos. Just watched all 6 (busy day at work)

Can't wait to see the next now.

 

[Chip-mk1]

Can't wait to see the next now.

Really good to watch, I wish we had a tv show like this that actually went into this much depth.

It's something I wish I had the knowledge/time/space/money and everything else required to do

 

[DannyR]

Exactly that, just showing the processes is awesome to watch!

 

[Stu172cup]

The boat that guy built was a good watch

 

[nevillemaycry3]

[Djw John]

Really enjoying this, mega geeky but really interesting. Wish I could fabricate to a tenth of the standard!

 

[welshname]

Just watched it start to finish. Great project

 

[Rubicon_]

Really enjoyed that, the fabrication work drags on a bit but cool to see.
