Bad Obsession Motorsport - Project Binky (2013)
In the first episode of Project Binky, we take a rotten old Austin Mini and strip it down to a bare shell. We then take an angle grinder to it and cut it to pieces. It's only then that the customised rebuilding process starts. We're trying to create one of the fastest Minis on the planet. We're going to rebuild it with the engine and running gear from a Toyota Celica ST185 GT4. Or at least that's the plan. Whether it comes off or not is another matter. We're filming this as it happens so what you see is only a few weeks behind where we're actually at so we're not sure yet whether we can do it. That's kind of the fun though. Stick with us through the highs and the lows of the project. Hopefully it'll be worth the agony and cash. Feel free to share it far and wide!

1x1 - A Case of Tinworm
August 17, 2013
We're trying to create one of the fastest Minis on the planet. We're going to rebuild it with the engine and running gear from a Toyota Celica ST185 GT4. Or at least that's the plan.

That's kind of the fun though.
1x2 - Strutting Your Stuff
October 18, 2013
In the 2nd episode of Project Binky, we start to get down to the nitty gritty of the build. We strip out the front bulkhead, make all new suspension mounting points and drink a lot of tea. We also travel to Goodwood for a cheeky track day. The project to fit all of the running gear from a Toyota Celica ST185 GT-Four into a Mini 1000 without widening or lengthening it, really starts to take shape. There'll be more by Christmas 2013 we hope, so please subscribe to our channel to get all the updates. Thanks for watching, we hope you enjoy our escapades. Feel free to share it far and wide!
1x3 - Stop! Hammer Time
December 24, 2013
Project Binky: A Toyota Celica GT-Four engine, gearbox and running gear is being shoe-horned into a 1980 Mini 1000.

We very much hope you enjoy watching. Please subscribe to our channel to receive regular updates! Thanks for watching!
1x4 - Light at the End of the Tunnel
February 19, 2014

Yes it's taken a long time, but episode 9 is finally here. The shell is complete along with a few extra flourishes. We start on the interior and the BOM family grows by two. Oh, and Nik gets a haircut. Follow the madness of the project trying to build one of the world's fastest Mini's.
1x10 - A Substantial Gift
July 31, 2015

1x14 - The Overarching Solution
November 25, 2016
In episode 14 of Project Binky, we crack on with figuring out the arches, not helped by a faulty part. We come up with a new technology - LRP - and we start to plumb the fuel lines in. There's most of the usual stuff including tea obviously! Thanks for watching, we hope you enjoy it!
1x15 - Bro's Before Hose
May 17, 2017

1x17 - A Suffusion of Yellow
October 14, 2017
In episode 17 of Project Binky, we get down and dirty with finishing off the custom HVAC unit for the Mini. It's a long and involved process that took far more time than we possibly imagined, but now it's done we move on to fix some other drawbacks of the mini in modern day motoring.
1x18 - Greeks Bearing Gifts
August 1, 2018
In episode 18 of Project Binky, we wrestle with the wiper system, add another superfluous modification, tackle some trigonometry and sort of start on the electrical system. It's all systems go in the continuing effort to build one of the world's fastest Mini's.

1x20 - Lights at the End of the Tunnel
November 1, 2018
In episode 20 of Project Binky, we continue working on the mini's electrical system and solve (we hope) the ancillary drive conundrum. There's an unbelievable amount of work in this one, far too much to show in one 30 minute episode without killing it dead, so there'll be an additional machining video out in a couple of weeks for anyone who'd like to see more of the detail in the latter part of this episode. It's all systems go in the continuing effort to build one of the world's fastest Mini's.
1x21 - The Consolation Prize

1x32 - A Bird in the Hand
June 20, 2020

1x34 - A Sticky Situation
April 24, 2021

August 7, 2021
