Full Size Jeep Network

Thank God LOL

More engine work but again it is entertaining and the attention to detail is impressive as always. Richard says in the video something like "You can just bolt on aftermarket parts, you have to take a holistic approach".

Like they said they could have had the whole thing built in a couple of months if they hadn't paid attention to all the details like electric windows, door locks, side impact stereo system, all the body work, seats, electrical... What is truly amazing is how far ahead they were thinking, grounding points welded in 5 years ago just being used now. Richard admitting he did the head work 2 years ago

No doubt. They thought a lot of things ahead (but also admit when they got caught off guard). It really is an amazing build. It' won't be 'the fastest' mini or even 'the best handling' but goodness, it is probably the coolest overall.

I do 'worry' about all of the electronics but Richard seems to be doing a proper job. Having the right crimping tools is key, especially with that many connectors.

Agreed on the crimper, I bought a supposedly nice crimper... but it is worthless , i can pull the wires off, even with all the possibilities... OK it does spark plug wires!

x2 on importance of good crimper! I usually prefer ratcheting style crimpers as they require less force (I couldn't use some of my non-ratcheting ones after I had my hand injury) and usually get you a better crimp. Having properly shaped dies is also important.

Sometimes you can save a bad crimp by soldering it a bit, but gets old pretty quick if you have a lot of them.

Wish I would have seen this thread when it started five years ago. I only recently "found" Project Binky. Pretty much binged 30 episodes in about a week (thanks Covid-19).
Have been sharing it with friends, warning them they better have their chores done because the boys from Shropshire will be taking all your time for a while;-)

Finally! Absolutely amazing and I realized that I forgot what they were doing with the engine in the previous episodes. Good excuse to rewatch them

oh my, I think I just found a series that will cost me the rest of the weekend..

I rewatched episode 1 after watching the latest. So funny to see Binky in its beginning condition.

It's hard to believe it has been so long, but then look at what they have done!

the escargot is a hoot too.... it could have been cheaper to stay in local hotels and put blinky on a trailer...
