Project Binky
Watch this and enjoy, these guys are masters at fabrication and anticipating problems before they get to them. The jigging to set the car up is superb and a lesson to all.

Woo Hoo. I've been waiting for this as well.
It's good to see they're not rushing it. They've been building this for nearly four years. Really enjoy watching it though.

You do wonder, especially looking at the earlier episodes where they do the body repairs, whether any of the original car is left.
It's a good series for anyone looking to repair a rusty vehicle (been there, enjoyed it more in hindsight than at the time)

I get the impression it was started to publicise their business and as it has grown the Mini has become a bit of a problem.

I have just watched the last episode of Project Binky for the second time and shake my head in wonder at the level of workmanship involved and the time devoted to getting everything just right and it is going to be a shame to see this car blasting down a dirt road after all this.
BTW here is another resto somewhat along the same lines, weird motor in a car that it was never intended to go in and looking near enough standard at the finish. It is a pictorial series on restoring a Model A sedan and putting a Twin Cam Sierra motor and gearbox in it.
Stunning work is the least that can be said about it.
Pictorial series of build: 1929 Ford Model-A - MAT
A write up of it: Modernized Ford 1929 Model A Touring Car - Hot Rod Network
A not very good video:
Enjoy!CHRIS

I reckon they are having a lend of us - ceramic is a reasonable thermal insulator so should not need as many amps as they have dialed up.

Yes, you could be right about that.
I can't find any ceramic welding rods on EBay.

Oh ye of little faith!
It reminds me of an article I read in a staid and well regarded British magazine dedicated to railway maintenance some years ago. It described in detail how a new process which would eliminate separate rail fastenings by welding the rails directly onto prestressed concrete sleepers would reduce ongoing maintenance costs and provide a better track running surface for a smoother ride. I wonder if it was a related technology?
Strangely enough, I never heard of any further development of the system for future use, despite its claimed advantages.
The issue date of the magazine was 1st April of the year in question.
Frank.
