This seems like a Binky project all over again with no updates for extended periods. At least this guy isnt milking his community for patreon memberships though

Feel like this car is going the way of Binky

Great video well explained

A square will only work if the tube is cut square

Why you talking in inches, you are not that old,feet and inches do not exist anymore, I use measurements everyday as a Carpenter

Have you got a English wheel, that would help form wheel arches.

235 50 15 are fit 1980's Jags, maybe the Jaguar club racing championship control tyre?

Loving the build so far, got into it after seeing the Allegro, been a long time since I've binge watched anything!

Looks good. I would try it with less wide cill . It doesn't fit the proportions. ie. I wouldn't get so hung up on trying to use the cill to make the car look super low

I agree with you 100%. It is a work of art, an example of master craftsmanship.

There’s a really cool green rover SD1 group 2 car (from the early 80s) with similar skirt profile that has rounder arches that I think could work well on the princess

Loving this build 🙌 Watched few videos on this way back from Johnny's Allegro build, we had a (2.2 i think)bronze Princess, late 70s early 80s loved that car as a kid 😀 sounded nice and went some too.😊 Your fab work is fantastic 👏 👌 you got new Sub. 👍

The fact this only has 16k views is pretty criminal. You've made the best sounding GT3 in the world and the youtube algorithm is keeping it secret.

Hi Adam, I have watched six of these on the bounce. Having done a sympathetic restoration on my MG TF, which I needed to fabricate new rear sections for the sills, I find your engineering and fabricating detail absolutely fascinating! I wouldn't know where to begin! The Allegro project is really cool as well. At least you have a bit more freedom with the Princess. I did body and paint on those when they were relatively new and yes the build quality was really poor. (S...T! to be blunt!) Gary.

Finish something before moving on.

Love these and the Accord Aerodeck of the same era.

Great video. Little bit stumped on purchasing the ice engine works because I only fabricate in 1D and 1.5D. Do you have any ideas on how to work around there strange radius’ they sell?

Very much enjoying this channel. Thank you 😀

Hi mate, really enjoyed watching, and actually been pretty emotional. Have an 83 Mk1 Golf GTI (Mk1Golf Dot co Dot uk) that I've owned for years, always planned to rebuild it with my Dad who was an engineer. But we lost him very unexpectedly and well...been really struggling/become unwell myself. Been gaining a little inspiration from your vids although can't see me ever being able to have the best car I ever owned on the road again. 😢 My actual fave car of all time is the Manta 400, and between watching the last episode and this one I was wondering if the 400 body kit could have been utilised, nice wide round rear arches, sills and tapering front wings. It's looking great now anyway, I think the round style rears are much better suited to the princess. Cheers, and all the best.

TOO MUCH WORK.. GONNA BUY A MACHINE THAT DOES ALL THAT FOR ME..

Salut my friend super car super video subscribe subscribe 👌👌

How do i subscribe to patreon?

Knowing how fussy you are, it must be hard not to go for a full resto? I purchased a do'er upper, started to collect panels, then whilst poking around with a screwdriver, decided i'm gonna be chasing rust for the rest of its life . . . Bit the bullet, bought a new shell!

I love the two tone colour scheme and the wheels.

35 minutes I’ve listen to you beat on and you could have started it, bs

Hi Adam, definitely want to see you work on your Mini Project. Awesome

I love a classic Mini! Can't wait to see more of this.

Another great episode,keep up the great work

It's not project binky, it's on the back burner binky

Ohhhh a new you tube build this’ll be a good one if your other works anything to go by 👍

Poor Allegro. "Here, hold the parts of the project thays obviously going to happen faster than you!"

I understand if the engine choice has already been decided but if not have a look at Nissan micra cg13de conversions, they won't set the world on fire but they fit in an unmodified body and develop decent power straight out of the box for much less $ than modifying the A series. I've done the conversion and I'm delighted with it, for someone with your fab skills it'd be a piece of cake, you could also turbo it if required although room would start to get tight. PS: don't get put off by published engine hp figures the standard engine is choked down by both inlet and exhaust manifolds which need to change anyway.

Too much math 🙉

Princess?

I saw a mini custom build the other day with the front bonnet/lights/bumper etc, all cut off and made into a full front tipper in order to put a bigger engine in. It may have even come completely off the front to gain full access

Interesting build, looking forward to it. Also, well done for wearing decent PPE. Rare in you tube.

You can get inner / outer sills sections which are a complete section and it also goes into the front floor pan section. You can get them from Darlington.

Perhaps straightening out the original boot floor would have been easier and still stronger than gluing in a carbon panel and a 'rotisserie' pole through the speedometer hole and the matching hole behind the rear seat back would make the restoration of the floor a more pleasant endeavour?

Want to see the Princess build...

What is the top speed? 🚙 😩

It’s great seeing 40 yr old cars being restored and definitely have a soft spot for Mini’s…. It’s a great shame that this will no longer be a thing as no one will ever restore an EV in 40yrs time…..they will be thrown away 😢

Never had a Mini, but this was still a great watch. I look forward to future instalments. Time-lapse or "rambling chat": it's all good!

The rear door - perfect!

Looking forward to seeing how this comes together. Please don't let it be a Binky!!! 🤣

This gonn need a jig

Nice to see Matt/Urchfab’s panels getting a plug.

looking forward to following the build on this. Shell looks pretty solid. Unusual the O/S sill is worse the the N/S which is the side in the water at the side of the road. You might remember my car, I parked next to you guys in the Late Brake section at Retro Rides Gathering last year.

Were you ever tempted to delete the back seat and move the bulkhead and the front seats backwards into the interior, like an MX5? I'm just thinking about how to give the engine some space.
