Check out project Blinky! AWD gt4celica in a mini & the engineering is insane The Pom that owns & built it is a nutter! Shows pretty funny at times too 😅

[@blueblood5297]

Great interview what a awesome car love it

[@nelsonmikelsamy-895]

What is the colour code for the mini its looks so beautiful

[@Itsrianrobertson]

And he drives Like a granny 😂.......fkn put the foot down and let us hear and see it properly

[@young11984]

That engineer is as proud of this build as the owner, he got to see the progress and verify it was done legit too.

[@ChristopherHallett]

That's the thing about engineers - they're typically car enthusiasts too, and if you come to them with a good idea and aren't a fucking dickhead, they will work with you to help you get the vehicle built and on the road.

Smart straight to the point coherent Talented guy. Killer build

[@TheCluelessEnthusiast]

This guy is talented. I can't imagine there being many people that could build a rear engined mini and pass engineers in any aussie state. Awesome car

[@marcmann982]

" the statement this is probably one of the wildest minis in Australia" Is an understatement.. This is probably one of wildest minis in the world for sure

[@ametti000]

Very humble builder. He's done an amazing job.

[@lodestone69]

I cant say anything better than all the praise youve received in the previous comments, but sensational build. You should be proud of yourself!

[@stephenmacdonald6305]

Looks fantastic and workmanship looks very high end . Well done to all involved in the build 👏

[@mistacoz]

Aussie and Kiwi garage based car and bike builders… Everytime I see one of their creations it looks factory and the owner is humble AF 🙌

[@masterbeernuts9344]

Very impressive. What a knowledgeable dude. Paint n wheels n wide-body look great! Well done mate, really well done.

[@masterbeernuts9344]

Love the halo lights. Perfect.

[@DashcamAdelaide]

Two rally legends have been combined into one. This just goes to show that it is possible to take a car that is already guaranteed to put a smile on ya dial and have it put an even bigger smile on ya dial. My dream car is a MINI

[@Rhythmattica]

Art within art , a car within a car..... No Remorse..... Nice Build.

[@Ivantatarovic]

Ive watched a lot of these stories over the years and usually you get the idea a skip forward quite a bit, this one though is the first story i watched from start to finish, hats off to the guy, his engineer and you guys for showing us this build.

[@DutchysGarage]

Thanks mate. Glad you enjoyed it.

[@benjaminrogers9848]

This was the coolest build at this years WTAC. Props to the builder!

[@jethrox827]

Getting this engineered with Australian bs legislation was probably the equivalent of building the harbour bridge

[@ThienTran-vq8kp]

The build took a few weeks and the certification took 2.5years?

[@fredericoespinoza]

@@ThienTran-vq8kp flip what you said, build 2,5 years, cert few weeks

[@timothydraper6626]

It's BS legislation until something poorly engineered causes a crash on the roads mate, there's engineers in my family and it's important to do things right.

[@RoaRingmutZ]

This is unreal, what an absoulte legend!

Yeah i had the best thing seeing this Saturday at a local car meet this is by far one of my favourite car and so difficult

[@Joshi069]

A true masterpiece.

[@snakepliskin2297]

I don't think people from other countries understand how hard it is to make this car legal in Victoria. This ain't Texas, if police see you with aftermarket air filters on they give you a hard time lol. Absolute bonkers car. Well done man it's killer

100%. If our regulations were more relaxed then I’d build a few more.

Sitting in front of the engine and behind the gas tank, it's totally a death trap. I love it.

[@marcodebortoli]

I mean it's the same setup as a Porsche so all good I'd say :)

Great build Credit to the owner. Very talented. Looks and sounds great 👍

[@turbostyler]

That's fricken awesome. Not my cup of tea in terms of the car, but the engineering, body work, and just general well thought out ideas are exactly my cup of tea! Bravo!

[@DutchysGarage]

That’s my thoughts. I don’t have to necessarily like the car to appreciate the engineering and effort gone into a build.

[@joshbrookes6439]

I cannot express just how trippy it is to be kicking back relaxing watching your favourite YT channels latest episode when suddenly you see your own backyard and familiar roads you drive every day in the video! Tell me I'm wrong - Static shots were out the back of Adairs Warehouse Staff Carpark End of Elmdon Rd Caribbean Gardens Scoresby. Twisty Road test was on Stintons / Falconer Rd Park Orchards yep? 😊

[@mahcooharper9577]

Proper custom street machine there, that's amazing. I wouldnt have done it but I love the craftsmanship. Huge effort, well done. And it took less than a decade unlike Binky! Speaking of which, would loce to see this have a go against Binky!

Got to see the car at Optima Ultimate Street Car at Calder Park today. Didn't get to congratulate the owner there so giving props here. This thing is an engineering wonder. So clean and intelligently thought out. Congrats to you and your Engineer. Hope you enjoyed your day on the track.

[@scotstewart4011]

Dam that’s amazing. I don’t know why , but I’m blown away By how “factory” the roof looks.

[@curtismajeskie3419]

Im not gonna lie this is my dream right here and someone made it a reality. I loved my mini while it was working. I had a 2016 with its notorious coolant management problems. Then before I could fix it I got tboned and the car was totalled. Now I got my hands on a 23 wrx and I love it, but it would be nice in a smaller car. The wrx is pretty big now.

[@Skiridr22]

What an amazing build, the fabrication on the chase and the bodywork just blew me away

[@sidbobby3233]

What a epic little car with original thinking and out side the box thinking (pun not intended). Defo more interesting than another v-tec. Nicely done & in his own garage. 😎😎👊👊👍👍✌✌👌👌 massive respect 4 this frm the UK 😎😎

[@Mark-oc4ci]

What a skilled person he is and a lovely mini

[@jimbodee4043]

Great end product, seemed very professional.

[@RobertKarlBerta]

Back in the 1970's I met a fellow that had a two engine/four wheel drive MINI. He removed the roof and replaced it with a toneau like cover. He had a center stack on the dash that had duplicate instruments. The frame was beefed up to deal with the additional weight. It used two S engines but don't know at what state of tune. He ran on the streets and also auto cross events. I suspect that the weight of the extra engine was a detriment but it was impressively quick...even in autocrosses. I would think this mid/engine version would be a lot better balanced and seemed to handle well in this video. A modern Subaru boxer engine would put out as much HP as the other two engines also.

[@wrxboi80]

[@classicminidiy]

Super impressive work and bravo to the builder. He did an amazing job and seems like a really nice genuine guy. Would love to take this for a spin!!

[@Mr_INTP]

Dude is 6 feet plus and by the looks of it, his knee caps are almost on his chest and he says, "it's not that bad". Get into a accident and kiss both of those knees goodbye. I could only imagine the pain driving to PERTH. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 These Aussies are too funny, if they want something bad enough they will suffer even if it means leg cramps and poor circulation as a result of driving in a sardine can. I should know, I'm married to one. That is 17 years of bliss (Sarcasm) but really she's not that bad, just a little aggressive at time. Nice build mates, very impressive.

[@bighomieJ5X]

[@damienwalker1026]

This would have been a great build series. someone who knew what he wanted and with the skills to carry it out. Very nice.

[@petergracemeguide1280]

Neat toy. Appreciate the fabrication. I saw a dude in the Adelaide hills who came in the servo in a moke it looked slightly different sounded evo ish . Curiosity got the better of me it had a 4g97 turbo gsr lancer awd shoehorned in . Like this mini these guys are modern hotroders in the truest sense. I know many and marval at the creativity

[@honestreviewer3283]

Beautiful work! Besides the obvious, I really love how you used the R50 roof/sunroof. Looks super clean and adds a touch of luxury. So many of these conversions are loud and uncomfortable, but yours is nice inside. Really great job.

Fantastic video. Incredible build that I've enjoyed seeing locally, and I just love hearing from any single person who has gone through such a thorough job on a car on their own... knowing exactly what is where in every inch of the car and how it was figured out and made to fit. A very deserving feature.

[@stevehatzistefanou5292]

Top notch build Steve..well done!

[@grantatkinson4570]

As a subaru fan and owner gotta love this one

[@glenjones6980]

Not usually a fan of big wheels and low pro tyres or turbo nutter injected engines bolted to vintage vehicles but this one is done right Seen a couple on another channel and I really like them. . You can tell it's not stock but it's still has all the essential Mini character that makes you smile.

[@dereklumb7707]
