A mad, bad Mini project

This build is truly fantastic. Top fabrication skill and engineering guys. I am really hoping that the mini turns out fairly 'normal' looking at the end, and all credit to keeping a normal length round nose on it. Just one question in my mind, what are you going to do with the radiator?
Thanks very much. :-)In truth, the radiators are a source of much discussion and thought. It's gonna be tight....

1) The parcel shelf was just rust free enough to keep. Plus there will be speakers going in as we both love some banging tunes. It won't look like it does now though, have no fear.
2) The difficulty in welding 2 different thicknesses together mean it's safer and faster just to get on with it.
3) We do have a bead roller, but as everything is bespoke and we don't know exactly where we're going to have to cut more holes in stuff, it seemed silly to put them in only to have to cut through them later on.

Radiator placement. Ha! The number one question we get asked. You'll just have to wait and see. Won't be too long now though....
Thanks everyone for the fantastic comments and your continued support!

I'm sure someone has asked before, so sorry to repeat the question, but what are the back tales of you guys?
One in video editting or just a hobby?
Designing the jig must have been through various projects. What pays the bills, general mechanics or the modification scene?
The Q&A session on our channel will answer some of your questions. Nik works in the motor trade and I work in the motorsport industry. We both have full time jobs, so this is a weekend only project. Absolutely no video editing/production experience whatsoever going into the build, so we're making it up as we go along. One in video editting or just a hobby?

Another great video! Thanks for making the effort.
Was the comment at the start about sexist remarks relating to Nik's wife (or is she your wife? I can't remember) serious? I hope not but I found it hard to tell...
Thanks for all the kind comments guys! Was the comment at the start about sexist remarks relating to Nik's wife (or is she your wife? I can't remember) serious? I hope not but I found it hard to tell...
Regarding Nik's remarks, he wasn't serious; one of the most amazing things about this whole experience is how fantastically supportive and positive the comments are, especially on our YouTube channel. It can often degenerate into a massive s
t fight. That whole sequence was just a way to shoehorn the 'head' gag in. Nothing more sinister than that! I kinda wish you could have all seen Sarah's face the first time I showed her the finished video.... ;-)Quick update:
Hoping to have the next episode out around Christmas time. We'll know a bit more after this weekend, lots to do. In the meantime, we've set up a Patreon page. This allows any of you to become a patron of Bad Obsession Motorsport. Essentially it's a tool for you to be able to give us your money... There's no obligation whatsoever; we'll still be building Binky and bringing you episodes as fast as we can, all on YouTube and all without ads and not behind a pay-wall.
If you would like to contribute and help us out with the enormous cost of tea and biscuits, then we'd be delighted. If not, it's absolutely no problem.
We've got our eyes on a very special project for series 2 and we're hoping that Patreon will assist us to produce that series so much faster.
If you'd like to take a look at our Patreon page to see what it's all about then here's the link: http://www.patreon.com/badobsessionmotorsport
