    If you have not checked out Bad Obsession Motorsports "Project Binky" yet and you enjoy some British humor and watching some amazing automotive fabrication then check this out:

    And a link to their YouTube channel:

    The project does involve a Toyota. Here is a description off their web site of what they are trying to do:

    "We’re trying to create one of the fastest Minis on the planet. We’re going to rebuild it with the engine and running gear from a Toyota Celica ST185 GT-4. Or at least that’s the plan. Whether it comes off or not is another matter. We’re filming this as it happens so what you see is only a few weeks behind where we’re actually at so we’re not sure yet whether we can do it. That’s kind of the fun though. Stick with us through the highs and the lows of the project. Hopefully it’ll be worth the agony and cash."

    Check it out! Right now as of this posting they have 21 different episodes that are about 20-35 minutes in length. Enjoy!

    I want to second this post. This is one of the greatest Youtube car build series ever. If you ever thought "Jeez if I built that bracket it would take hours. Guess I have to leave it to the pros." then watch this cause the pros take hours too, and you really get to see what's involved.

    The entire video series is a lesson in “How to do it right!”.
