Maybe the contrast is deliberate for visibility when stuff is covered in goo?

I don't know, I thought the grey was a good color. Being neutral and such. Good thing he didn't go for the candy apple pink. Also the grey color may be a hint to the body color?

It’s quite possible.
I think looking at that green and grey mess under it, we should prepare ourselves for an equally bad choice of paint and interior colors. Just because the man has fab skills, don’t mean he has good taste! |

I wouldn't have made it glossy, but like Sid says, we probably ought to prepare for an underwhelming third act...

For some reason, Matt Farah rubs me the wrong way, and his friend building 500hp Super Coopers gives me the same vibe.
Jealousy, probably, but nonetheless, notafan.

A agree. Matt is an arrogant arse and he's a blowhard!
I loath people like that.

Farrah is a bozo who just spews automotive cliches he reads online.
Never seen a single original thought emerge from his useless piehole

They must have Binky up and running. I'll have to watch. Also if you can get over Matt being Matt...
https://youtu.be/Gp4jpZNj1Wk?t=50 I guess I like to think about things that are within the realm of reality. While nobody can argue with the craftsmanship of Binky and its creators, it's pure unobtanium.

Great episode. They totally fooled me about not running a turbo. Loved the tie-in with the Aussie dudes (Skid Factory). Nice to see a well documented engine build done to high standards.

The "additional" head gaskets was a give away

Break out the show-spanners, it's time for another episode of Project Binky. In colour!

I love what these guys are doing and have watched a bunch of their videos because they are educational and entertaining, but I've lost a little interest. I find I now fastforward through some of the videos and I'm not watching every one. I'd ready for the darn thing to be running and moving under it's own power.
