If you've been watching Mighty Car Mods you'll recognise some faces
Well maybe not alternatives, but things to watch between episodes?
I found this series , its probably the first one I've found that I've
watched more than one episode back to back in a while. Ok its basically just an engine swap but I get very bored working permanent nights, and if you
skip the first 5 minutes of each episode I haven't found it anywhere as near annoying as most of the american stuff out there.
Anyone else found stuff worth watching? Obviously I've exausted most of the tv shows wheeler dealers etc
Oh and I think they've done one about turbo'ng an mx5 that might interest afew on here

I don't have access to youtube at work, so can't send you the link, but if you search for V8 stealth beetle, you should find a great series
on a guy based in Cape Town who builds a V8 into a standard beetle body, quality of the design and engineering is excellent. This series is 2nd to
Binky in my opinion.
I will edit this post later with an actual link.
ETA here is the link
V8 Stealth Beetle Linker
The kits are available for $18,500.

Have a watch of Retropower's mk1 escort build for Gordon Murray.

There's 9 episodes and things are nearly wrapped up, so probably a few more to come.
Also search for colinfurze on youtube - engineering and entertaining in equal amounts.

Thanks for all the suggestions,I'll bookmark this post for myself.
I'll just add that I got all the way through to episode 11 lastnight in work,and once the guys mate turned up in the later shows I did find it a
little childish!,and the shamless plugs for their ecu supplier..... but found the ecu big interesting even with the name dropping
Obfipper I've been onto retropower for a while,partly because they built my mates chevette and partly because you can't have missed it if
your into your cars.

Skid Factory is a youtube channel where they fit turbos/engine swaps etc.

SOUP Classic Motoring (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCl9I7RgD0i7JZ58CK17kKHQ)
You have an Irish guy trying to restore a Lotus Esprit, a Range Rover and doing a few other things. All on a shoe string.
Definitely not the engineering quality of Binky, but entertaining none the less. The filming is very good.
If you want something a bit different try https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCworsKCR-Sx6R6-BnIjS2MA very relaxing to watch.

Yup. Clickspring is great if a slow poster!
I'm liking Acorn to Arabella - its building, just not a car!!!
Tom's turbo garage
Especially his V8 Chevy mx5 conversion

I am totally in awe of Clickspring...
[Edited on 5/1/19 by David Jenkins]
I've just been watching the clickspring series on the Antikythera Mechanisum...... absolutely the best thing I've seen on youtube.
If I'd seen this back in 1985 when I was 16 I would have been a clockmaker for sure.
Quality of his work and the filming/editing is stunning.
Also watched his big wheel skeleton clock series.
Thanks to monkeyarms for posting that one.
some of the 'hubnut' stuff is good - recommissioning a reliant fox, plus his 2cv, and a skoda... oh and his 'invacar' an old
invalid carriage
real down to earth 'amateur' mechanics, but he (and his wife! ) get a lot done
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AltA963bNb4
he also does reviews etc.

At first you think "what a twit with no plans, having to keep changing stuff" ... then you start to see him fabricate.. then realise that
the lathe he is using - he built it, using a grinder and a drill press

'B is for Build' is entertaining. Workmanship can be a bit rough at times but he's slowly changing his ways as he learns.
Not afraid to take on a big project like rebuilding an Evora (that over here, would've been crushed), scratch build a Datsun 240z with an M5
engine and currently rebuilding a Hurracan (ditto the evora) with a 1500 bhp V8 and manual transmission and carbon fibre bodywork.
