Seconding Bad Obsession. Not only is their build quality outstanding, their video production efforts are top notch. Their dedication to the concept and execution of Project Binky is nothing short of amazing.

I got a little less interested in the videos once they got to the trimming out the car part. I liked when they were building the car and were doing (what seems to me) like excellent work. then they got to the dashboard and it became what ever goes. like the dashboard clock in the latest video...

I feel like some of that wonkiness (like the ridiculous clock) has to do with their drive to keep the car's feel as "80s Mini" as possible.

He's very Dutch indeed. His English is also full of dutch-isms that maybe only dutch people recognize. I'm Dutch, but live in Canada. Watching his videos make me miss my home country.
A recommendation of mine is Bad Obsession Motorsport. Two men in a shed put a Celica engine in an Austin Mini. So far it's taken 12 years and 41 episodes. Some astonishing engineering going there.
If you're into cars, I'll also recommend "driving 4 answers". Very well researched and presented videos about engine technology.
