      You can’t just turn off a fisheye. It’s either an 8mm or 10.5mm Lens. But yeah switching it up would be good but it’s also easy to just point and shoot with a fisheye.. harder to frame shots without

    • @niallkeane3794
      @niallkeane3794 5 лет назад +1

      Come on g it’s his trade mark thing not really seen many other people do it and it gives the videos a more custom and personal feel to it and in a good way it makes it worse to make it seem more home made and original

  • @Vandal-Vlogs
    @Vandal-Vlogs 5 лет назад

    Not sure if this has been mentioned already but when you do the front bumper you need a jack to support the engine! The bumper bolts also fix the front cross member to the chassis which the front engine mount is sat on. I learnt this the hard way when i almost crushed my head.

      @NITRO20001106 5 лет назад

      @Baileys Miata no need to attack people for their opinion man, just said that imo its the best looking on a MK2. When they're banded, spray painted, with some meaty tires, they look great. kinda racecar like.

Over the years you've definitely changed, grown up, but you could always tell something wasn't quite right. Your videos since you've gotten back in to cars and mountain bikes really seems like the real you, you seem happier and the quality of your videos show that. The VW community is here for you!

    @TazjukieGaming 5 лет назад +1

    Harry next time you jack it up. Put the stands further in, like on the frame rails where it is stronger. Where your putting it now is eh, but you could end up crumpling that area. I’d personally put it further in to be safe.

    ANOTHER SICK VIDEO!!! I would definitely get that made into a workshop before doing anymore major mods.. Get the work bench setup. I would also invest in a decent sized toolbox and fill it with everything you need then you won't be looking for sockets. Grab some metal shelving as well to store all your parts instead of keeping boxes etc!
