      Just had a look at some of your vids mate. They are solid, keep at it. I'm similar, I put what I consider is a fair bit of effort into my videos.
      But MCM are just in a league of their own, these guys are deep diving generations of cars to understand the history, they are mixing and mastering songs to suit videos, their post production is something you'd expect from a short film festival entrant.
      Honestly most viewers probably don't even grasp the time and effort in these videos..
      ..they just know they look dope 😅

The bond between a man and his car and the friendships and relationships that come from owning that car is truly what the enthusiast community is about! Its not making the most power or driving as fast as possible or even showing off, it's about what that lump if engineered metal (or scrap) can be and how the process if growing with it makes you feel. Thanks for the amazing videos, keep em coming

    I keep rewatching this build series because it inspires me with my AE86 build. It's old, Japanese, rusty yet has so much potential. I have learnt so much from this build series and it's reassuring to know that the path is the same for those who are building a car to this extent. It also gives me hope knowing that if we keep chipping away at it, it will flourish into something great, especially if your car is in pieces and you question whether if it was all worth it. Thank you MCM and Thank you Mira for being so transparent and realistic about what it is like to build/restore a car. Congratulations on the result!

    It took me 8 years to restore my 1967 El Camino by myself, I replaced 2 quarter panels, rear window sheet metal, both drip rails the upper dash and the whole front clip plus rebuilding the rest of the frame and drive train. During this time I was a long haul truck driver, I left my house Saturday morning and got home Wednesday afternoon every week and took a whole 4 days off for Thanksgiving and X-mas. I Drove a Geo Metro (Suzuki Swift) back and forth from the yard 80 miles away. When you find that one car its amazing the sacrifices you will go through to get her done. Congrats Marty, Enjoy!

There is no rhyme or reason why we fall in love with our cars but at least your friend, as well as other real car people, understand and respect the attachment. Also proves you don’t need 1000 horsepower to enjoy a car you can drive anywhere and anytime or even every day. We all know our cars are never “finished” so looking forward to what’s next on the Mira!

The only reason to not learn how to fix cars is if you are too disabled to try, I just got my Mazda 323 GLXI through another MOT by replacing a couple of brake pipes, the lower ball joints on the front suspension and paying the garage to weld up the sill ends. All it takes is time and maybe a haynes manual to get you started.

    Well done! I have loved watching this run its course. From Marty jumping for joy the first time, to the surprise when he found out it wasn’t crushed it was imported. To putting the project together and watching all the finishing. Simply awesome!

    Feels. I'm five years deep in my own project and there's been so many times it's seemed helpless. But it is nearly ready to drive now. These projects tend to be emotional rollercoasters but be important thing is to never give up and see them through to the end. The payoff is amazing. So happy for Marty right now.

    Video brought a tear to my eye and I say that with zero shame. THIS is what it's all about, right here. THIS is what it means to be an enthusiast. It's not about bench racing and forums and bullshit. It's about understanding that transcending connection between a person and a machine after 100's of hours of combined life experience. I've been an MCM fan/subscriber literally from the beginning and these 12 minutes and 25 seconds are your greatest work, hands down. Marty, congratulations. You've earned every bit of enjoyment you get with from that car.

    11:10 - I love how philosophical Moog gets. Where Marty was talking about how worthless the car would be to someone else if he was to sell it, Moog's like "but think about how much you put into it - and how valuable is it to YOU?"

    I love the connection to the Mira, I don’t think people appreciate the importance of a car to some people. I remember my 98’ Corsa. I put 2 Cobra Daytona Bucket seats into the front. Flip down tv and rims and a trunk full of subs. Had it 4 years and I grew to love it. Hard to say goodbye to something you’ve cared for for such a long time.
