My dream is to one day work with a film props studio like Weta Workshop for some cool cyberpunk take on the original Fast and Furious / Wangan midnight, that would just be awesome.
Imagine being so good at bodywork that you can recreate part of a famous body kit from scratch just from pictures. That's the work of a master craftsman.
Adding the Logo just makes it Legit AF, Been following your work for a while its definitely inspiring, this channel is part of the reason i got into a body tech apprentice job, learn the fundamentals to bondo and body work and then do cool shit like this!
And for the end scene he exclusively ordered the usual every video heavy rain… this time not only to be heard on the roof but also to be seen on the car … 😂 Watching from Germany 🇩🇪, my biggest respect! It’s pure joy to see what you dream and achieve with your cars! 👍
@@TofuAutoWorks It makes me remember the words of a friend from Seattle/USA: „Seattle has two seasons: Summer - warm rain. Winter - cold rain.“ When I was there it had sunshine and 42 degrees Celsius / 108 Fahrenheit. 😁 I see, mysteriously you have the same weather in NZ like we here in Germany 😁
Another great video! I loved the rain shot at the end as well as the render sneak peak showcasing the rest of the design and highlighting the next pieces you will build. Awesome touch. Great craftsmanship as always! You're doing great work that you should be able to take immense pride in!
More superb content from Tofu. The FD front end grafted on really adds a new dimension to this build. Thanks for all your work and more RESPECT for your tenacity.
So cool to see the drawing at the end of how you envision it, great to see where it's going and the plans you have for it, looking forward to watching the whole journey!
I've been sneaking the drawing in a bit in these last videos. It's a lot easier to just show people what I'm doing instead of trying to reassure everyone by saying "trust the vision" haha
I think some kind of custom snorkel would fit the build, like its an illegal car that runs from the police in the future, there could be a lot of dust in said future and since parts would be hard to find, saving your engine and your air filter would make sense!
man, how are you not itchy after cutting fiber with abre hands and sanding fiber with short sleeve and shorts! you are fearless! I am itchy all the time!, great job as always, a source of inspiration!
I think everyone else is just a big baby haha, I genuinely don't feel itchy at all. Either that or I'm always itchy and I just don't notice it anymore lol. Keep up the great work dude, been loving seeing your build progress!
"Good enough is the enemy of humanity." That extra time spent on gaps and body lines is what separates a great build from "it looks nice while its moving" builds.
I always find it incredibly exciting how you can turn 2 different car parts into 1 complete car parts accessory package. The result is always amazing. ;- )
Amazing video as always, good morning from the UK thankyou for the best way to start a sunday morning, wake up coffee and the latest episode... Perfect
Absolutely love the channel. You are so skilled man! You have motivated me to learn how to work with composites to make my own custom parts. Thank you! HUGE FAN. some day my mk5 gti will be tofu worthy!
32:25 The Michelangelo Buonarroti of our time working on his David. I wish I had enough influence to try and get CD projekt Red to notice this car and put it in the game!
It might but I've burned out a tool in the past from the slurry that was produced clogging up the airways, so now I just sort of make the dust and deal with it. I have plans to work on improving my dust extraction for my next shop, this one is a lost cause though.
I love this build i started watching it since when you had a bodykit and the miata was beige, but i think you do too much exterior parts and not enough engine mods, but thats just my opinion
@@TofuAutoWorks you could try to engrave your logo in the edge of your custom tail light :) So you have an official touch on every part you've build. Keep it up!
Well, I was going to go sleep but I guess I can hang out for long enough to see this! Also, when am I going to be able to order something for my NB miata from tofu?!
i wish you didnt add al the lights in the front and kept it like this and ditched the full on cyber punk comitment for sometthing a little more clean... the cyber punk is cool but in this stage witht the rx7 bumper the car looks so good with the creation you made ... maybe make 2
Plenty of mold making videos on this channel, this build is more of a 'quick and dirty' type deal, I'd recommend some of my latest GTR Stagea episodes for mold making.
i hope someone hires you for a big project one day cause jeeeez this is beautiful. doing the cyberpunk community much justice.
My dream is to one day work with a film props studio like Weta Workshop for some cool cyberpunk take on the original Fast and Furious / Wangan midnight, that would just be awesome.
@@TofuAutoWorks goodness thats a dope idea. i hope it will come to pass man.
A pre-madmax-ish era right before gasoline gets outlawed dystopia type Wangan Fast film would be dope AF! ★★★ SCREENWRITERS TAKE NOTES★★★
@@busta8694forreal
@TofuAutoWorks cyberpunk street racing film would be the sickest film idea ever.
Last time I saw anything like that it was anime redline 2009
Imagine being so good at bodywork that you can recreate part of a famous body kit from scratch just from pictures. That's the work of a master craftsman.
Dude, he made gtr front end to a wagon, nissan, and then recreated a full body kit just from pictures 🤣🤣🤣 this here is walking in the park for him
That rx-7 front makes it ten times better, very nice
I am watching from Japan. I like your videos and watch them all the time. The design, the technical skills, the ideas, everything is good👍.
This has to be the most underrated build on YT. Coolest thing ever.
The hot glue application got me thinking "man, this is the ultimate arts and crafts project".
Love how this one's been progressing!
Fiberglass is just spicy paper maché. 😂
@@TofuAutoWorksgreat for your lungs too
never stop doing this please.
Watching the evolution of this chimera car is literally the best thing in tv. Bravo my man, Bravo 👏👏👌
Hey! Someone else who appreciates the Total Car Service USUI Roadster! That thing's gorgeous and I definitely see where it influenced your build.
You must have a badass dad and I bet growing up was so fun watching and learning from him.
A short little project like this is a nice change of pace from the Skygea, always happy to see more!
Yeah for sure, always nice having more than one project so you can jump around and keep things from getting too repetitive.
i love when people like you do something others dont.
Adding the Logo just makes it Legit AF, Been following your work for a while its definitely inspiring, this channel is part of the reason i got into a body tech apprentice job, learn the fundamentals to bondo and body work and then do cool shit like this!
So awesome to hear bro, keep it up!

Watching from Germany 🇩🇪, my biggest respect! It’s pure joy to see what you dream and achieve with your cars! 👍
Here in NZ all you need to do is plan for nice sunny weather and it will rain for you. It's easy once you figure out the system haha.
@@TofuAutoWorks It makes me remember the words of a friend from Seattle/USA: „Seattle has two seasons: Summer - warm rain. Winter - cold rain.“

More superb content from Tofu. The FD front end grafted on really adds a new dimension to this build. Thanks for all your work and more RESPECT for your tenacity.
Always a good time to not sleep when a new video drops.
Always amazed by people that can pound out a quality project!
That transition to the drawing at the end! Super nice with the editing skills!
We need more cyberbuilds, this is so unique and fresh!
So cool to see the drawing at the end of how you envision it, great to see where it's going and the plans you have for it, looking forward to watching the whole journey!

Something tells me you're not just making things up as you go. Incredible attention to detail!
I would try to make the vents longer. But im not complaning. The result is top notch!!
I think some kind of custom snorkel would fit the build, like its an illegal car that runs from the police in the future, there could be a lot of dust in said future and since parts would be hard to find, saving your engine and your air filter would make sense!
I like that idea!
@@TofuAutoWorks well, I'm happy to bring an idea to this beautifull build! Can't wait to see how it evolves!
That front nose looks better on your Miata than it ever did on the FD. As usual, great work!
man, how are you not itchy after cutting fiber with abre hands and sanding fiber with short sleeve and shorts! you are fearless! I am itchy all the time!, great job as always, a source of inspiration!
I think everyone else is just a big baby haha, I genuinely don't feel itchy at all. Either that or I'm always itchy and I just don't notice it anymore lol.
Keep up the great work dude, been loving seeing your build progress!
love the little color highlight image at the end!
would recommend you use a rubber spudger or like a used rubber slipper to push the filler within the crevices since the mix you use is quite viscus.
The haters wish they were as good at making body kits as you are!
I'm excited to see those turn signal covers in the next video, they look sick af in the drawing.
"Good enough is the enemy of humanity." That extra time spent on gaps and body lines is what separates a great build from "it looks nice while its moving" builds.
I love to see your progress, processes and creativity.
I look forward to every update.

I think you made the right call with the flares. I didnt think they matched with the rear
お疲れ様です！
待ってました！RX-5笑
素晴らしいフロントフェンダーが出来ましたね！
フェンダーに負けないフロントバンパーが今から待ち遠しいです！
これからも動画が上がる度に見ますのでよろしくお願いいたします！
16:42 reminded me of Superfast matt's "Forged *Carbon Fiber*" filled with youtuber merch and a ham sandwhich.
Haha, I watched that one the same day I did this, was very tempted to put a few of my hate comments in there lol
Amazing video as always, good morning from the UK thankyou for the best way to start a sunday morning, wake up coffee and the latest episode... Perfect
Man! You are amazing! So satisfying to watch your skills, your projects are badass.
Exceptional, as always.
Just got back from school and its a perfect timing to watch your video while eating :))
next video is going to be super interesting, i can't wait to see how you will make all those details
i hope for a video of you driving it in the city, i love the car ✌️
I had mixed feelings about that rx7 front, but when I saw the sketch...it's fireee🥵🥵🔥🔥, cannot wait for another video
cool bike in the background
This is so awesome. Very inspiring stuff
Turned out to be a Great Tofu Dish. Love your work and thank you for sharing
Man this is SO SICK!
Would be really epic if you could work on one of B Is For Builds cars, Chris could use some pointers with fiberglass lol
Not just fibreglass 😂😂
haaa here is my weekly dose of a lifetime build 😀😀
Super cool stuff man, the maita is really just on another level compared to a few years ago
Love that car. Great job.
I really hope you can add some asymmetric design features. that would elevate the cars look fr fr
Awesome as always
Thanks bro!
i want to see that hiace in the background with the same treatment =)
24:22 the cat sitting perfectly in the middle of that hallway with the camera set up like that made it seem almost scripted :')
I have a tip: when removing hot glue use isopropyl alcohol and it just peels off
Ooooffff... I love where this is going!
great work
amazing skill
Holding the cut off wheel like a paintbrush with no gloves is a bold move
Absolutely love the channel. You are so skilled man! You have motivated me to learn how to work with composites to make my own custom parts. Thank you! HUGE FAN. some day my mk5 gti will be tofu worthy!
Cheers dude, and I love to hear it! Best of luck with it mate!
Looks great man 👍
32:25 The Michelangelo Buonarroti of our time working on his David. I wish I had enough influence to try and get CD projekt Red to notice this car and put it in the game!
I can’t figure out if you’re an engineer or an artist … great video as always 👍
I have history in art and qualifications in engineering, so both I guess. 😂
@@TofuAutoWorks 🤣🤣🤣
Saludos desde Venezuela 🇻🇪🇻🇪🇻🇪
Love the build..😊 the shark fin not so much 😞
keep it up! looking great
Love the series ❤ keep it up 👍
Amazing!!
Love it, but I think you can go way more aggressive with the vents!
Magnifique 😊
great work as always 🙌 cant wait to see this finished! its looking awesome, wish you primed the whole bumper so we could see it in 1 colour
Still got lots to do to the bumper but it will get there eventually!
@@TofuAutoWorks im sure it does! literally cant wait until the next episode
This is dope
24:28 i got distracted by the cat in background 😂
Dude in the video, his skin must be immune to fiberglass dust
So you cut it, to glue it back together? To adjust the Meassurements or for Stability to remove Tensions?
Took about 20mm out of the back of the fender to bring the angle back in a bit. They kicked out pretty far and it didn't look right in my opinion.
22:53 Here weeeee goooooo😂
Hahah, the real reason people watch my videos 🤣
awesome
imagine pull up in the meet whit these
would adding water to the fiberglass while cutting reduce the risk of fibers in the air?
It might but I've burned out a tool in the past from the slurry that was produced clogging up the airways, so now I just sort of make the dust and deal with it. I have plans to work on improving my dust extraction for my next shop, this one is a lost cause though.
👍👍👍bonjour de France !!
hi, love the content. wondering what the "powder' is you add to the fibre glass resin please? thanks
West Systems 413. I have subtitles that detail all steps of the process in every video.
Buen trabajo
Another one! 👍 Are you gonna extend the front bumper ends(right & left) to meet the fenders?
There will be an extra flare on top that fills in the gap, check the sketch at the end of the video to see what I mean.
I love this build i started watching it since when you had a bodykit and the miata was beige, but i think you do too much exterior parts and not enough engine mods, but thats just my opinion
4 rotor swap next bro 😜
Loving the build choom. Just one question, are you planning to do asymmetrical lights like many cars in Cyberpunk have?
There's a sketch at the end of the video showing how I hope for it to look when it's done
espectacular
Great work again.
From what material is your logo that you've " casted " in?
Standard printer paper on a run of the mill printer. Just cut a few slits so that you can roll airbubbles out and that's all you need to do.
@@TofuAutoWorks you could try to engrave your logo in the edge of your custom tail light :)
So you have an official touch on every part you've build.
Keep it up!
Hey where did you get your body filler boards? I’ve always wanted one but cannot find any!
My board is just a scrap piece of flat aluminium from a bonnet or something. You don't need anything flash.
Well, I was going to go sleep but I guess I can hang out for long enough to see this! Also, when am I going to be able to order something for my NB miata from tofu?!
Not sure when / if I'll do anything for an NB. Really it's just a matter of getting a fun idea that I want to try out.
@@TofuAutoWorks your website has 3 piece duck tails, wouldnt those fit both the NA and NB?
how,did you build your shop? its really nice!
Just 4x4s and plywood and a close to a decade of filling it with tools and sanding dust.
i wish you didnt add al the lights in the front and kept it like this and ditched the full on cyber punk comitment for sometthing a little more clean... the cyber punk is cool but in this stage witht the rx7 bumper the car looks so good with the creation you made ... maybe make 2
How many hours did this swap take? You seem very efficient!
Around 2 weeks, maybe 60 - 80 hours? It's difficult to judge because filming adds a lot of time as well.
@@TofuAutoWorks wow that seems very quick! Mad respect dude! You make it look easy :)
This guy works with fibreglass like it’s not itchy lol
めちゃくちゃ良い︎︎👍
What happened with the Hot Wheel of this car, is it available to purchase?
It will be coming out next year.
What do you use to make your molds!?
Plenty of mold making videos on this channel, this build is more of a 'quick and dirty' type deal, I'd recommend some of my latest GTR Stagea episodes for mold making.
Now u gotta 2 rotor swap it 😉
How much Time do you spend on this build
Over 4 years so far.
