Logan Taylor same! I saw him and thought, “that guy looks familiar.” And then he said that. I just imagine him grabbing the part, flying to them, dropping it off in person, and then immediately flying back.
There's something truly special about restoring 80s/90s cars and trucks that goes unsaid. Especially the one's that are overlooked nowadays because "hard to find parts for". I consider it a challenge. Kudos on the Bad Ass Mira!!
5:14 For anyone who is redoing door materiel you can use wool felt! It's cheap, easy to work, very forgiving comes in a multitude of colours and also helps with sound deadening from the outside world furthermore it also helps with speaker setups (hence why they use it in subwoofer builds) It can be glued down all the same and can be sown together with ease if you want a MaAaaD design and or two tone. Actually looks quite regal if done well.
Hey guys thanks for doing what you do, my dad and I have watched the whole series even from season 1 so thank you for these MAD years and here’s to many many more
I love the purity of your show. Ive been watching since mcm vs roadkill and never looked back. Soon after was when roadkill started charging but you guys keep going. No patrion just merch and sponcers. I love the show... keep it up
I love that you guys have put this much work and love into this car - a lot of YT channels have gone to super cars, Lamborghini and stuff, but you've shown that it's OK to have a nugget and enjoy it. Rock on.
Thanks for all that you guys do to entertain us! I bought a 1990 Miata last year and ordered a Chopped fingers keychain to go with it. My daughter has been hounding me for it ever since she first saw it haha! I just placed an order for another one, plus some other goodies for her and me both. I'm proud to rep your show, and again, thanks for all you do!
I love that after all these years, they still keep the old "jack up your car" joke going. Shows they are still aware of where they came from, from a driveway.
Really love to see this kind of olde style MCM video(this music bring lots of old memories). They never get old... Continually watching you guys since 2009... Much love from Sri Lanka 🇱🇰
Great video! I’m redoing my 99’ Subaru Sambar TT2 door cards this weekend and just ordered a punch set to do all the clip holes! The inside door release handle is identical to my 99’ Sambar😂
When I was doing this for my early 90's Corolla, the door cards were mirrored, which made my process a lot faster. This kind of job is also so much easier with a router and patterning bit, especially with mirrored door cards: Double side tape the old to new, old to new to new in my case, do an oversized jigsaw cut, then take it to the router. Not only do you reduce time by reducing cuts, but you're also doing less setup for each step. I only ended up dong my own because it was becoming too difficult to find door cards within my car's own spec. At some point they changed from all wood to half plastic and half wood, and I believe the latest years of it changed to full plastic. Each type of door card also had their own style, it wasn't just a move from wood to wood+plastic to plastic, but each style changed a noticeable amount, and I wasn't entirely comfortable with the change, especially if I couldn't find matching front and rear cards. Sadly the car was totaled while I was fixing up the interior. RIP that nugget.
I've bought loads of them. I really like them. If you are a pro who drills (or whatever) all day every day they probably wont last a year. If you are a DIY enthusiast they will probably last forever. I've burned out about half a dozen cheap cordless drills over the last 20 years. One of my Ryobi drills is about 5 years old now. The rubber is falling off but it's still doing the job like the day I bought it (with new batteries). What I really like is the range of tools you can get for the money. Why spend £400 on one tool when you can get a small collection (or a bunch of batteries) for the same money!
Lol my Ozito cordless is 6 years old and somehow still going strong. My Black&Decker that I got in a box of crap for $5 that's probably older than I am is the superior drill though. 1970s or early 80s maybe? Can't do self tappers for shit but it'll drill a hole through the entire universe.
LOL really? That's what companies you want to do when they sponsor some stuff.. :P If you feel the urge to buy that stuff you are an easy prey for the big companies ;)
Mmmmm, Okinomiyaki... Hirosshima style is my favourite :D Nice to see the completion of the Mira, been eagerly watching every episode since Turbos and Temples just for this car!
Mighty car mods Wow. My friend just cut up my door weather shielding so he could sneak beers into a music festival lol. Super random but awesome and helpful tutorial!!! love it.
Welcome back to your roots (lol) Mighty Car Mods! Cheap car projects that anyone can embark on make for an awesome episode. Would have been awesome seeing you guys attempt to stitch together some fancy leather interior!
Dads old truck had plastic vinyl door panels and were held in place by one tiny brittle piece of plastic. It broke and you had to rebuy the whole door panel...which was discontinued and rare.....zip ties did some magic in keeping dads door panels looking good
I was screaming at the screen when you said you were leaving off the Japanese door trim and putting on the edge trim, I thought it would be nasty but when I saw it, I have to admit you were right.
While I do enjoy all the engine and drivetrain swaps, it's very nice to see a back to basics project that is something I can (and probably will be) do to my car. Thanks.
Hey Moog, there's a home device called a sewing machine. It allows you to join two pieces of material together using thread... Generally looks more upmarket than the faux stitch heat sealing too. ;) How about repairing seats next? So many seat bolsters collapse and a DIY video for that would be great.
As an car upholster, I recomend doing it completely new. Despite the fact that it will be more work and it will be more expensive, you avoid one serious problem. On of the things that makes this usually a bodge job is the simple fact that old glues and new ones will try an eat each other. Simply put, I wont stick well enough in most cases. Mcm does it well, I'll give m that but that is in most cases what I'll happen. Same with roof liner.
You can use MDF if you soak it in lacquer. Then it becomes stronger and water proof. I use HDF that's been lacquered with 4 layers by brush or 5 by spray. I've got them on a open top Jeep, no issues in 3 years now, since install.
Also: If you own one, try using a multi tool. I had to make a rectangular cut in 19mm MDF (building loudspeakers with weirdly shaped tweeters) and it worked like magic: Way quicker AND better quality than drilling holes in the corner and cutting it with a saw.
This is one of my favorite mcm cars, I genuinely love seeing all the little things they do to it. Out of curiosity what is your guy's favorite car from mcm? Mine's probably the superturbo
Back to basics thanks gents! Dash flocking next? Update how to wash a car properly, cleaning windscreens with metal polish etc.. Moar DIY please there's only so much Chrisfix we can watch ;)
Loving the Mira! Not loving the way the power tool promo is being delivered. Too heavy. Best wishes seeing this build through. Little nuggets like this are the bedrock of mighty car mods!
When you have cut the board into shape, put on few coats of urethane lacquer. This prevents wood from sucking moisture even if it gets moist and weather stripping fails etc. Also when putting the leather or what over in place, place it where it should go. Fold it on it self, spray the contact adhesive, hold fabric in place while folding it back to glue it and repeat on other side. This way peace stays in place and there is much less fighting to get it fit properly.
A fun little throw back to the old school MCM with a bit of the current touch... just like their nuggety car :-D
the music is what got me

Agreed, personally I love the way they evolved their shows, but these old school DIY videos are so enjoyable.
True

They used a bunch of older music from moog, reminds me to the "electric supercharger episode"
"First jack up your car." in conjunction with the OG-driveway-modding-music! I almost feel nostalgic... :-)
Bost2301 best part
I had to double-check the upload date lol
When he said wizard's coat,I started singing Electric Space Wizard too.
MOOG's "Transforner" always gets the job done.
Rob hand delivered it, and then went home to japan
That made laugh more than it should have
Logan Taylor same! I saw him and thought, “that guy looks familiar.” And then he said that. I just imagine him grabbing the part, flying to them, dropping it off in person, and then immediately flying back.
I know right...
1000dollar part right there
I wish I had a Rob to hand deliver parts from japan.
It’s the only way to get them overnight. ;)
moog: absolutely grot
Also moog: immediately places on face
At least he didnt lick it and make himself sick again
*immediately puts it in mouth
The OG music... Great nod to your old style of doing vids!
I wish they were released though

I love that this episode was kinda of a throwback to the old days. Even the music was the same. Enjoyed the show guys
I’m actually super impressed with how these turned out, been cringing at my door cards for nearly 6 years. I’m going to give this a go!

i saw marty driving this car the other day in lilyfield, did a shakas and the great bloke did one back. the car looks amazing!!!

Nice Job on the door panels. Not all are that easy to make or repair. But that was just simple and basic what you did, and improves the build 100%.
Really glad the DIY's are back. Missed them.
I literally just bought a ryobi corded heat gun the other week, now I've gotta buy a cordless one. God damn it!
What are the odds
I might actually do this myself for my Falcon now, just to see if I can do it. Thanks for putting this one out guys!
Everybody : Uses the workbench to show necessary tools
MCM: Drop it on the floor like years ago.
Love it.

Weird, got this sudden urge to buy Ryobi power tools 🤷🏼♂️
I've bought loads of them. I really like them.
If you are a pro who drills (or whatever) all day every day they probably wont last a year.
If you are a DIY enthusiast they will probably last forever.

I like ryobi stuff but I do have a Dewalt cordless drill and omg it is vastly "superior" to anything else I have....
LOL really? That's what companies you want to do when they sponsor some stuff.. :P If you feel the urge to buy that stuff you are an easy prey for the big companies ;)
Heres a lifehack.. get the tools with a cord and you wont have to worry about batteries

Good Ep, one question... Where’s the Super March Turbo?? Any updates on when we will see that on the show??
Im pretty sure he shipped it. Can take alot of time. And maybe they wait before they show. At least i hope :c
They have to wait for the import laws to change which won't be until December at the earliest unfortunately

When you have cut the board into shape, put on few coats of urethane lacquer. This prevents wood from sucking moisture even if it gets moist and weather stripping fails etc.
Also when putting the leather or what over in place, place it where it should go. Fold it on it self, spray the contact adhesive, hold fabric in place while folding it back to glue it and repeat on other side. This way peace stays in place and there is much less fighting to get it fit properly.
before reassemble I use transparent paint on the door card to prevent any water or moisture damage. nice little car, grats :)
