Russ Clarke Yeh, but they would also clean the engine bay, apply a turbo, redo the piping, new breaks and interior, this is a budged episode and it’s mad respect to this dude, but sometimes 10 episodes are better then 1 long one.
Cheese Sniffer Mazda Miata (U.S.) The Mazda MX-5 is a lightweight two-passenger roadster sports car manufactured and marketed by Mazda with a front mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout.
You can use the emergency jack, and a toolkit is at most 100$, a welder can go as low as 60$, and a saw at most could be 200-300$, not bad in total. And the knowledge can just be learned from RU-vid videos and various other things, you don’t need a college degree to pop a hood and replace some oil.
@@postalpancho I'd see the car sell for around $3,000 which is great upside, if he starts doing more expensive (When not destroyed) cars, he could make great money back from the work put in
*Other fellas:* I have never done this and this means im gonna pay somebody to do it for me *This guy:* I have never done this and this means im gonna learn it today
He builds cars on youtube... you can literally see 2 other project cars in the garage... mad props to the dude for turning it around, but he also cheaped out in a lot of areas, which i understand its for the purpose of the car since he was trying to keep it cheap
@@TNTHammer yeah, but an automatic in a miata is a cardinal sin. If you don't know how to drive stick you can learn how in under an hour in a parking lot.
It reminded me of the first Cars movie after the King had his big crash, the face was bent in the same way. So our madlad here pulled a Lightning McQueen and saved it/pushed it across the finish line and gave it its dignity and life back... real car fellow right there.
At The Start, The Mazda Miata Was Sad Because You See the Sad Smile On The Miata, And Now He Looks Happy For Fixing Him Thank You For Fixing this Sad Miata.
Chuck Jones , He can’t sell it, it would be a liability, shops get sued for repairing vehicles and not following manufacture repair instructions. People could get really hurt in a crash since the car is no longer structurally sound.
Batman , I guess he could make them sign a liability waiver, but selling a car without making sure that the person understands that it wasn’t repaired correctly and that it’s potentially dangerous in an event of an accident can probably get him into legal trouble
For a project that was done on a budget, on the weekends in your workshop, this thing turned out really nice! Respect to you sir for keeping the faith, keeping your head down and never giving up. I'm sure you came across some obstacles building this sweet Miata. Look what you created. You should be very proud. Looks really good too.
This video has been in my recommended for 3 days and I was like "this is just another clickbait", but I absolutely don't regret watching this video... Subscribed and I will definitely watch more. ✌
I feel so insignificant in comparison to your ability to just say, "I'll give it a try." God bless you bro, you're a living example of a deciple stepping out of the water.. With cars and your faith. Much love bro.
The Miata in its first shots reminded me of the first Cars movie after the King had his big crash, the face was bent in the same way. So our madlad here pulled a Lightning McQueen and saved it/pushed it across the finish line and gave it its dignity and life back... real car fellow right there.
@@l.k5244 I was thinking the same thing, but you gotta factor in costs and being realistic (a car he only put $1200 into). As long as he's safe in a front-end collision with that custom cage, then if it crashes... well, he'd just have rebuild the cage and "fix" the vehicle again.
If I drove this car with the new tube front to the mandatory technical inpection in Germany the inpector would faint on the spot and I'd be in prison for at least 20 years. Glad you saved this Miata, I didint know a car could look as sad as this one with the bashed in front did. Keep up the awesome work!
lol that shop guy welding the new front end was looking right at his beads to make sure they're perfect .. respect for putting his eyes at risk to ensure quality
The zip ties holding the timing belt taught whilst installing/adjusting the tensioner Is a life hack that I use whenever I change Miata timing belts. 👍
Great JOB!!! I just picked up a 1993 Miata with 257k miles, and now I see what I can do with it. Keep up the great work - loved the BUDGET SHIRT$$$ On point with any build.
Mad respect man! You're a hard working and humble man who's inspiring random teenagers to have their own project cars and to work hard for them. Love and support from Bangladesh.
Lucky Luuk 1. It’s cheap around 9k 2. It looks nice and slick 3 it’s good at shifting 4 it has a bigger coummunity around that car so u can still find different parts and accessories for it. I personally want it as my first
I want to like this video twice... this gives me a lot more confidence and inspiration fixing the paint on my own Miata. The amount of work here was amazing, as well as the resourcefulness. Earned a new subscriber!!
95% of the youtubers with "lambos" are leasing them or their parents are.the amount of bullshit on much of youtube is disturbing,this channel is refreshing
I always turn off my adblock when I watch this dudes videos. Mad props to you homie! I dont even know how to change oil but you out here repairing a whole ass car. Thank you man! I pay close attention to your videos cause I actually learn something.
Dude, this is sick. Appreciate somebody inspiring kids like me to have fun with budget project cars. Cant wait to see your channel at 1 mil. KEEP DOING WHAT YOU DO! 👍
Wow... I let this auto play, had no expectations. Groaned when the pipe bender came out, and waited for the mess when you started painting out in the open with an open door... Then, wow.... Proved me wrong man, good looking little project for no money. Keep it up !
this is crazy back in march 2020 this was the first car video i have ever seen. this video had got me into cars throughout all of the quarantine. now im proud to say i own a miata
79th...You started on MIATAS! YES! I was watching you about three months ago on painting my civic...bought a miata after driving one...and now I get more great content! YES!!!
I've been following you for about a month now and I absolutely love your work. I watch you and I want to fix my ride. You're an inspiration to me. Thank you for what you do. God bless you my brother.
DOPE BUILD & PRODUCTION!!! & i like how even though this comment section is filled with uneducated people regarding the Miata & it's tube front, there's *respectful* people who step in and teach without the disrespect. car community at its best imo.
Wow, about 2 years ago I saw a video that is still up, with a kid that bought a beat up miata same as yours at the start, but it was running, FOR 800 DOLLARS. I can't believe it. He could've bought a junkyard and rebuilt it, wow 900 bucks, amazing work.
You should raffle the cars you build for 5 dollar tickets and the raffle starts once there is 5k entries. You get your money back and someone gets a 5 dollar car 🤣
you saved this NA Miata so hard, even Jesus would give you a 2 week pass. beautiful results, thanks for the story/video, really fun to watch-good job man!
The fact that you had to dig into the timing for a thermostat housing is crazy lol. Makes me not want to own one of them ever. You really brought that thing back from the dead though, awesome job.
I recently delivered Miata for $ 2200. Both sports driving and open driving are too fun and I ride if I have free time. Miata is the most fun car in my life!
YESS!!! Another one!!! Dude I can’t wait to see this channel take off! You really showed how good you are at this by remaking the front. You’re a magician
The person that wrecked it probably only had liability insurance and therefore the car does not have a totaled loss title. So, what this fella is doing would result in some serious issues in the event he crashed into someone and they got hurt. These cars are easily totaled in an accident and they are available all the time because they are used and abused by illegal street drifting and some track drifting.
@@cherryhill2020 Ilegal in Canada. Your car being stronger doesn't make it safer. Roll cages protect the cabin and not the intentional crumple zones for a reason
@@cherryhill2020 theres these things called crumple zones on frames that are specifically designed and place onto the frames to protect the people in the cabin. He does awesome work but I would not want to be in that thing if he ever hits something head on.
Its really only a risk to yourself so if you're willing to accept that risk then have at it i say. Its a shame the US is one of the few places where people are allowed to make such choices for themselves. Here in the UK a check engine light is enough to deem a car "non roadworthy", its a clown state.
Amazing man!! I bought a 2000 Toyota echo with 218k miles. Fortunately, the engine and transmission are great! Just gave it time up, cleaned the interior
Really appreciate your efforts done on this project amazing work done I am following you from the video when you bought your friends car on $300 god bless you sir love from India 🇮🇳
