In the first part of this video, where the car is at the bodyshop, I was not always there when it happened, but I still decided to include it, by showing you pictures and images of it happening, since some other miata owners may find this useful. (I know that 2007 was the last time you watched an image slideshow on RU-vid) However, in the second part there is more video footage, so to not waste your time, here are some timestamps: 0:00 Introduction 1:22 Current State Of The Miata 2:05 Delivery To The Bodyshop 3:07 Damage Assessment 4:24 Rust Repair 6:11 Painting Preperation 8:06 New Color 9:54 Finished Bodywork + Pickup Day 11:58 The Mistake 12:30 Removing The Interior 15:19 Second Turbo Miata Plan 16:17 Last Details 19:58 Finished Look And Future Plans

Don't forget to have the headlights aligned. Most people forget this is a thing, but especially on older cars, there are adjustment screws that are used to make sure the headlight is pointing in the right place.

I own a 1990 1.6 Automatic (yeah ew I know) Miata, I'm currently "restoring" it to the best of my abilities by my self. I don't make too much so I need to slowly buy parts I need but I'm just trying to keep it nice. It's a fun project that has in the past month has given me quite a few problems with replacement refurbished parts and other problems that I just don't have the experience to diagnose and fix on my own. I don't watch you as much as I did about 2 years ago but besides watching cars when I was a kid, your Miata is one of the main reasons I own a little beauty today, thank you.

I am now the owner of a 1998 MX-5 NB after my mother sadly passed away. It was the first car I ever bought and it was her 60th birthday present from me. The car is almost identical in construction to the NA, but costs only 1/4 because it has no pop-up headlights. I love the car, you can't imagine how much fun a Miata can be. Because I now also have a close emotional bond with the car, I will keep and cherish it.

@CarMighty 11 месяцев назад

I am sorry for your loss, I hope your NB will serve you a long time ❤ I agree, the NB is better than the NA in every way, other than the pop-up headlights that some people just love :)

@UndeadBass 7 месяцев назад

hope you have fun with that NB, and sorry fpr your loss

@Erik_Blomgren 11 месяцев назад

I was a bit sceptical at first about this, kind of worried that you would ruin the car thats become your whole image, seeing this was super cool! I think the red paint was the right choise, it's your color after all :) I think the stock headlights look better, but tbh those ones you put on are more unique. Looks like the restoration was very well done as well, and that seems like a really good price too, i bet it would cost a lot more where i live. Your car really deserves this love!

@theguythatweird 11 месяцев назад

Mighty, these edits are absolutely astonishing. The video is done very, very well. It's engaging, interesting, and a lot of fun. I've really enjoyed your IRL videos of you mucking about with cars. Excellent work sir! Can't wait for more!

Your content is epic Mighty, and your fucked up discord server is also something that I love. I am glad to be a part of this community and I hope that this journey never ends. Thank you Mighty for all the awesome content and for giving a poor Miata a restoration road, I have had a similar process with an offroad car and I know how difficult it can get.

If you decide to change the headlights back to "stock" the American company Holley makes full LED lights called RetroBrights that look identical to the original sealed beam lamps. Basically 3x the light output but a stock look.

@stupidtomatos 11 месяцев назад

Honestly surprised it wasnt a turbo 5cyl out of the volvo s60r, but the lexus v8 makes a lot of sense too. Cant wait to see the finished product, definitely one of a kind. Crazy to see you come so far over the years :')

@CarMighty 11 месяцев назад

the 5cyl would be much more unique, but would require a LOT more custom fabrication :/ there are some kits for the 3UZ, which make the swap much easier

@firstNamelastName-ho6lv 11 месяцев назад

Dude I love those headlights, unique and functional. It looks normal from the side, then looks "done with everything" when viewed head on. I bet it will look like eye slits if you wire up the running lights.

For anyone dealing with mold, 1part vinegar to 4 parts water in a spray bottle, spray liberally, let dry. Can in more, I think I blasted my foresters with a 50/50 mix when it went moldy. Doesn't remove the stains but it kills the mold.

@frogsshadow4189 10 месяцев назад

This video just reminded me to seal the inside of my new quarter panel before I attach it. Glad I saw this before I attached it... Side note, the reason the running lights have different colors is most likely due to using 2 or more different LEDs to make the white light, you might be able to fix it by rotating the actual bulb but this just changes the problem from sideways to vertically but less likely to see that anyway. A proper fix is to change the bulb for a single color LED

Hey, it’s Adderall Andy. You know…that one guy with the face. It would be hilarious if you fully built a drift Miata so that it is on the edge of being street legal, and then take it for a grand tour across Europe. Going to racetracks and events, etc. and fix things that go wrong with it along the way, kinda like a European version of Roadkill or hot rod drag week. I’m sure NOTHING will go wrong with a 350hp Miata lowered and modded with a massive body kit and skinny tires with enough boost to pop a weather balloon.

If you plan on keeping the stock front subframe, i HIGHLY suggest finding an nb mazdaspeed subframe (or at least an nb subframe). both of them have improved suspension geometry and greatly reduce bump steer. All na/nb subframes are 100% interchangeable and are a direct bolt on swap. (youll also need the NB steering rack).
