This really is the strangest car you've ever seen. But we need to know - Is my Daihatsu Midget Radio Active? It's an important question that needs to be answered after this little car was imported from Japan.
We also need to finish off fixing this little nugget and then give it a detail so it can go head to head with Martys Kei Truck for the ultimate Japanese Mini Truck Battle!

Never use an angle grinder to buff a vehicle, they spin way to fast and you will cut through the clear coat in an instant. Buffers look like angle grinders but spin much slower

Probably quick hook points for a cargo net. And they say ‘nagetto’ in Japan for nugget. Might be a cute name.

Cable ties in the tray secured "permanent" pool noodles for load protection. somewhat common in the food services

Was about to post this and saw you beat me to it :) They definitely for pool noodles.

@davidmartin1186 Год назад

I was thinking anchor points for ropes or bungee cords to keep the load secure.

V-belts are universal, just walk into the parts store and buy one the same length, the part number printed on the belt tells the length, or it's easy enough just to match a new one up to the old one.

@RoamGaming Год назад

my guess on the zip ties in back is to give a cargo net a touch more clearance for something that was a bit bigger than usual.

I used to have a JDM jzx110 mark 2 that I imported and had for years. Every time I turned it on it was the exact same voice recording telling me card not inserted. I loved that and hearing it in this video brought back some memories!

@Jcolefishin Год назад

A couple of days before your first midget episode I had one come to live in my garage for the next couple of years until it’s able to be placed on historic rego. It’s the father in-laws and is apparently the first midget imported and complied in Australia. Asked him a bit more about it and it turns out he used to import and comply them for years. If you guys run into any issues let me know and I’m happy to fire some questions his way on your behalf.

@superkirk11 Год назад

If you wanna chop Marty, you should try and find a Hayabusa engine for it. There's actually some videos of people who've done it.

@MrDefjef88 Год назад

Hey Moog, I’ve been watching since almost the beginning! I started watching in early 2009!! Been a huge fan since. Love the content.

@ribbitism Год назад

i think the cable ties in the back could have been used as tie down points for nets, having them big keeps things adjustable and easy to use. it didnt look like there were many/any small hook points, nets usually have pretty small hooks. just a thought.

@christopherlucas6606 Год назад

You should match the bumpers, headlight bezels and fog light covers with the goldish/brass of the rims. That would make the midget look complete and possibly show us the process in getting it matched other than rattlecan! FYI I bought one of your MCM collector edition Books with your guys’ signature. I was in the Afghanistan war on terrorism for three tours and this is my favorite book in my collection. Much love and support from the USA!

guessing the cable ties in the tray might have been hooking points for those elastic cargo nets

@Zombified5000 Год назад

my guess for the cable ties is an easier way to just quick bungie cord some crates down being as it was probably used to transport alcohol around town.

@williamlavery2217 Год назад

As it was likely used as a cargo run around it it could be quick tie downs. Or, they may have used them to put pool noodles in to protect the load/paint and keep it from moving about.

@revengefullobster4524 Год назад

I'd like to think that the cable ties were used to hold tube lighting of some sort - that'd be pretty cool

@BarrelBros Год назад

These are so weird! The interior is really asymmetric. The rear view mirror in not in the middle, the head unit is on the wrong side, if you want to get out on the passenger(?) side you will cop a gearstick knob right where you don't really want it. Quirkiness aside though, I have to say it's a cute little bugger!

@toypop96 Год назад

The two seater versions are even weirder; only available as a column shift auto since a manual would be awkward with the gearstick between the passenger’s legs, and the second seat is literally just a little stool grafted on to the end of the driver’s seat. Would be very cosy to say the least.

@NicoIsntHere Год назад

Perhaps in the same vein of working on a thing and feeling a sense of achievement, I have built a few of my own custom mechanical keyboards. Soldering to sourcing parts and when I complete a build I get that sense of pride or accomplishment or whatever it is. I just sit back and say to myself "I made a thing" and sort of sit in that feeling for a bit. It is a hell of a thing.
