I've been having exams lately which make me a little bit stressed out. However these videos of you working on the stagea really make me cheer up and be happy. Thank you Tofu Auto Works!
Excellent work! I feel like your design style has evolved so much for the better from the Mazda. Your choice of lines and the width of the flares keep it very tasteful. Looking forward to the next episode! 😃
Yeah I definitely feel that too. I'm putting more thought into the functionality of the design rather than just "Let's make the widest widebody I can" which was my design philosophy on the Mx5.
Haha, mate you're out there inspiring thousands of people everyday. Not to mention you have a proper grown-up job on top of all the amazing content you put out. I mean this when I say it, if it weren't for you and people like you out here showing what the car community has to offer, I doubt I'd be where I am today and probably wouldn't have ever bothered with RU-vid.
You sir, are an artist!! I also don't know if it has been said before but, you are an example to the youtube community for always using safety equipment where needed and taking your health seriously!
Absolutely, so many people are willing to do the wrong things and somehow thinks it makes sense to upload it and act like some sort of teacher. Theres a few guys I watch that still take it seriously but many dont. Heck I’ve been seeing videos where the comments get spun up because they are doing it wrong and the next video they are mocking the comments. If you are gonna do the wrong thing just dont upload lol.
Loved watching you sculpt the foam from an ugly block into something that just looks right on the car. I don't think I'll look at an M35 Stagea the same way again after seeing this come to life. Keep up the awesome work!
как же она бомбически выглядит в этом обвесе, желаю что бы ты остался доволен симметрией, когда будешь делать вторую сторону, а ещё, слушать звук работы инструментов очень приятно
Thanks for watching! I'd like to announce that I've just launched a Patreon page if you would like to support these builds! www.patreon.com/TofuAutoWorks Patrons will be able to watch ad-free videos before they go live on RU-vid. Patrons also gain access to a bunch of exclusive content like ultra high detailed build threads, behind the scene posts, real time updates, patron mentions, access to polls where you can vote on future video ideas / mods and exclusive merch.
Yo, great build! It might be beneficial to put amazon links to all your safety equipment and comparable foam products and tools and whatnot. PS: Japanese steel.
Haha, I'm sure we can think of something more interesting than black. Maybe something that shows off all the hard work with the body lines a little better too haha.
ya farken sheep shagger haha, good old kiwi ingenuity, tempted to do the same for my Stagea but finding the nissan gtr front end is extremely hard, keep up the beautiful work did you know the 4 door R32 skyline body was the best option to make into a ute, B pillars back is a lot easier to turn into a ute then using the coupe body
I don't know if you're already planning on doing it but I think that since the front fenders won't be covering the whole bumper you should maybe add a canard or something along those lines to make the car look lower and complete the front end. Awesome progress, can't wait to see the finished parts! This car might even dethrone the RS6 Avant as my favorite wagon ever.
Hey, I'm loving the project so much that I have thought about doing something similar though the molding part is way beyond my skill level. So I was wondering: have you thought about selling the fiberglass pieces?
Thats very cool, you can really see the shape coming together now, the way you followed the factory lines gives it such a nice design. It will need a cool paint job after for sure, something bright or a cool pearl metalic maybe. Look forward to the next one!
If you make fiberglass negative molds of these these modified body pannels... you then coat the molds negative molds with thin slip plaster of Sheetrock 90 drywall plaster the sandable kind (white and blue bag) and reinforce the slip coat with plaster cast strips until thick enough that the positive plug won't deform when demolded, then use the positive plug to vacuum form polymer panels that never rust and sell them. You would want to get the design of your aftermarket polymer pannel patented if you want to sell them to a manufacturer of least the pattents to be produced and receive royalties. This is how duplication would be done old school from a old school Gen Xer like me.
OMG I had a fetish with Station Wagons...Had that exact one I bought for 500... Should of known when the vendor that was a Friend said he was waiting on it in the Mail but it never came so I had to Sale... Had a beautiful Honda Accord 95 station wagon.. I had to do some time in prison and someone stoled it from my home. I cried like a Baby. But I still love station wagons. Maybe I will get a Cadillac 2011 Station wagon just cause I haven't had Cadillac iñ in my life. But I love this shit right here. Dumb clean....
Master Tofu sir I would like to compliment you on your sensational workmanship during this part of your build, this car is going to be truly stunning once you have finished crafting everything that you have planned for it and I personally would love the ability to do half of what you manage to achieve, instead I just find myself lusting after your creation 😍 Will you be selling this conversion and styling kit as a package once you have finished designing it at all?
Hi thanks a lot for your video i apprezed how you work so very clear and to much professional. (we have the same way of doing the job😁❤️) Thanks a lot again and best day for you
You've demonstrated some great methods for ensuring reproducible dimensions on the other side. I never even knew how to tackle something like this and be somewhat certain the left and right side matches. Cheers
As you decided using foam to shape the over fender, why do you used real GTR fender at the start? Is it afterthought by using foam is quicker and easier?
If you ever get the chance u need to do a Toyota supra front on a gs300/Toyota aristo ive been looking at doing it myself but i don't believe its been done before ive found one image of what it looks like and it was made in photo shop
i really enjoy every of your video! true master!! i dont know if you have answered that before, sry, did you learn all that stuff or dir you teach it your own? looks so professional!!
That 2 part foam is neat to work with, but it seems like you either have too much or need to make mutliple batches. I wish there was a way to figure out exactly how much you need. lol
And that, ladies and gentlemen, goes someway to explaining why a body kit for my car would cost at least 35% (before paint + finishing) of the car's purchase value . Outstanding! 👏👏👏
I bet that carving knife came out of the electric one in the kitchen ;-) If you have large areas to carve it work well on light power setting - but yes using one blade is much finer.
if you go through all that labor and effort in glass, take a bi of time to make a mold you might be able to sell a few sets to fund the project beautiful work this ones awesome , as was the Miata!
it would be nice to see the side where the gas door is completed and somehow make that door go upward instead of side ways that way both sides look symmetrical, but man that is very great what you just made right there ,looking awesome !!

Sir i think we should add Gill on Widebody look like LibertyWalk...very stronger
I just Binged watch the videos for this series! Man, i wish i had your videos when i was building a fastback for my Miata back in 2018. This thing is going to be amazing!
Been binge watching your videos for the last 2 weeks,.amazing eye for detail ,dedication and skill to pull off all of these modifications, be interested to know if you're planning any engine and brake upgrades ? Keep up the great work 👌
it is very interesting to see how the body kit for the Sta-GTR is created and what effort it is But that's something to be proud of, they look like they were made for it
