Mighty car mods you were going to say?

[@durbeeno]

The music is really loud and annoying and i left early due to it.

[@badabooom]

To the one that hasn't figured out fast forward. You missed out.

[@durbeeno]

@@badabooom Oh, i know its there and a feature and so is the mute button, the thing is i should not have to use it if the content is good, and gingiums content has gone so downhill, ill be unsubscribing, later yall.

[@RonaldFinger]

Interior turned out fantastic! The rear panel really made a world of difference

[@chrismichaelyoung]

Man just when I thought your production quality couldn't get any better, you absolutely killed it this video. Made a bunch of typically not-so-interesting interior stuff out to be really entertaining. Keep it up!

[@_Gingium_]

Glad you enjoyed! Thanks for watching!

[@liljonthetrack98]

For real dude that speaker test in the car transition to the music in the video was crazy 🔥

[@xperia5295]

Lol love the mighty car mods song there at the end. Good work man.

[@_Gingium_]

Thank you!

[@tj_offroad]

Also the chopped MCM shirt. I think he has a banner too. Marty and Moog would be proud of this nugget.

[@CameramanKurt]

26:08 is my favorite Gingium montage in the universe.

[@thatonecarenthusiast8491]

When you use vinyl, use a heat gun and pull the vinyl material to the side and corners. With fiberglass, tear chunks off and apply them. The torn off pieces have the rugged edge that do a better job of holding together

[@_Gingium_]

Never thought about using a heat gun for vinyl! Great idea!

[@thatonecarenthusiast8491]

@@_Gingium_ yea it helps the vinyl stretch a bit more. Also with vinyl, it will stretch more length wise rather then width wise. So when applying the vinyl to something, try to put the stretchy ends to the more difficult angles of the piece you are working on.

[@frankthetankricard]

@@_Gingium_ Standard vinyl tends to stretch when heated but most "3D" vinyls made for wrapping are intended to be stretched cold. When heated they try to return to their original size which helps smooth out wrinkles when applied to complex shapes. So it's best to experiment with a test piece first to see how your material works or read the manufacturer recommendations.

[@user-kd4dr4rh5n]

You can use heat to pull on the vinyl but by the looks of it the vinyl he used has that fibers on the back kind of like a cloth that's used for more rigidity to keep it from tearing in the long run and you can't really stretch it since the fibers won't allow u too much so it'll work better with just vinyl that's without the fibers on the back of it.

[@lim3lif3]

@@frankthetankricard I'm afraid this headliner will start sagging in like 6 months.

[@landon390]

26:24 Best part!! Such a 🔥🔥 edit!!!!

[@hunterbrandenstein720]

I like how he just snowflaked out of control. To make it look perfect is those last 5% things that make it pop and im glad the build has gotten this far. Everything about this build has been a complete restomod and it shows that Gingium takes care in his work. Most ppl would just make it run and thatll be that but redoing the whole car just to make it look and feel good makes it all worth while in the end. Respect out to him for doing all this just to give the car away to a fan. mad respect my guy. My only request is that he needs to race it or at least take it around a track when its all done. Also some more glam footage. would love to see the car when its looking its best.

[@dgreen8388]

I believe the term you're looking for is "snowballed" but I 100% agree with this comment.

[@badabooom]

Bro. Yes. Race this beast! Theeeeen give it away.

[@J3rryTortoise]

it would be interesting to see the car be re-weighed once its finished, just to see how much weight was added since last time

[@_Gingium_]

Will definitely reweigh it once its 100% finished. I doubt it'll be much heavier, the car had these seats, carpets, etc when we last weighed it.

[@ericdraper5794]

You take on way more than most channels. Fabbing exhaust or turbo hard piping, building AN lines, water jet bracket fab, IC and fuel tanks, let alone all the chassis/suspension fab! But you even tackle interior work. This is why I love your content! Great job G!

[@chaserwilliams1]

I really didn’t think I missed my old 1st Gen Eclipse, but watching this series is definitely changing my mind. I didn’t realize how rare they had become! Searching for a good 1st Gen GSX is quite interesting.

[@Jeeplee_rc]

The mcm music cut at the end was absolutely fantastic. Them guys are hilarious.

[@dreamsun69]

Good 2 see the love you have for Aussies

[@exotichandyman]

Loved the nod to MCM… epic car channel.

[@within_cells]

This video was incredible. I started watching the channel off of a recommended link a few months ago and I'm so happy I did.

[@wowdogeful]

If you're planning to do some more fiberglass or even carbon fiber work in the future, it's usually recommended to go with epoxy resin instead of polyester resin, which is what you have. Polyester resin does have the advantage of being substantially cheaper, but in every other aspect it's inferior to epoxy resin. The main disadvantage of polyester resin is that it shrinks by a considerable amount while it's drying, while the shrinking of epoxy resin is overall less and also happens while the resin is in a state where it can still flow. Polyester resin works in this case because the headliner foam is very flexible, but if you're working on larger surfaces of a solid material, you'll likely end up with a wavy surface and might even get cracks around the edges.

[@_Gingium_]

Very good to know that, thank you! Didn’t even know there were two types of resins lol

[@davidblanck4131]

Is it too late to enter? Shout out to Moog (MCM) for the stereo test. Legend. By god, I love this build. I hope the winner loves it. This has been amazing since day 1.

[@crazygoosegarage9586]

I’m just going through the whole series now, sad because I know the demise of it. But also love how much you’re a fan the MCM boys. You and them my all time favourite KZbinrs ❤❤❤

[@admiralshikimori6960]

I love the transition from the car's speakers audio to the actual video audio with the music and cinematic shots!!! Great, even fantastic work!

[@Drunken_Hamster]

I would've tried to paint the center console and door panel carpets red. REALLY exquisite job on this interior.

[@Texburrito03]

Nice details, carrying the black through ALL the carpet. If the headliner is bothering you, put 1/4" foam under the wrap and it'll absorb the imperfections. Continued great work! Loving this build!

[@mandem9319]

The carpet came out surprisingly good!

[@tunatumer]

The interior looks awesome!

[@_Gingium_]

Glad you like it!

[@Ryan-mg7pd]

Camera mirrors are the best. My GMC truck has one from factory. Best feature ever

[@kylewise3111]

Dude what a transformation. Yet again giving me ideas for my project car lol

[@_Gingium_]

Heck yeah! Glad to be a source of some ideas!

[@2.5taylor22]

When in doubt, black it out! Lovin the black trim pieces that would have otherwise been grey!

Yessss. Mighty car mods in an American video. Up the Aussie car scene

[@itbaggedurgf]

[@cafn8ed74]

Noice! Love the black with red accents. I see that even the speakers match the theme.

[@ootoriazumi1349]

i fuckin love this mid engine conversion. all the attention paid in all the little places ppl dont usually pay attention to in the custom interior game. like how you dont just paint all of it flat black and actually put in trim cover everywhere.

Love the vid, the mcm shirts and music at the end killed it 🔥🔥 great job

[@anomamos9095]

You can make custom headliners and door cards easy using a variation on papier-mâché. You grab from a hardware store a few rolls of cardboard floor protection material. This is the stuff that gets taped down on floors to keep them from being scratched up by dirty work boots during a renovation. And some PVA glue that can be thinned with water. Method. Cut the cardboard into the shapes you need to about three layers depending on strength and thickness requirements. Soak the cardboard in a mixture of water and glue . Ratio of glue to water may vary depending on requirements and type of glue so mix up some small samples of between two parts glue to eight water and fifty fifty and seven parts glue to three water to see which will best soak the cardboard and dry to the right level of rigidity. With the pieces cut to shape and soaked in the glue drape them over the door or the back of the original roof liner then press into shape. Note you may need to put a barrier between the template and the cardboard to keep from gluing them together. Use sandbags and other soft weights to help hold the shape as the panels dry and set. Once dry you will have something very similar to oem products. Note if you choose the wrong glue nothing will stick to it properly without a suitable bonding agent.

[@redsquirrelftw]

Wow looks awesome! I think the mostly all black is actually pretty cool.

[@_Gingium_]

Yep. Mostly black with some gray & red is GOAT

[@tuktuk930]

Dude! You are doing an AMAZING job! Feel like we had some growing pains when you first moved to Georgia, but so glad you stuck it through, and glad I stuck it through as a fan!

[@thecutlemon8101]

You literally built my dream car

[@jords844]

Love the MCM song and shirt feature :)

[@multimikeish]

When rewrapping any headliner, it’s recommended to pull of the old fabric/foam and use a red scotch brite to take the rest of the foam and glue off. (If its bad u can even sand it by hand) This gets you down to the base material and you wont be gluing and putting new material ontop of old falling apart glue/whatevers left. I think this is what happened to you here and its also why most ppl have an issue when its warm and the glue falls down. More than likely not the glues fault, just unknowingly bad surface prep.

[@joem8229]

I've been watching seens the start when you were gaming on here and you would swap everything in the game. by far this car is your best work

[@brendanmatthys3788]

Gingium collab with MCM when? Come to Bra.... Australia!

Just patiently waiting for a sema build from you tbh

the ATOTO is great! i had an F7 in my last car and loved it!

[@LovelieMaki]

this car has come a long way, and i cant say that it isnt amazing, cuz god damn its so good! cant wait for the new engine to be installed!

[@lordgufi11]

for the speedo you can use a 2g speedo sensor, power it and use an aftermarket speedo

[@johny134]

Love the mighty car mods song

[@enso3140]

Not a big fan of all black interiors but that looks like it turned out Very nice. And a small tip for when dealing with trim is to get some foam tape 25x4mm and add it on the holes where the interior clips/bolts to it takes away most if not all the rattle

[@stickshiftmedia3692]

This build is turning out insane man

[@badabooom]

Bro. So. I def put you in on Donut Media to be featured for insane KZbinrs with Insane cars. You sir. Are a genius and an inspiration. In fact, many others mentioned you in Donut Media. Like a ton of people. I saw the off-road yata up close in Nashville. And it def deserves a spot, cause it's Siiiiiiiiick. including the LS Volvo, and hell this little treasure you're currently working on. Bro. Keep up the good work!

[@ATKZN]

With the way the backboard for the firewall turned out (which looked sleek and clean) I would of liked to seen you try and remake the headliner as that would bug me a lot if i was you as well as the speedometer, seeing now how awesome the rest of the interior is. Good work though mad respect for the time and effort you have put into this build. Ive been around since the og forza and subaru estate days ahaha (miss that car!) so it is crazy to see how far you have come!

[@Ballztothewqllz]

DUDEEEEE THIS VIDEO IS SO GOOD

[@gmowdsr3652]

Ayo that mighty car mod music in the back had me dead one of my favorite songs alongside one that donut Media did pop up and down headlights I play them in my car all the time

[@802Garage]

Honestly, the headliner doesn't look half bad given what you were working with. Layer of foam next time seems like it would solve most of your issues. Or just more "body work" on the panel. The interior as a whole looks phenomenal. So much custom!

[@graemescott1436]

That carpet paint actually looks like it works pretty good hmmm 🧐

[@CaptainCunter]

HEY! I know this probably won't get seen, but I just got done going through the trouble of finding the best dark grey Rust-Oleum had for my cars pillar trim. Rust-Oleum has a "chalk" paint line which has a charcoal grey. It's the darkest grey and it has a near perfect match to the satin-ish finish of car plastics. They call it ultra matte but that's definitely not true.

[@Zxchhxch]

I’m ready for more Volvo content!

[@Can_I_Kick_It]

The carpet turned out great!! The firewall looked dope too! Good job dude

[@rompdude]

I had to switch to the flap disk in my house, some coving had some like plaster built up in a corner which was pretty hard to remove, this made light work of it.

[@djmyth84]
