I was so busy that I missed out on watching this video. Definitely glad I got to see it before I forgot.

[@mark_kulakov]

Saaaaaal! I bought a car!!!!!!!! You were one of the many ppl that inspired me to keep moving and achieve what I’ve always wanted!

[@SpiritDriven]

Mark dude congrats! Whatd you get man!?

[@mark_kulakov]

@@SpiritDriven a 98 260rs. Nissan stagea!!!!!!!

[@kevinprice2141]

Looks good. Pull those seat belts and hit them with some carpet cleaner and a pressure washer. It’s magic.

[@SpiritDriven]

Actually we got new seatbelts made for the car!

[@notthe1_orthe2]

I have a 95M too and would love a quick video on reinstalling the knee plate. I need to put mine back on too!

[@SpiritDriven]

@@notthe1_orthe2 wish I could of had a better fix to it but it was too janky of a “mod” to make a video on :( If you send pictures of the panel and show which part is broken I might be able to help @86goals

[@JohnDoe-je3cr]

loving the series!!

[@SpiritDriven]

Thanks for the love!! 💪🏼

[@T12i99iN]

Those interior plastics went from ashy to classy!! BTW did it taste like a brand new car too? LOL

[@SpiritDriven]

So much nicer huh! Big improvement 👍🏼 As far as taste I’d say yes, tastes like premium leather siding 😂

[@9847tristan]

Watched your maaco videos a few weeks back and just happened on this video. Love all the DIY content

[@SpiritDriven]

Thanks for the support dude! Welcome back 🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@TuurboNinja23]

Looks killer! The little details make all the difference

[@SpiritDriven]

Thanks so much Super happy with the way interior is coming together 🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@ibraheemmonks8866]

Any idea if its possible to spray paint the interior trim with a different colour? My nc has a black interior but I'd love to spray paint it a tan colour instead but not sure how hard it would be.

[@lexia9549]

Its coming along great!! Im excited to see even more progress

[@SpiritDriven]

Yeaaaah! Super stoked on it Next video coming up is gonna really change the interior up a lot

[@ZackNakazora1]

The new belts will be huge too any swap from grimey to timey is huge

[@SpiritDriven]

Timey 😂 love it Can’t wait for it all to be done

[@LarryHopper]

Nice work. It will be interesting to see how well the painted plastics hold up.

[@thejasonrk]

if you do it correctly and use the adhesion promotor( which I didnt see them do) SEM color coat lasts forever and isnt really paint, its more like a dye that bonds with the plastic.

[@mrrevival6565]

Great job on the interior paint/restoration 🤙🏼

[@SpiritDriven]

Thank you brotha!!

[@juanescoto6207]

Amazing video brotha can’t wait for the upcoming videos 🔥🔥🔥

[@SpiritDriven]

Thanks Juan! Yo you might need this stuff for the BMW bud! 😂

[@RockinMarcus85]

Looking nice!

[@SpiritDriven]

Thanks! Super happy with it 🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@sssssss5262]

Hey loving the content!!! But question!! Where do you purchase the knee plate?

[@SpiritDriven]

I believe it was redline360? Or treasure coast miata

[@brunocristan7047]

Dope vids! So i read that SEM camel color 15173 is better match for my 94 m edition (just got first miata). Do you know how many versions of tan there are? Im curious if mine is same as yours or a darker color.

[@SpiritDriven]

I think they only have 1 tan Just depends on the year Worst thing that happens is you hate it and respray to a darker tone I was very happy with the camel I’m going to respray all of my tan in our NB2 build as well!

[@alexyang3638]

Love your video man! My NA miata's center console's plastic coating is peeling off should I sand it down first then paint them?

[@SpiritDriven]

Thanks dude! I would do a suuuper fine sanding job on the center console Maybe even like a scotch red pad Enough to knock the plastic coating off but not enough to put any scratches into the plastic

[@alexyang3638]

@@SpiritDriven Thank you for the suggestions man! Kepp up the good work. I recently just got my first miata and your videos have been helping a lot!!

[@aaronjones5048]

I just gutted my new-to-me 95 Miata and cleaned SO MUCH dirt out of it and took screenshots of the end shots in this video so I can figure out where to put all the trim pieces back 😂

[@SpiritDriven]

Love to hear the dedication!! It’s gonna smell way better too I promise lol

[@mikaellefebvre1958]

Hey! Did you end up reinstalling the knee plate? I have the same problem and still looking for a solution.

[@SpiritDriven]

Unfortunately never found a good fix Rebuilt the plastic but would fall off every couple weeks

[@detomazio915]

Has it hold up good or there is peeling and cracking?

[@SpiritDriven]

Held up very nicely! Very durable

[@LuisRidesABike]

What ended up being the solution for mounting the knee plate? Mine also have broken tabs on the bottom…

[@SpiritDriven]

Ended up not working well enough to talk about I was able to throw a ziptie around my broken tab Not worthy enough for a tutorial haha

[@Kj-bi4xy]

That meatcanyon clip was out of pocket lmao

[@SpiritDriven]

So glad someone said something 😂

[@torkster90]

Good stuff

[@SpiritDriven]

Da best 👌🏼👌🏼

[@jjchockey]

So is this kind of a rubberized paint like they put on many German cars from the factory? I wonder how it will hold up over time.

[@SpiritDriven]

As long as you do multiple coats it’s very durable But it isn’t a rubber texture Still keeps the plastic panels the same texture

[@PatientXer0]

Is there a graceful way to get the plastic end caps for the cockpit brace off? (If that's what it's called, the horiz bar behind the seats) Every video I watch they just say "pop off these caps" then look @ it funny and it falls off. Not wanting to break mine.

[@SpiritDriven]

Lol unfortunately no

[@PatientXer0]

@@SpiritDriven lol, I just now managed to "pop them off" without doing too much damage. I feel like a flat interior trim tool with a gap on the end might have worked. Unfortunately mine didn't have a big enough gap. Thanks for the quick reply! I just got a 95 and your videos are the best ones I've seen.

[@SpiritDriven]

@@PatientXer0 much appreciated man! Glad you got it off tho, and welcome to the family! 🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@scarface8806]

How does it come out after you use any detail conditioner on it?

[@SpiritDriven]

No need to use that stuff personally I like material with zero sheen

[@scarface8806]

@@SpiritDriven I have product that doesn’t leave sheen on it, mainly do it for hydrating the material.

[@SpiritDriven]

@@scarface8806 should work fine 👍🏼

[@ryand3933]

You can find the stuff to reapolster the seets in miatas for like 100 bucks

[@sosokilla9770]

How many cans would you say I should get?

[@SpiritDriven]

2 cans should be good It’s got good coverage

[@sandraaugier1484]

looks sick! What do you have planned for the seats ?

[@SpiritDriven]

Probably going to just reupholster the original seats because apparently these seats are “rare”

[@travdripdrip382]

If only y'all knew where to get new seat belts or our old ones refurb'd. Cuz mine r faded n crusty. Looks like a new car in there guys. Right on

[@SpiritDriven]

Thanks dude! Love how it’s coming out And once we actually go thru the whole process of getting new belts we’ll be sure to have it up for the channel 🤘🏼

[@travdripdrip382]

@@SpiritDriven sounds awesome!!

Also...4:19... Was that Greek I heard? Greetings from athens

[@SpiritDriven]

It was not hahah but hello!!! 👋🏼

[@Bakaroons]

wtf was the previous owner smoking? breaking interior plastic tabs for weight reduction? Surely that'll make it a racecar lol

[@SpiritDriven]

I mean idk if he did it on purpose or not But all that matters is that it’s getting back to its former glory 🤘🏼💪🏼
