The Car That Nobody Wanted | MIRA RESTORATION FINALE

[@mightycarmods]

The finale of the MIRA features a brand new song by MOOG titled 'Bullet' Featuring Erin Clare (erindotmusic) Thanks for supporting indie music - We hope you like it! music.apple.com/au/album/bullet-feat-erin/1478605318?i=1478605320

Life couldn't get any better than mcm and a beer, you guys have saved my life. Keep it up:)

[@Myztek26]

I got chills from the opening speech. Almost teared hearing how much you love the mira

[@ScottSherrington]

Congrats on getting her finished Marty! I love the new track Moog, Erin has a wonderful voice👍

[@budcon2861]

I genuinely love the soundtrack of the videos! Are you's going to release it?

[@shanelynn7830]

great song

[@BuiltByBlake]

Bloody hell Marty. I know you always talk about telling the story. And this is up there with the best. This is why MCM are so far ahead of everyone else. No one actually puts this type of production effort into youtube. Bloody well done lads.

[@CarBuildNewZealand]

I have put this much effort in to a video but KZbin algorithm is harsh and doesn't show mercy , I made a video telling my story about my crash on my channel I think its stuck though

[@elijahherman]

Gears and gasoline does similar storytelling and production.

[@goosesgarage6666]

Ed Bolian needs to get Marty on Vinwiki to tell this story

[@BuiltByBlake]

Just had a look at some of your vids mate. They are solid, keep at it. I'm similar, I put what I consider is a fair bit of effort into my videos. But MCM are just in a league of their own, these guys are deep diving generations of cars to understand the history, they are mixing and mastering songs to suit videos, their post production is something you'd expect from a short film festival entrant. Honestly most viewers probably don't even grasp the time and effort in these videos.. ..they just know they look dope 😅

[@Dunki113]

Just listening to Marty's story just makes me want to get my dream car and just experience this magical feeling of putting so much time and effort into something and achieving the most satisfying feeling of hearing it start for the first time and being ready to hit the streets

[@cudak888]

One of the best MCM cars ever. It's not even because of the car - it's the story OF the Mira that makes it special. A story that - thanks to MCM - we've all been a part of, if only in the digital wings. Bravo, gentlemen.

[@deeredude]

Seeing the both of you in the Nugget smiling again made the wait of the build worth it. This is what it's all about, the journey, the friendships, taking a Nugget and making it your own. This is the best car related KZbin channel. Good vibes all around.

[@1beanz9]

You have to absolutely love the final videos if each build. They're like Windows into Marty and Moogs heart so that we can all learn to love each car as well

[@p3th3t1c]

It took me 8 years to restore my 1967 El Camino by myself, I replaced 2 quarter panels, rear window sheet metal, both drip rails the upper dash and the whole front clip plus rebuilding the rest of the frame and drive train. During this time I was a long haul truck driver, I left my house Saturday morning and got home Wednesday afternoon every week and took a whole 4 days off for Thanksgiving and X-mas. I Drove a Geo Metro (Suzuki Swift) back and forth from the yard 80 miles away. When you find that one car its amazing the sacrifices you will go through to get her done. Congrats Marty, Enjoy!

[@TCTC7373]

I keep rewatching this build series because it inspires me with my AE86 build. It's old, Japanese, rusty yet has so much potential. I have learnt so much from this build series and it's reassuring to know that the path is the same for those who are building a car to this extent. It also gives me hope knowing that if we keep chipping away at it, it will flourish into something great, especially if your car is in pieces and you question whether if it was all worth it. Thank you MCM and Thank you Mira for being so transparent and realistic about what it is like to build/restore a car. Congratulations on the result!

Guys you always manage to encapsulate why we are all car lovers. The bond between a man and his car and the friendships and relationships that come from owning that car is truly what the enthusiast community is about! Its not making the most power or driving as fast as possible or even showing off, it's about what that lump if engineered metal (or scrap) can be and how the process if growing with it makes you feel. Thanks for the amazing videos, keep em coming

[@ourhaus9164]

That is a beautiful car. I like it more than half the SEMA builds I've seen over the years.

[@iamstd2]

Honestly there's no art in most SEMA cars just slap on a bunch of name brand parts and call it good.

[@bustersgarage]

The massive difference is the product of long and arduous effort, developing into the creamy refinement of what is in your heart and mind vs. a quick and dirty soulless lump of instant gratification.

@@bustersgarage to the point... i grew up in a time when it was all about spending days and weeks in the garage to make your car something special, for your self with your own hands... and this is exactly why i´d call this Mira a piece of art :) yes, children, there is still Magic in this world... it´s just hidden behind alot of plastic and add-screens :)

11:10 - I love how philosophical Moog gets. Where Marty was talking about how worthless the car would be to someone else if he was to sell it, Moog's like "but think about how much you put into it - and how valuable is it to YOU?"

It's about understanding that transcending connection between a person and a machine after 100's of hours of combined life experience. I've been an MCM fan/subscriber literally from the beginning and these 12 minutes and 25 seconds are your greatest work, hands down. Marty, congratulations. You've earned every bit of enjoyment you get with from that car.

There's no time to learn like now, buy the cheapest POS on eBay and start stripping bits off, cleaning them up and putting them back on. The only reason to not learn how to fix cars is if you are too disabled to try, I just got my Mazda 323 GLXI through another MOT by replacing a couple of brake pipes, the lower ball joints on the front suspension and paying the garage to weld up the sill ends. All it takes is time and maybe a haynes manual to get you started.
