Widebody Miata Build. Part 2: Starting the bodywork.

[@darcysimpson3065]

No talk. No putting it on for the camera. Just pure content. Love the effort put into the bodywork. Can definitely tell you care about the car

[@juliankalina]

[@pixys6856]

Same here haha

[@grape9306]

Really happy to have found your channel at the very beginning, judging by these two videos I can tell you’re gonna grow to be a great content creator. Looking forward to future uploads and seeing this build completed!

[@TwoHandStan]

Oh yeah I completely agree, this guy is awesome. The editing is very nice and he has some good camera angles.

[@TofuAutoWorks]

Hi everyone, sorry for the wait but part 2 is finally up! I tried a making this video a little shorter so let me know what you prefer. Should I make these videos shorter like this one or even longer in the future? And again, if you like you can hit the CC button and get some optional subtitles on what's happening in the video. Hope you enjoy the video!

[@DIYTuning]

Video length is perfect I think. Your work and video's looks professional man, keep it up!

Beautiful and peaceful. It will be a beautiful machine! :D

[@konty8046]

Get this man more followers, and a pair of shoes and shocks😂 love it

[@TofuAutoWorks]

NEVER! haha. If I had shoes on how would I find all the sharp bits of metal on the floor? Rather puncture my feet than my tyres amiright

[@konty8046]

@@TofuAutoWorks in that case... ure right:D

[@TwoHandStan]

I just ordered a hard top and leather seats for my 90 miata

[@biggboysouth]

Thought it was worth asking so here goes. Would you just like, give me those?

[@TwoHandStan]

@@biggboysouth haha if you give me what I gave for them 😄

[@pixys6856]

When will you post the next video? I love this car

[@TofuAutoWorks]

Definitely going to try and have Part 3 up a little faster this time. I'm starting to figure out what I'm doing now with this video software haha

[@edventures9884]

Love it

[@xDannyBeats]

Glad I’m not the only one doing bodywork barefoot 😂

[@bcp_towing]

Enjoying your vids but could you put what grade paper your using during the sanding process. Apart from that great filming. 👍🏽😎

[@TofuAutoWorks]

That's a good point, I'll make sure to add that in the subtitles! When there's a lot of body filler and I just need to get it down fast, I use very coarse 40 grit, then go up to 60 and 80 grit. This is usually for shaping more than small repairs like I've done here. Normally I'll just block sand with 120 grit, and then once the hand sanding is done I'll go over the whole panel with 240 grit on the DA sander before priming. The high-build primer I use will hide down to 120 grit marks, but some epoxy / surface primers will only cover 240 grit, so as a habit I usually just take the panels down to 240.

[@bcp_towing]

@@TofuAutoWorks thank you so much for your informative reply. 👍🏽😎

[@marlonc5778]

The speedhuntes is coming in next episode😁😁

[@mercuryrcdrift9279]

Good job👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼😂🇩🇪

[@Funbgs2]

I may be in the minority. But I kinda like it alot with the fenders cut out.

[@z_zenkki]

Wait is this your custom kit?

[@TofuAutoWorks]

yup, kit is designed and built by me right here in New Zealand.

[@z_zenkki]

@@TofuAutoWorks hot damn imma need to get me one of these some day

[@TofuAutoWorks]

@@z_zenkki Cheers mate. I'm working on getting my website back up and running but I sell them world wide.

[@z_zenkki]

@@TofuAutoWorks awesome. Love the vids man keep them coming!

[@juliansilva2509]

👏👏

[@rh2racing]

What are your wheel specs?

[@TofuAutoWorks]

The wheels on this one are 16x9 et-25 with 25mm bolt on hub-centering adapters. Pretty heavy offset if it were a daily, but I have other vehicles for that.

[@rh2racing]

@@TofuAutoWorks I'm working on mine and have 15x9s 0 offset and hoping it'll be enough for my flares. I don't think they are as wide as yours but I'm thinking I'll need spacers too. Keep up the great work. Bodywork is tough.

[@TofuAutoWorks]

@@rh2racing There's a great website to check wheel offsets www.willtheyfit.com. The kit was designed for a very slight poke on my 15x10 et-50 wheels. You can compare your current wheels and the ones I've used to show if you can get away with spacers or not.

[@Xvinfajtr]

Mate you are walking around BAREFOOT!? Put on some shoes please. Otherwise great videos get them going!

[@TofuAutoWorks]

Haha. This is New Zealand, barefoot is where it's at! Don't worry though, I wear my jandals when I need to . Cheers mate 👍
