Welcome, don't get me wrong, I totally agree with you and I think that this is a car that is just brilliant even if it's left untouched. But on the other hand, I like to keep my self busy, plus I really believe that at the end this car will have a totally different feel to it. The 13" definitely fit diameter wise, but if you use steels you most probably will need spacers as they won't clear the caliper carrier, I think with alloys you'll have no problem.

@@CamilSofrag the car hasn't got scrapped and you've got an interesting project for yourself and us all to enjoy, and that's what matters

@@Agu_RaI'm so caught up with editing that I've forgot it landed on the side :))

@@CamilSofrag well, that's how mr2s are supposed to land 🤣 Happened to me as well, but it's been repaired since. Bolt-on quarter panels did also help with that, such a thoughtful design from Toyota, brings me pure joy seeing you easily swap yours in previous videos

@@Agu_Ra oh no, at least you got it fixed

Yay! Thank you!

Welcome, which part of the build you didn't think you would like? I do use guide coat but it depends on the surface, if it's a fairly big surface I can get away without the guide coat. The next video I think it will have a few shots how I use a guide coat. It will get a lot more interesting along the way And last, I'm glad that you like it, whatever it is you like :).

Hi, that's a great question, it was a deliberate choice due to the cross country theme but more then that, I wanted a satin look and painted and not wrapped. Maybe the camera doesn't do justice, but I've sprayed it in such a way that it doesn't look like bedliner paint anymore and in my opinion it does look high-end, funny enough now Lamborghini actually has a similar colour on the Sterrato. When I'll have the car put back together, we can both make a better idea on how it looks like and if you have a really good point and I made the wrong choice.

@@CamilSofrag I hope it looks good in the light and you are happy with it, as i bet it would be a real pig to remove. I am also a fan of a satin finish, but its not an easy luster for the average person that doesn't have high end guns and spray booth.

@@NathanNostaw my setup is modest to say the least, and my tools not only that are very old, but they are the absolute cheapest as well, so I don't think I had any other option. I sprayed matte top coat many years ago and I remember I struggled with it. As for this car, for the moment I am loving it and I'll have my final thoughts when it's finished

@@CamilSofrag I once paid decent money for a matt finish on a motorbike. It was significantly more expensive than gloss. The clear coat goes down easier, is more forgiving and can be cut and polished when done it needed or desired. Matt clear coat is also a much more expensive paint. The experienced painter told me the highest end matt paint jobs are done in gloss and then hand cut back to an even matt finish with wet and dry paper. Hardly a quick or simple job, especially on a whole car.

@@NathanNostaw I never thought of getting a matte finish by sanding down but now that you've mentioned it I can totally see it done, maybe on a future project I can try this

Welcome to the channel. Thank you for the support, it really helps :)

Thank you, ok, I will try to detail a bit more in future videos.

Welcome to the build !!

Thank you, working hard on the next one :)

Thanks!!

Thank you, yes, I'm planning to supercharge it, therefor I will make a complete new intake and full exhaust, because I'm planning to improve the engine sound dramatically

@CamilSofrag Great I will wait to see it I love to see unique cars and special jobs like this one!!!!

Thanks! :)

So am I... after I finish an episode I'm like crossing a finish line :))

Thank you, Raptor is very durable, but I have to say, I don't know how durable is going to be now because I've reduced it a lot, but at least I love how it looks :)

I do that, even tough it didn't make it in this video. When I started to sand my first car and the guy that was teaching me told me to use a guide coat, I said ok, when he returned all the panels were completely black :)))

To be honest, I didn't know what to expect, especially because I had the paint for 3 years and got misplaced and stored in a green house, worst place ever. But it turned out really good

I do have my moments of doubt and sometimes do small alterations. But if I'm excited about a project on paper, I try to stick with that, because probably it will turn out better than I've imagined

Right !? I love the green but if I don't bring accents, I think the car will look dull and cheap.

@CamilSofrag doing a great job man!

Well my idea was to have the exterior looking rough, but still stylish. It is Raptor but the texture is minimal, if it's still going to be durable, I have no idea, but it turned out how I wanted with the satin shine

Thank you, I'm glad you like my videos. It's a new channel and for some reason YT is presenting my videos to a limited amount of people even tough my statistics are showing me great numbers, great numbers for YT. Because I got hacked a few years ago and I was unable to recover my social media I'm just hoping that people will like, subscribe and most importantly share. Eventually it will pick up, I am sure of it, or at least I hope so.

I was really under pressure to get the car ready for the upcoming show and I was afraid that because of thinning the paint so much it's going to show imperfections. For the headlights I made a very weird choice, I'll see if it's going to be my final version or I'm going to change the plan a bit. More custom stuff are coming :)

Thank you and welcome to the channel. I'm glad that I managed to change your opinion :)

@CamilSofrag As Chris from B is for build says you have to trust the process and the concept. 😄

@@victordinev5229 From my experience, it is always good to have a bit of doubt in everything I do, but this time I'm liking this :)

Thank you, I got a bit delayed but it's here now, I'm glad you've enjoyed it :)

Even tough everybody gets inspiration from everywhere, I try not to copy but apply my own style, even tough it is maybe my 7th MR2 build, every single one was different...

@@CamilSofrag amazing!!

There is still a long way to go, but we'll get there :)

The overall wheel diameter is going to be exactly the same, I don't know if they are going to be heavier, but on all my projects I try to improve everything. I have the Yamaha 2ZZ on my white MR2, I'm planning to make a video about that one as well because it is a bit different. As for this one, I plan to supercharge it. I really want the supercharger whine

@@CamilSofrag oh wow, now I’m really keen on seeing how it turns out! Supercharger is a great decision!

@@AinioTH-cam I think so as well, it won't be straight forward but if everything goes well, it should be whining at the end

I was sick lately, just a cold, but a brave one, so I couldn't edit for a couple of days... But it's great to see that you're eager, the project will get better :)

Yeeees, come to the dark side, we have cookies :), In the next episode I'll do the wheels, let me know then what do you think :)

Cool, I was thinking about a roller as well but I thought that it might be easier to spray it, I wanted the paint to have just a bit of texture and to be honest when I saw it the next morning, it was a big relief, because just after I painted it I was panicking a bit :))

You're right, but I didn't know how it's going to cover since I had no experience with Raptor and also I reduced it 50% more than the maximum recommended by them. I didn't want to take any chances

Isn't the purpose of that bed liner to be wear resistant and hide the scratches over itself with texture. Yes, it hides imperfections under, but this is a byproduct of the thick paint. And why not make a perfect surface for paint? This is a good way to improve skills.

I’ve used Raptor. It doesn’t cover scratches as well as you might think. This was a good job. 👍

@@CurboroughSprinter Pfff, this is such a reassurance because, there were so many times when I was thinking that I am over doing the prepping, I even have it filmed somewhere but it didn't make it on the video. I just didn't wanted to take any chances so I just prepped like I always do

​@CamilSofrag when it comes to painting any car prep is key and there is no such thing as too much prep

Coming soon!

Thank you, I can't wait to see it back together :)

Thank you for the tip, this is something that I usually try to do, but I must admit, when I am putting way to many hours, I tend to leave everything as they are and just go to rest. I'm glad that you're enjoying what I'm doing and it will get more interesting.

Thanks! Will do!

Welcome to the channel, I'm glad that you are enjoying this and thank you for the support :)

1310 :)

I will, it will be slightly different from a stock 2

Thank you, the next episode is going to be colorful :))

Welcome to the channel, yes, the fecelift version

Thank you, eventually I did burnout, but also I was working non stop and because I didn't post, I had no idea if someone is going to like what I am building or not. After I started to post and I have so many supporting messages, it really helps and I feel like you are pushing me to carry on which is great but because it is a lot of work and the majority is not in the garage but in front of the laptop. So thank you again for the support and yes the project is coming along really nice :)

@CamilSofrag great to hear that! You got great things ahead of you!!

Thank you, I have a plan already for the lights as well, I don't know how it will turn out but it is going to be definitely very different :))

Welcome, thank you for the support, I am eager as well :)

Success !!! :)

The exhaust will come out trough the central opening, but I am so excited about the exhaust that I'm going to build for this... The rear it is definitely going to get better and better in stages/layers, like an onion :)
