I'm impressed with the process. I am thinking of doing this method of the wet layer for my car. You guys make it easy and thank you for your video. I enjoyed watching it.
Another great video, Im enjoying seeing a Micra like my grandad had being built. With regards to the cost bit at the end, it amazes me the amount of people who think that time costs nothing! Thinking that they can get a carbon roof for £100 because they can buy the materials from Easy Composites for £100, not realising that it takes a days work for you which is you living. I get asked if I can supply wings for "cost price", they are cost price, the cost or materials + the cost of the time to make them. Hopefully soon I'll pass the background checks to get CF 350z panels made!
Ideally a roof... to lower the gravity center! And a hood and front wings to lower the weight on the front of the car! I will probably change my front wings for fiber ones a day!! But when 😅... When my 02M gearbox will be fixed & approved^^
Ruski, could you link to the carbon you use and all the stuff you use? I'm looking to do some wings, bonnet, boot and bumpers on my project :) love the work you do
awesome work mate think the glanza needs a carbon roof now if i was giz id block in the the back window holes nice and smooth and do the whole rear carbon skinned you have the roll cage for stiffness so no worries there make it look like a carbon micra van lol
For a wet layup like this, it's typically 50% resin to Carbon, so try to match the quantity of mixed resin, plus 10%, to the weight of your cut carbon. You'll be wiping/pushing much of it off the carbon as you press it into it. As long as the weave is wet throughout, you're good.
@@RuskiWeldFab I have a '94 SAAB 9000 Aero project, so the curves are pretty simple. I have a small piece of rust on the fender arch that I was going to have replaced, but an entire quarter panel in carbon would be much better IMO. Since it's a SAAB I worry about damaging bits and not being able to retain the factory parts or get factory replacements. Definitely want to have her lose some weight, and improve aero.
F1 cars are not mint when you get close up to them trust me. Tape all over them covering things and things glued on, I even have parts of a couple of them and they are not as perfect as you would think
@@RuskiWeldFab When i know you are at Cadwell again i will pop along and bring the bits i have so you can have a look. :) And you are doing a awesome job as always keep the videos coming

Great stuff you both have a lot of skill very entertaining to watch
Glad you enjoyed it
This channel is really good! Deserves more subs
thanks. feel free to share and watch more ;)
Que agregas antes de poner la fibra de carbono? Para poder despegarla de la pieza original??? GRACIAS!! Excelente trabajo! Saludos de Mexico

Well knowledable wow fantastic work I'd be interested in a roof skin only for a bmw 2011 e92 328i 🎉🎉🎉🎉
If you squint it’s mint!
2m rule applies
If you blind it’s fine
So at this point rigidity is handled mostly by the cage, correct?
to be fair original roof doesnt relly add much anyways. its the pillars that do the structural mainly
The "Wait for the noise!" @ 9:09! Do love the stuff at Bad Obsessions.
If only they could make videos more often 😔
Great job! Got to make the MINI all carbon now 😁
Go for it!
I would love to have carbon parts on the mk4 GTI tracktoy 🥰😎
Great job mate! As usual 🤘
Cheers. What parts do you have in mind?
Ideally a roof... to lower the gravity center!
And a hood and front wings to lower the weight on the front of the car!
I will probably change my front wings for fiber ones a day!! But when 😅...
When my 02M gearbox will be fixed & approved^^
Awesome job Ilya, looks great 👍🏽
Thank you! Cheers!
Can you do a carbon fiber roof for an f21 bmw m140 oem spec? Thanks
in theory yes. but i try to avoid OEM. i make them light. for oem it must be heavy etc.
Ruski, could you link to the carbon you use and all the stuff you use? I'm looking to do some wings, bonnet, boot and bumpers on my project :) love the work you do
In the description mate. just added.
When you wet layer on top of something such as this, wouldnt the new piece be slightly bigger? Do you just trim to make it fit?
the part is bigger only by the thickness of the carbon itself in most cases does not exceed 1mm.
@RuskiWeldFab That makes sense, I thought it would have been way more. Thank you!
awesome work mate think the glanza needs a carbon roof now
if i was giz id block in the the back window holes nice and smooth and do the whole rear carbon skinned you have the roll cage for stiffness so no worries there
make it look like a carbon micra van lol
i dont think this would be allowed. must have rear glass. people had issues in the past blocking them off as well. unless its a van from factory.
@@RuskiWeldFab damn racing regs spoil all the fun lol
so no rear plexi ??
no plexi you can use. i mean it has to be see through
@@RuskiWeldFab thinnest sheet of plexy you can get away with and carbon rear end would be the nutts
I love your work man
hahaha turkish cook style at 4:32.
I wish i could have your skills to make parts for my MR-S 😓
haha you the only guy who spotted that haha
Love watching your videos you've inspired me, I've seen which product your use I've skinned a few small items just wondered how much resin you used
I'm so glad!

Hi,
Where do you get your carbon cloth from? Thanks
Check description
Is it possible to make a fender mold without ruining the fender itself?
Yes absolutely! Greatly depends on the complexity though

This a quick way for fuctional things and not look way.
indeed
@@RuskiWeldFab but id you put a lot of work i dont think it would be bad you inspired e to try it
Knock knock. Anybody there? :)
Good job. However I don't like matte carbonfiber roof panels on cars even if they are tuned for race.
can be made shiny with extra coating of resin and laquer
@@RuskiWeldFab Yes of course it can easily be made shiny. not hard that.
Hello! Rear wing carbon. Its possible?
anything is possible!
Need a few crx roofs
can be arranged
🔥
agree
First!
Boom!
Top job :D
cheers!
What the name glue cf
🤟
6.8kg?
Very easy to underestimate haha
Fucking mint all the way from Jamaica lol
Standard 6.4kg carbon 1.2kg.
Bit off 😂
just a bit. 😅
F1 cars are not mint when you get close up to them trust me. Tape all over them covering things and things glued on, I even have parts of a couple of them and they are not as perfect as you would think
Well I said mint cos I never been close to one I guess haha. And at shows they probably don’t use real cars
@@RuskiWeldFab When i know you are at Cadwell again i will pop along and bring the bits i have so you can have a look. :) And you are doing a awesome job as always keep the videos coming
Did i miss what weight the fabrics were, ive must of watched this 10 times or more haha
