Never thought I'd like a convertible so much. The hard top makes it even better
People are always shocked it’s a hardtop once I put the top up haha
The amount of skill and attention to details in this video is out of this world! Fascinated by your work!
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it
Could not word it better myself, no shortcuts taken all done so flawlessly
@@haydenedward2574 thank you man appreciate that! Always try to do things to the best of my abilities
your work and this car deserves all the praise it gets. I've seen bits on socials but never saw the full amount of work you've put into it! Sensational work!
Thank you man means a ton!
Beautiful. Clean. Subtle.
Take something, make it your own.
Always loved the proportions, stance gives it presence.
Thank you man much appreciated!
Fascinated by the whole process.. Ptops to the work involved in cleaning it up so well!
Appreciate that man! Means a lot
The car is amazing. But what really impresses me is your dedication, love, and skill. Hella job man.
Thank you so much man! I definitely appreciate that.
Dude it was stick watching amazing work
Thank you man! Glad you enjoyed it
Shame on the one who left that Silvia to rot. Nice job on reviving this beauty. Love the color...❤
Thank you, I appreciate that!

Ese carro quedó feo mamá huevo
@@_nickscraig Mira sube video de p****
Sube cosas de p**** no no de carro allá se me da paja
10/10 video, work and car!
Thank you!!
As someone who does this for a living, but with much older cars, its awesome watching it happen on something so new, and seeing it done properly is great! Love the attention to detail! Wonderful job brother! How many coats of clear are you spraying before the cut and buff?
Thank you sir! I actually have been working in restoration for the last 2.5 years and finally got the chance to do one of my own!
As far as the clear, I shot it the initial time with 2 coats with flake then 2 coats on top with none, then scratch padded the whole thing and dumped 3 more on top, about a week or 2 later I blocked the whole car with 4/600 and put 3 more coats as a flow coat, then wetsand and polished. I left those steps out of this video as they all look the same and would’ve just been me spraying the car for a few minutes lol it was a ton of work to bury the flakes.
@@_nickscraig absolutely perfect! I was hoping to see those, but I definitely understand the repetitiveness of clearing, nothing really changes during those coats, other than orange peel flowing out. I've been painting now for 20+ years, started when I was 14, and never stopped. Mainly do old hotrods though... I might be the only one thats wanted to watch the clear coat! 😂 Either way, very talented after that short of time! Keep killin it, glad to see the profession being taught properly.
It's rare to come across a convertible s15, like this one.
Brooo! That's CLEAN❤
Thank you man!!
Yooo, i just know that s15 had the cabrio one, so sick..
That's a SICK Ride!
Thank you 🙏🏼
Sheeeeshhh That paint is awsome😍
Thank you man!
you are like an artist working on a car, i appreciate your talent
Thank you!
I’ve never wanted a convertible until seeing this, it’s absolutely stunning with the top up and top down.
Thank you sir I really appreciate that! Certain angles I like the top up more tbh
Dude, this car is just sick, i shocked completly when i found out the car was a Verietta S15, amazing work
Thanks! A lot of people don’t know they made these!
WWWW I’ve always wanted a s15 so jealous (great work on the car it is so clean and love what you did to it)
Thank you!
This is beyond dope af
Thank you dude!
nice work man, going to Florida was a big move super cool, cant wait to see what the future holds 🤘✌
Thank you buddy! Honestly was one of the coolest experiences of my life, totally worth it
Nicely done Varietta...
Appreciate that!
Never seen a drop top Silvia before this is wild🤙🏾
Thanks man! They’re pretty rare just over 1100 made.
Dude you killer I take my hat you.
Unbelievable Craftsman Sick japoness
Car 🎩🎩
Brilliant!!!!work never even there were convertible S15s also where did you purchase that flake to add in the clear
Thanks man! Yeah they are rather rare with just over 1000 made. The flake I used is made by a company called “paint huffer metallics” on Instagram
You will quickly have millions of views! Awesome work
Hahah I’m not sure about that but I’m definitely surprised it’s even gone this high, thanks!

Thanks man I always try to do things “the right way” but everyone has their own opinion of what that means hahah
Brother this is insane
Thank you man!
you're so insane - this was so good
Thank you homie, means a lot coming from you🥺
Absolutely beautiful
Appreciate that!
Your work is amazing keep it up🎉❤
Thank you!!
This is amazing work. Especially do it all by yourself. Any recommendations on the best way to learn how to do all that, painting, welding, etc, everything you did in the video?
Thank you! Honestly I’ve been doing this type of work for about 9-10 years now, easiest way to learn is to just do yourself and practice with small stuff man! I try to show a lot of the processes and some tips in my videos so if youre interested try checking my other videos out
A hardtop/droptop Silvia?? Incredible man it’s gorgeous 💯
Thank you man much appreciated!!
Lol holy shit seeing this pop up on my main feed a month later with this much exposure. Congrats Nick
It’s so crazy to me hahah thanks man!!
Some cars are not worth restoring this most certainly isn't one of them. Beautiful car and I'm a sucker for convertibles especially with a retractable hardtop
I had no clue there were s15 convertibles!
Only about 1100 of them made! Haha

CARROS ROXOS
RODAS BRANCAS 💡
My s14 used to have white faces and I loved it!
Man I wish they had these in the states lol
Awesome work! How much does it costs for materials?
Thanks! This was a little over 3k in materials, a lot of clear coat went onto the car to bury the flake.
15のオープンやんけ！
最高やな
I need you to do my Nissan s14 240 sx se just like that with the same purple color good job 👍
Did not know these came in convertible
Крутейший проект, особенно сделанный в одиночку. Респект тебе, друг
Thank you, much appreciated!
this is my dream car too, i know nothing about fixing cars tho, if i can ever buy thid car i cant even fix something but my dream is to buy an s15 and built it too i am so glad for you
Thank you man! There’s a lot of these around in great shape without needing much work, but they’ll cost you quite a bit in that condition haha
@@_nickscraig i hope i can buy one in the future
Convertible S15 ! With hard top !
Красавчик так сделал сливу круто!!!
I didnt even know these existed. Hard top convertable?
About 1100 of them!
Dope!!!
What wheels these are sick
Weds Cerberus 1!
whats the yellow paste he puts on the car and what’s it do
Why does it look like he makes paper mashay (ik its spelt wrong but u get the idea) for form work or something?
cheers
The yellow paste is body filler, it’s used to fill in lower areas after metal work has been completed in damaged and repaired areas, the other stuff I believe you’re referring to is fibreglass mat and resin to build custom shapes and then finish with body filler again to smooth it out
Thanks!
@@_nickscraig cheers man i really appreciate it
Did the s15 release a convertible? Especially hard top?! I had no idea!!
Good work and well done. I'd love that.
I'm just amazed they made a convertible....
Or was that you? Im in the UK so commenters no laughing at me for lack of knowledge. Otherwise. Middle finger on things i may know that you don't....ahem....anyway.
Yessir they only made about 1100 of them and were only sold in Japan, autech was responsible for these cars much like many other rare Nissan models!
@@_nickscraig learn something new everyday. I'm 40 - and today i drive a Peugeot 3008 mk 1.6 turbo diesel 110hp. It gets 69mpg. Ive traded rpm fir mpg!! Sad...but true. This is what happens when you become boomer
.. but don't let what i drive make you think I'm clueless. 20 years ago to the day i owned a 200sx (not 240sx, USA for once got shafted with that Nissan stanza engine) tuned by norris designs. I absolutely loved the s13, 14 and the 15! I will link a video with not all, but most of the decent cars I've owned in the next comment.
Enjoy.
@@_nickscraig here....
And if you are bored or curious what cars are like over here, i have a playlist section called "magnitude car takes"
Anyway many thanks for the reply

Rare s15 😍
Great music
Whats the purpose of putting that yellowish paste and then removing it? (learning)
I believe you’re referring to the body filler, it is spread on in low/wavy areas then blocked down flat to leave only what is needed to make a panel straight again
Brutal
👏👏👏
How’d you get it in the US? Was it like how people bought illegal 32’s a few years ago?
Yeah I know stupid question now that I’ve watched some of the video I noticed the 34 so I’m assuming you’ve been an importing cars to the US for a while
I’m in Canada man hahah we get everything 10 years before the states
Lol lucky
What is longer, the hood or the trunk lid? LoL
Nice work man.
Hahah I’m actually not sure, had them both off and the trunk is definitely heavier😂
I am just learning today that these came in a hardtop convertible.
Nem sabia q tinha s15 conversível brabo d mais
They are pretty rare at just 1100 made!
This is name s15 Varietta.
Need someone like you for my rx7
You offer lessons on fiberglass work? I need some educationals… great damn job!
Hahah not quite lessons, but I’ve posted a few full videos of me doing the fiberglass work on this car if you car to take a look back in my channel a little
Thanks man! Appreciate that
very nice :)
Thanks!
Did you really make your own body kit?
Front bumper I heavily modified, sides I did extensive fiberglass to get to fit to the body how I wanted, I hand built the spoiler and the rear seat cover!
