In the first part of this video, where the car is at the bodyshop, I was not always there when it happened, but I still decided to include it, by showing you pictures and images of it happening, since some other miata owners may find this useful.

Don't forget to have the headlights aligned. Most people forget this is a thing, but especially on older cars, there are adjustment screws that are used to make sure the headlight is pointing in the right place.

Mighty, these edits are absolutely astonishing. The video is done very, very well. It's engaging, interesting, and a lot of fun. I've really enjoyed your IRL videos of you mucking about with cars. Excellent work sir! Can't wait for more!

Your irl videos are some of my favourite videos on KZread. Can’t wait to see even more content on your miata and what the future holds for your channel :)

crazy how the viewers got this to happen. I love the car and the new looks, and can't wait to see the finished engine installed. PS: i think the headlights look kinda bad. But it is creative!

I was a bit sceptical at first about this, kind of worried that you would ruin the car thats become your whole image, seeing this was super cool! I think the red paint was the right choise, it's your color after all :) I think the stock headlights look better, but tbh those ones you put on are more unique. Looks like the restoration was very well done as well, and that seems like a really good price too, i bet it would cost a lot more where i live. Your car really deserves this love!

This... this right here folks. It's why we live. Best Miata build I've EVER seen and will ever done see. I love the new headlights and I love what you do ❤

The running light colour change looks like the might have a polarised filter on them, could be that it's built in or it could just be a protective cover which needs peeling off

"o kurwa" says everything! Congrats Mighty hope Miata last forever with you!

i'm not all that much of a car person, but my brother is. you've made it easier to start understanding what he's into, and i've benefitted from your work. thank you, CarMighty! and I can't wait to see what more content comes from both Miatas :)

If you decide to change the headlights back to "stock" the American company Holley makes full LED lights called RetroBrights that look identical to the original sealed beam lamps. Basically 3x the light output but a stock look.

Now this is totally where I love where the viewer generated money goes to, not for creators to flex shit to their viewers and fans but actually put into their shitbox and make something great that viewers can also enjoy and also you Mighty get to ride a restored car! Your content is epic Mighty, and your fucked up discord server is also something that I love. I am glad to be a part of this community and I hope that this journey never ends. Thank you Mighty for all the awesome content and for giving a poor Miata a restoration road, I have had a similar process with an offroad car and I know how difficult it can get. Respecc from Estonia

I am now the owner of a 1998 MX-5 NB after my mother sadly passed away. It was the first car I ever bought and it was her 60th birthday present from me. The car is almost identical in construction to the NA, but costs only 1/4 because it has no pop-up headlights. I love the car, you can't imagine how much fun a Miata can be. Because I now also have a close emotional bond with the car, I will keep and cherish it.

Man that paint looking shiny good luck on the v8 swap!

Honestly surprised it wasnt a turbo 5cyl out of the volvo s60r, but the lexus v8 makes a lot of sense too. Cant wait to see the finished product, definitely one of a kind. Crazy to see you come so far over the years :')

@CarMighty

the 5cyl would be much more unique, but would require a LOT more custom fabrication :/ there are some kits for the 3UZ, which make the swap much easier

Dude I love those headlights, unique and functional. It looks normal from the side, then looks "done with everything" when viewed head on. I bet it will look like eye slits if you wire up the running lights.

Hello mighty, I have been watching all your series from the very beginning from your channel and your amazing in all your series so from the bottom of my heart: I'm a big fan of you and you channel, series and just your miata as well.

Stock lights for sure, also the signal/running lights I like stock more.

The Miata restoration. Also I wonder how much the parts are, I’m trying to modify mine.

The Mighty Miata looks sick! I wish you good luck on the swap, and I can't wait to see it in action!

I own a 1990 1.6 Automatic (yeah ew I know) Miata, I'm currently "restoring" it to the best of my abilities by my self. I don't make too much so I need to slowly buy parts I need but I'm just trying to keep it nice. It's a fun project that has in the past month has given me quite a few problems with replacement refurbished parts and other problems that I just don't have the experience to diagnose and fix on my own. I don't watch you as much as I did about 2 years ago but besides watching cars when I was a kid, your Miata is one of the main reasons I own a little beauty today, thank you.

uwielbiam twoje miaty bliźniaczki, czekam na kolejne filmy ;)

Hey, it’s Adderall Andy. You know…that one guy with the face. It would be hilarious if you fully built a drift Miata so that it is on the edge of being street legal, and then take it for a grand tour across Europe. Going to racetracks and events, etc. and fix things that go wrong with it along the way, kinda like a European version of Roadkill or hot rod drag week. I’m sure NOTHING will go wrong with a 350hp Miata lowered and modded with a massive body kit and skinny tires with enough boost to pop a weather balloon.

@@CarMighty you could steam swap it like that Land Rover using a carbon neutral boiler from the mackwell locomotive company one the size of a miata would have around the same power as the stock engine

Waited so long for this video, but boy was it worth it. Those exterior mods look fire 🔥 can't wait for the engine swap to see the final product.

for your other miata, i had a 91.5 and lost my driver side mirror between checking it and another mirror, looked back and it was gone, anyway, 80's firebird/fiero mirrors look really good on it and fit nicely with just new holes in the same spot

1:10 Didnt u ment "wiadro ogórków"

Seriously love what you do mighty 💪🔥❤️

This video just reminded me to seal the inside of my new quarter panel before I attach it. Glad I saw this before I attached it... Side note, the reason the running lights have different colors is most likely due to using 2 or more different LEDs to make the white light, you might be able to fix it by rotating the actual bulb but this just changes the problem from sideways to vertically but less likely to see that anyway. A proper fix is to change the bulb for a single color LED

Oh my, I’ve been here since mighty was a small little KZreadr with only a couple thousand subs and now he has almost a mil. Congrats bro

Mickey 🙂👍 your favorite car restoration master Also, i really love the songs from the Taxi movies as background music 😍 and the editing is so on point, very enjoyable video, very food very nice

TAXI ost in the background was hilarious. Thank you for showing this process, very information.

I think you should name the car: Mighty, the Miata. Has a good ring with your channel

amazing work and those headlights look amazing actually, very nice.

so excited for this project!!!!

Absolutely love the headlights. I want an S2k, but every time I see one of your videos, the miata cult calls to me.

Those wheels look great

Love the new headlights!!!

even though it's been 3 years since that video, it was worth the wait!

For led changing color at different perspectives you could try using computer monitor diffuser films. any old lcd screen have them. just stick it on led that might help a bit.

for the drift build, a rocket bunny kit? LOVE THE VID

Tired miata headlights.. New genuis masterpiece,looks great fam.

The Metal Flake red on that car is beautiful man.

In my opinion the new headlights look great! if I had a miata, I would definitely install headlights like those!

I just found your channel. I am loving your style. Love from Palestine.

100% pumped to see it done looks awsome btw beans

you should do a video where you go for a drive at night like your outro when the build is done that would be pretty cool.

Amazing video, funny and honestly refreshing to see someone take proper care of a miata and not just slam it. For the drift livery you could do a Playboy livery, i know theres a civic out there with it that looks great and its contreversial i guess

I love the spoiler! Its exactly what I have been looking for to put on my miata! Where did you end up getting it from?

this is so satisfying I love seeing old things restored so much! can't wait for the engine swap mega hype

You say Mickey is a legend within the Miata group you're in, and after seeing your Miata on the flat-bed, I see why, that came out beautifully.
