Merry Christmas everybody! (Few days late but still good!) We're reaching a really good stage now with these fenders and I'm finishing up this second fender as we speak, by the next episode we'll be ready for primer! Then we can start the mould making. As always be sure to switch on subtitles by pressing the CC button, I've added a few extra languages for those of you who are more comfortable reading in other languages, hopefully this will help answer some of the questions you have! Enjoy the video!

It is refreshing to watch work being done. No talking head endlessly waffling about what going to happen, no hands and arms waving and failing about , no stupid half arsed jocks from a want-to-be comedians. Just down to earth showing your talent and showing how to do the job. Well done keep it up. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Brother you have the patience of a saint. I think out of all of my automotive subscriptions, this one is the only one i can actually enjoy the process. Everyone else has to do the “influencer” type of builds and narration. Never change your process or style to fit in with the rest of the creators.

I really like the style of these vids - No talking bla bla, silent music - focus on good content! Great, keep it up! Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪

The master of the backwards, double reverse with a twist template🤯 ...... awesome work. 👍👍🍺🍺

Dude your videos are peaceful to watch. Don't really care about the body filler used, the lines are immaculate. You're awesome, from one Engineer to another.

Yeah and these fenders are just for making a mold, the actual fenders are going to be made out of fiberglass. That's why he doesn't mind putting on a ton of filler.

Hey man. Fellow kiwi here just wanted to say ive been watching this build since you started, its very cool watching the progress.. I only realised you were kiwi when i seen your track day video. Keep up the good work man. 😎👌

Thank you so much mate! Before I started doing all this I had a degree in mechanical engineering and a few years experience in panel beating and spray painting, but most if it is just from a hands-on kiwi attitude and over a decade of slowly gaining new skills. There's still massive room for improvement but I'll always keep my standards higher than my abilities and that's what drives me.

In my experience, most shops value "good enough" and speed wayy more then the level of care and pride taken in the craft that Tofu auto works shows. Taking the time to make every line visually perfect is only present in passion projects or premium shops. So if he's driven enough to work himself for his self improvement and keeps the standard high, I'm all for it.

this thing's really shaping up well, can't wait to see more. Happy holidays, and hope you feel better soon!

Awesome video, I really like all the tips and tricks to getting this done. That mirroring the built one and over building and sanding down makes so much sense when you see it

I love your content. Praying on the recovery!

True master of his class, like everyone else is saying your videos are refreshing! Also loved seeing the big belt sander on the fender lol Merry Christmas and I hope the new year can bring you great things

It's mad enough making one but then transferring the the other side 🤯

Wow 👏👏👏 again above and beyond Mind blowing craftsmanship 🤯

Wasn’t expecting this video, I appreciate you found the energy to edit and upload it. In regards to the content of the video, although you ultimately rejected a change you made it was neat to see the process.

Fantastic Job

Why i am so excited to see the next episode !? Really great job man!!!! Your video are more entertaining than most if the KZread game. Huge respect!

Excelent work man!

Love your vids, they're like therapy to me.

Nice work! Love to watch your videos and learn from you👌🎄

After all ive watched, your comfort with power tools with such delicate work is amazing. Hope your feeling better.

This looks insane! Your videos inspired me to make my own fiberglass parts for my car, and damn you make it look easy haha. Take your time to heal mate!

I’m lovin watching this all unfold . Your stuff is just legit brotha . Look forward to the next . Hope your feelin better by now . Happy news 👊🏼🖤🍻

This fender is fast becoming a work of art Man!! 👌👌👌

Good work man, good work👏👏👏👍

Keep up the great work - doing this whilst you are sick is not fun. But sometimes focus helps take you mind off every thing 'crappy' Thank you!

Happy new year😎 フェンダーお疲れ様でした！ 完成が楽しみです🙋✨

Awesome job as always! And marry christmas and happy new year!

Can't wait for the next episode, get well soon

It might be a good idea to make a mold of these fenders. They're works if art. If you made them out if a composite you could easily replace a smashed fender with a new one rather than having to completely redo the body work due to it cracking all the way to the metal.

Thanks for another great video. Get well soon,and happy New year from norway 🇳🇴☃️🎇✨🎆

Dope, merry belated Christmas and happy New Year mate ✌🏻🇦🇺

As expected another high quality video. Even sick you put out videos far better than 98% of the stuff that’s out there. Great work and thanks for pushing through feeing under the weather to put out yet another video in this series 🙌🏻🤘🏻

Amazing work! I honestly did not expect the fenders tu be such a big job. You could take fiberglass mold from them now so that you can make a spare easily in case the original gets damadged. Or you can even sell a few to recoup some cost 🤘

These fenders are most likely the hardest part of this whole build including making the entire widebody from scratch. And yes there will be moulds made of this whole project. If you haven't already, be sure to watch my videos with subtitles, there's a lot of extra information in there.

I'm a bit late watching your video as I was away on a mini holiday and had time away from devices. Anyway, I hope you had a merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Lets get busy!

Marry late Christmas and a happy new year

Great job mate, worth keeping a mask on when you are sanding protect from the dust. Last thing you want with the Covid, hope you recover properly soon. Happy New Year man.

Great work! This is such an amazing project. Not sure if you knew this or not, but black sharpie causes galvanic corrosion when used on metal surfaces. Anyways, thanks for sharing this awesome project with the world!

@TofuAutoWorks

Жыл бұрын

Yup! It can also leach through many different types of older paints. It can be the worst thing in the world when you finish a respray and then down the line the sharpie marks show up through the paint. These fenders will be heading straight to the skip as soon as the moulds are made though, so there were a lot of shortcuts and very bad practices that I was able to get away with. (that vent's not going to do much if these were the final fenders haha)

when you finish these fenders you should make a plug out of them to make carbon and fiberglass fenders - i see that people would want to complete this conversion

This man is dedicated to his channel, he catches Covid and still finds a way to push through and push out some 🔥 content for all of us

Not gonna lie, I hate Miata's. But I've been subscribed every since I randomly came across a video of you doing bodywork on it and enjoyed all the videos of the buildup of it. Now I've been enjoying seeing you piece this together. Your skills are pretty creative and love watching how you create something from nothing. Wish I still had my slammed 4th Gen Prelude from 20 years ago.

Beautifull work ! maybe One day I will buy stagea just to fit your kit on it :)

Very good man 🚀🚀🚀

I instandly get bubbles on my fingers when i see you grinding that much 😂

There are some belt sanders with smaller front wheel that might save you time in tool changes to work a straight edge to a small radius. Awesome work, looking forward to the next!!! Also, you use too much filler...

means to an end

Use as much body filler as you want. You shouldn't have to worry about what other people think. If they're crying over something they can't control, that's their problem. Keep going, it looks awesome!

It's cool to see every single bit of this process personally I wouldn't have the patience and I would of just leave it alone 🤣

Btw its not first u can see theres alot already in the carshow espin Malaysia. Btw love ur work! Very patient n beautiful craftmanship

wow bro i have be see your vids and its looking goo bro

Get some time off and rest well mate, then you and us can enjoy the building time together

If you don't get these perfect, then make moulds, so as to make fibreglass or carbon fibre versions to sell and get some r&d costs back, you would be very silly. Could be so many other Sta-gtr's made that way 😎

well done bro, pray that u feel better soon! I do love the way u do the little technics u do! awesome videos too

When you started progress on the passenger fender I was thinking to myself "I wonder how much money this guy spends on body filler". Then the closed caption came up about reading all the fun body filler comments and I thought, _"yeah maybe I won't write a comment about that."_ haha Edit: I realise that I've just wrote a comment about it lol

@14:22 yes indeed, I was wondering out of curiosity how much are this fender plugs weighting right now with all that material XD You're doing great btw, I can't wait to see the result :)

Get well soon! And don't take paxlovid if it's offered, the Moderna one (molnupiravir) is safer and better. But probably better on your own, either way.
