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!

I love your work man

Awesome job Ilya, looks great 👍🏽

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.

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

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?

@RuskiWeldFab

the part is bigger only by the thickness of the carbon itself in most cases does not exceed 1mm.

@@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.
