Part of trying new things is that occasionally you'll try something that doesn't work, that's how development works. It's great that you are honest and share the failures as well as the successes because it makes what you do real to the people that think things always turn out perfectly first time. You have the patience of a saint doing this filling & sanding! Keep up the great work!

Yup. I'm always happy to put my mistakes out there as well if it helps other people not to make them. Plus this was actually something that I was really curious about when I made my original mx5 widebody years ago. Shaping the whole thing with body filler was a workout and I wanted to know if this gib plaster would be good for this sort of plug making. Now I know.

Yeah mate, happens to everyone no matter how much we like to think we know what we're doing. At the end of the day if there's a lesson in it then it's worth it.

This series is great mate! If a setback means we get an extra episode then Im all for it!

Why I really enjoy this build is because he built it with passion making his own body kit isn't that easy. good luck dude, i love it

You are amazing brother mashaallah... I would pay for your videos. Im learning so much from you. Keep it up champ 💪🏼

I just found your channel 2 days ago, watched all the Sta-GTR episodes, Im hooked and i wake up to a brand new one , its a good morning.

❤ mate! It’s great to see your persistence, you got this 💪 keep up the great work. I literally wait to see your videos and so chuffed when another ones out 🎉

This is gonna be so sick when it’s done! Very excited to see what it’ll end up looking like

Took me half the episode to remember the yellow on the rims was tape😂 Actually looks good with a yellow lip

Wow love watching your channel no talking and music just the sound of some birds singing in the background. Keep on bouncing you will get everything done.

When you thinking "I may have so less sanding" but life give you "2 times sanding". 😁 This work will be amazing. I am so excited about finished job.

Your technique, efforts, ideas, and sense are all wonderful!

You're truly the biggest inspiration, Keep doing what ur doing man. I love every frame of it

Kinda digging the yellow tape lines in the design. Just awesome to see all kinds of inspiration in the creativity someone can make in a design. Keep up the good work.

The vision is coming together, this is going to be amazing once its completed. I hope you do a run of conversion kits once complete 👌🏻👌🏻

Legend has it that this man continues sanding to this day... what a good job you are doing, saludos desde Perú

This is a great video and the main reason is not the work which is awesome but the fact that you show that projects of this magnitude don't come always easy and smooth!

The amount of patience this requires.... Kudos to you... Wonder how much faster and easier it would be if you just 3d printed your fiberglass fender molds...

You have your setbacks, but you always come through and power forward!

🔨🚗💨 Tonight's episode is packed with action! From sanding to uncovering the hidden treasures of the Nissan Stagea, and Tofu Auto Works using their expertise like a human jackhammer, this is one thrilling ride! Can't wait to see how the widebody issues unfold in the Sta-GTR build. Keep pushing the limits and delivering awesome content! 👌🔧🔥

I understand you channel concept now. It exactly as a Japanese KZread video. Action and subtitles only❤

Mate, you have commitment I'll say that about you & skill 👍

Adapt and overcome... you're doing alright brother, looking forward to the next ep! ✌🇦🇺

Bro idgas what anyone says … your crushing it …. R and D is everything

Congratulations for this perseverance and this good work, personally I use a 10x10cm rubber wedge to apply the first putty, after a first sanding, I use a "syntojet" gun putty which works very easily 👍😉

Well you are going forward... Good job man you get there soon enough 👍

Im sure you will have it looking better than ever in no time. End result will be worth it im sure. 👍👌👌

i love the progress dude keep up the good work

@@TofuAutoWorks It actually has been very informative as I've had an idea to use jointing compound as well, turns out not a great idea for making a mould which I would need to make to have a full fibre glass fender. I still don't have an idea how to make the rear quarter panels for mx-5 as I don't want the body kit to be detachable but rather a one peace...

hey man ik it’s a struggle but keep going this thing is going to come out amazing in no time!

Im doing the same on my project 350z widebody and it Came great with the bondo, perfect thin lines that will be a mess doing it with just the foam or the fiberglass.. it is just a plug so It is ok if the bondo is thick to get a good base.

Ahhh, so frustrating but man, it is going to look sooo good when it’s done mate. Love your dedication to getting it perfect. Would also be interested to know how many pre-orders you have for the kit (unless that’s commercially sensitive info!) ;-)

@TofuAutoWorks

11 ай бұрын

Cheers mate. There has been a lot of interest but I've not fully opened up to taking pre-orders yet since we've still got a lot of work left to go into the design. (Figuring out how many pieces the moulds will be, how to handle the rear fenders, design for the rear lip etc...) I didn't really want to lock anybody in until the design is finalized and I have a good idea what the price will be. I'm also working with a team in the US about producing these over there to hopefully make international shipping much cheaper. Local orders from NZ and Aus will still be handled by me, but everything else will most likely be sent from the States.

Love this build and your channel! Genuine question, why put all the effort into making perfect fenders just to cover them with the wide body?

😱My face during the intro

Have you tried soaking the compound in fiberglass resin to make it hard enough for mold making?

22:18 Michelangelo at work! 😅

Sh*t happend. Don't give up. Thanks for the video!

Just a minor setback! Still looks to be coming along great. I've never used jointing compound, would it have been possible to lay glass twill cloth over, smooth with filler and keep going?

@TofuAutoWorks

11 ай бұрын

I feel the issue with this filler is that the outer surface of it is never really stable. It's always super soft and powdery and so even if I tried to skin it, the fiberglass probably wouldn't bond to it. You also probably wouldn't want to skin it again because it's already pretty much at final dimension and you want the outer layer to be one homogenous material. It's a real pain when you're sanding through body filler and then all of a sudden you hit fiberglass.

The jointing compound I use is pre mixed and it actually dries pretty hard. I haven’t made a a mold from it yet but using it to design has been a major plus. And I plan on using aluminum foil as a surface just to make sure the joint compound doesn’t affect the fiberglass resin

where do you live that it rains so much? I'd love to pack up and move there, I absolutely love rain.

Great job bro I'm your big fan from kerala

what an effort and that's probably just the negative forms and then it was almost all for nothing.

Im learning so much from you but let me tell you some tricks with the bondo and lines.... work by parts, and all the lines and edges use tape, remove the tape while is getting hard so you going to get a straight line for the next step of bondo, it safe alot of time and get perfect... other tip is using electric molding, is flexible and plastic dont stick to bondo.. I tape it too for reuse

I know it's just tape, but I think I like the bright colored lip on the wheels. lol

Смог бы. В век интернета можно поэтапно сделать все. Может не так точно и досконально, но смог бы. Не все так сложно, как кажется. Лично для меня самая сложная часть работы заключается в отряхивании себя от пыли😅. Но когда-то я тоже смотрел и не понимал происходящее, пока сам не начал делать

mans just rick rolled me. on the verge of tears

Btw plasticine clay works a lot better and even molds to temp and less mess and 100% work time

18:40 maybe, turbofan front wheels will be a good idea :)

Could you have put another layer of 80 gsm over it and then a final layer of filler? Also, (as I'm sure you're aware) yellow/gold body filler sands very easily as well, especially if you hit it before it fully hardens during initial shaping. But it's also significantly more expensive.

If I were to do this same service here in Brazil, just for material, I'd give the price of two GTR 😄 . They take all our raw materials to China and we run out of material and we have to buy four times as much

All in all it looks tuff azz

Hi mate, why don't you use fibre glass filler, if you can't buy it in your country, make your own, mix up some normal auto body filler with hardener then separately mix up some fibreglass resin with hardener and add them together about two thirds filler to one third resin, it is hard and smooth with no air bubbles if you don't mix in to much air when mixing it together, hope it helps Darren

@TofuAutoWorks

11 ай бұрын

Fiberglass filler is better for a smoother / glazing layer where you want it to sand a little harder to give you more precise control over the lines. That's sort of the opposite of what we're after here. With this the goal is to build up a very quick layer that can be sanded easily to save time on shaping. Remember that none of this plug is staying on the car so it doesn't matter how thick the filler is or what it's made out of.
