I wish I could have an fd rx7 love you so much
Beautiful engine bay, you are blessed to have your dad in your life
Omg somebody is going backwards on them calipers painting them and now deciding to grind Mazda off of them..?!?!
You done a great job fella
I think your beard black now lol I respect that.,
Personally I would keep the paint as red, maybe brighten it up. But, I like the red color.
Dude…you did all that work to jiggy jiggy the engine bay??? This hurts the heart.
Keyb word fit the day IS……"ADEQUATE" ๐๐๐
I wasn't sure if I had the nerve or the motivation to do this myself to my G8 GT. However, I think you've shown me that it is manageable and well worth the effort. Nice work as always Mickey.
Mickey spec the shop's garage floor with a better epoxy job! From the video it just looks painted.
#MickeySpec
why didnt they paint that transmission too? it sticks out like a sore thumb
you should give us a little background on your dad how does he know so much about cars does he have his own built vehicle
Spray the car LaFerrari red ๐
As soon as you said affordable I immediately thought of the VHT epoxy paint in a can I can't explain how that happened but it must be a car guy thing, just upped the front breaks on my SC and instead of cutting them of like most people do I rolled my back and used the epoxy VHT to protect the scratched surfaces from rust.
I'm glad you did it in the shop , that's what most of us can only afford and personally the feeling if doing it yourself is the best. Keep it up Mickey!
VHT makes some very solid nightshade tail light tint as well, been using them for years!
Love this video
Vlog with Mickey its instant like before see video! ๐ ๐ ๐
Hy bro! I am your subscriber from indonesia! Iam like your car!
Rattle can job is NOT mickey spec
I have a question. I bought a 2000 Firebird and well the engine went out on me on the way home. It knocks really really bad, my uncle said it had some white smoke before the last time I left on the side of the road. It still starts and runs just has that bad knocking. The radiator is all sludged up because of the DEXCool that chevy requires since it sat for a while. Its a v6 engine and I really want to rebuild the engine as a new engine is 1,500 or more. Would it be worth it to rebuild? Cause I really like the car. The interior isnt in very good condition as well it needs alot of repair but as long as it runs I dont mind the interior I can always fix that easily.
is it a soecific type of spray can paint that has to be used?
VHT is a great product, great choice. I been using there products for year's.
You have to let us know when ur rx7 tags are available. Im seriously considering ripping my rx7 to pieces now and just going crazy on it
RIP that nice new shop floor and surrounding tool chests with overspray lol
These rx-7 videos have wayyyy more views than other thrtl videos
Mickeys dad is lit
FOCUS!!!!!!!!!
Dude I canโt wait till itโs finished!!!
I just can't wait to see the thing start and you race TJ in his rx7
mickyspec is spray paint? lmfaoooooo you're a joke ugh
Iโm happy you went ahead and painted looks so clean great job bro ๐๐ฝ
adequate. very adequately adequate
The car is turning up great!!
The shop needs to buy a blast cabinet you could have cleaned your control arms and brake calipers so easy they have so many types a media for all types of blasting, and Mickey did you know you can get spray cans filled with your paint color if you wanted to keep it the same just FYI.
This is what I love about mickeys content, he shows you that it can be DIY on a budget instead of taking the easy option out and taking it somewhere to get it done!
It's not a question if we want to see this or not. I want to see everything you do to this FD
Brake clean on rubber seals isnโt the best combo, dries out the rubber
leave the logo on and paint red against the black it will look a lot better that way
Focus that damn camera!!!!
Paint won't stick. You forgot urathan clear coat has hardener. That enamel shit you used will rub off. Did you sand it? I could scratch it off with my fingernails. Now you need to put newspaper under the car and spray the bay with paint stripper and get that shit off. Need to sand it anyways, might as well repaint it. But i do like how you restored the paint. It looks like a custom red with metal flake, so be hard to match to repaint. I know RX7 was a flat red. My neighbor had a red one. But yours looks nice except that bay. Looks like a 8 year old painted it. And I paint my own body kits. I was using a rattle can painting my yellow Tonka trucks black when I was 8. You amuse me!
Dammm Mickey you got down ๐๐
Doing a sweet job mickey cant wait for the next video. Your a insperation to how things should be done. Keep up the good work!! ๐๐๐
This is turning into a ghetto project
looks noice !! rattle can artist i see ๐
The video was very adequate.
Mickey without a doubt you need to do the parts in the engine bay the same res as the colour of the car that would go so nice with the black
that bay came out so good
