Life couldn't get any better than mcm and a beer, you guys have saved my life. Keep it up:)
I got chills from the opening speech. Almost teared hearing how much you love the mira
Congrats on getting her finished Marty! I love the new track Moog, Erin has a wonderful voice👍
I genuinely love the soundtrack of the videos! Are you's going to release it?
great song
Bloody hell Marty. I know you always talk about telling the story. And this is up there with the best. This is why MCM are so far ahead of everyone else. No one actually puts this type of production effort into youtube.
Bloody well done lads.
I have put this much effort in to a video but UA-cam algorithm is harsh and doesn't show mercy , I made a video telling my story about my crash on my channel I think its stuck though
Gears and gasoline does similar storytelling and production.
Ed Bolian needs to get Marty on Vinwiki to tell this story
Just had a look at some of your vids mate. They are solid, keep at it. I'm similar, I put what I consider is a fair bit of effort into my videos.
But MCM are just in a league of their own, these guys are deep diving generations of cars to understand the history, they are mixing and mastering songs to suit videos, their post production is something you'd expect from a short film festival entrant.
Honestly most viewers probably don't even grasp the time and effort in these videos..
..they just know they look dope 😅
Just listening to Marty's story just makes me want to get my dream car and just experience this magical feeling of putting so much time and effort into something and achieving the most satisfying feeling of hearing it start for the first time and being ready to hit the streets
this..... this here is what its all about people, absolute perfection Marty
It's Ewan from FailRace!!
Jim Calvin you would be correct 🙂
Yeah
100% ewan
Ayee ewan lmaoo
Richard Hammond + Oliver: We’re the best human + vehicle love story
Marty + 4WD Mira: I’m about to end this man’s whole career
You should invite Mr. Sato to Australia to show him the car in person. He would be pleased!
Please!
Unicorn Circuit with Mr. Sato 😁
Great idea man
For some reason I always imagine it's Moog singing the female vocals in the music.
2! Sexy!
I can’t unsee this
For me its like I can see Moog in the background having his funny smile then yelling Yaaaarrriiiissss, Yaaaaarrriiiissss!

The MCM guys embody the spirit of "Don't just drive what you love, love what you drive."
Whatareyoudoingyouidiot well put 👍🏼
@@antonypope7909 they mean the same thing... it's a variation of "eat to live or live to eat" but the way op wrote it it means the same thing. if you drive what you love then you do love what you drive, they're the same thing.
I did not realize that i've been watching this for 6+ years until it was mentioned
I had no idea it had been that long
Same here. Time flies, ...
Dang I was like 9 then ! But I remember seeing it for the first time
I had the same exact thought!
I had exactly the same thought xD
We're so happy with how this turned out and pleased that we had a small part in making it look so cool! Congratulations on an awesome story guys!
Barrel Bros Quality Wheels your wheels just complete the overall aesthetic of the Mira,
Find someome who loves you like Marty loves his Mira 🙃
Find someone who loves you like Moog loves Marty
To get your nugget polished?
@@myownsite mad lad
@@myownsite Someone who thinks that you're a nugget worth polishing,,,and won't care if you don't come out glossy, because the polishing is really what the trip is about.
@@jfan4reva I loves me a bit of polishing.....
Has it really been 6 years since the beginning of this amazing journey.
I was thinking the same thing when he said that. Wow!
Time flies when you're having fun
4:44
Moog: "Let's walk there cool."
Marty: * sees his Mira * :>
Flaxslice I like how moog starts smiling after he sees marties face
So many cars, so many years, so many episodes, so many moments.....
This.
This will always be my favourite. The only episode that actually made me tear up with happiness.
The best poem introduction ever: “Things” by MCM 2019
Had the absolute pleasure in seeing this car today in person at the newcastle japanese car show and got to meet Marty hes such a humble bloke.
Brian Young yes it was so good!!
Only 20 seconds in and that intro speech might be one of the deepest ever told in MCM, specially coming from Marty.
EDIT: 4 minutes in... why am I crying? :')
That monologue, unbelievable. Really gets you thinking. And this nugget is the greatest. Thank you Martin!
The Beginning was poetry 😭, Mira vs Mini when
The car nobody wanted except for Marty 😭
Sorry the brick would absolutely destroy the Mira
The race will be Marty’s Mira vs Yoda’s charade
Not a fair race and won't happen. Mini will destroy the Mira ... 185hp against 75 or less.
Yeah holy shit that was full documentary level
I always get borderline teary eyed when Marty talks about the Mira because I can 100% relate. I am just as attached to my 84 Suzuki SJ
Yup. My '85 Nissan ET Turbo.
mmmmmm kei
Same here, '97 AWD Pulsar Autech. Not the fastest or the prettiest but the years and smiles in that thing are all that matter
Yep, same with my 87 Renault 5 Gt Turbo .
My 125cc Motorcycle. My Grandpa's Simson.
Seeing the both of you in the Nugget smiling again made the wait of the build worth it. This is what it's all about, the journey, the friendships, taking a Nugget and making it your own. This is the best car related UA-cam channel. Good vibes all around.
This is the perfect reason why I am still watching after all these years.
Great story telling, wonderful car, well written intro, beautiful cinematography, well edited amazing music, and two friends sharing the memories it too to make a one of a kind...nugget. )
Thanks guys!
Blair Joscelyne your music truly makes every episode worth watching!
@Ross Bourne I am sure Moog can make it happen 😂😂
Song= downloaded
I sincerely hope that every person watching this finds something in there life that they can love as much as marty has loved the adventure this car has brought him.
Absolute joy to see a project of this magnitude come to its conclusion.
Working on mine right now
I love my cars. I still have the shell of my first car and the connection that i had with it. One day, i'll rebuild it, like Marty [Moog and the gang] did.
I keep rewatching this build series because it inspires me with my AE86 build. It's old, Japanese, rusty yet has so much potential. I have learnt so much from this build series and it's reassuring to know that the path is the same for those who are building a car to this extent. It also gives me hope knowing that if we keep chipping away at it, it will flourish into something great, especially if your car is in pieces and you question whether if it was all worth it. Thank you MCM and Thank you Mira for being so transparent and realistic about what it is like to build/restore a car. Congratulations on the result!
That smile in the end...
It literally is written in Moog's teeth! THE YARIS HAS COMEEEEEE
I hope you are right, I would squeal if this was a Yaris
Omg I was thinking the same exact thing!!!
The Double Y build!!
Yota Yaris
@@ElkinsEric Then this is for you, I have spotted the car ;)
www.reddit.com/r/MightyCarMods/spotted_the_yaris_not_sure_in_the_parking_lot/
Although it's not a red one unfortunately...
someone better pick up that phone, because YOU CALLED IT!
ua-cam.com/video/hlCZTV2hO-0/v-deo.html
I think I got a little speck of Kei car rust in my eye. Damn you, Marty. 😭
I watch this regularly.
Marty pulling heart strings with that speech. You guys really showcased your music making and video editing expertise.
This is an MCM masterpiece.
P.s.
I like positive moog.
Not nayssaying negative Nancy moog
Guys you always manage to encapsulate why we are all car lovers. The bond between a man and his car and the friendships and relationships that come from owning that car is truly what the enthusiast community is about! Its not making the most power or driving as fast as possible or even showing off, it's about what that lump if engineered metal (or scrap) can be and how the process if growing with it makes you feel. Thanks for the amazing videos, keep em coming
"have a race with..." a YARIS?
Time for the odd Yaris door from the 350z episode to appear....ish
Ah, you beat me. Still want to see it happen tho
They should have put a Barra engine in Yaris by now...
Yaris body with Caldina 2litre Turbo motor and 4 wheel drive. Just don't take ten years to build it like Binky lol.
Yaris or the Mini
Instant happiness when I get a notification from an upload from mighty car mods
clear my calendar for after work google, im watching mcm when i get home
It took me two days straight to binge through this build, and at the end, I was genuinely happy to see this little economy shitbox rip on a racing strip like a frikin race car. The determination of you two guys is truly inspiring! The amount of work and effort you put into this project is nothing short of mind-boggling, you have my respect for all the sweat and struggle you were willing to go through to put back this car on the road! I honestly enjoyed every minute of this rather lengthy series! Thank you!
This video took us all on your very emotional journey. Well done Marty and Moog. This is exactly why you guys are light years ahead of the rest.
That is the best gem nugget that has ever been pulled out of the car toilet.
Martin, I cried. This is what I call job done well. You guys are amazing.
Its killing me how u said jobe done well instead of a job well done. My adhd i guess.
Glad i wasnt the only one in tears
Same just like chasing midnight.
@@justinrosas8104 it's killing me that you spelt job as jobe
I came to comment the same.
I teared up over a car, a mans love for said car and the effort of his friends to help him save the car.
Wow.
That intro was genuinely brilliant. You summed up our passion for autos, full stop. You can love a Mira as much as you love your Zonda (and all and anything in between) and that’s what it’s all about. Find out what you love, and freakin love the hell out of it. Period. I love it!
All of that for this tiny little nugget of a car. This series truly is a beautiful example of what a simple car can mean to someone
I’d love Moog to bring out the Nissan March Super Turbo..!
I want to see super turbo content
will come as soon as the rules in australia change!
Its Yaris time Bois.
RyanLDNBlog its still in japan
if u want see u can search FORGOTTEN NISSAN..
I feel like a proud dad 😂 been watching since the budget stereo on the driveway days and I'm so glad to see this come to fruition. Good on both you blokes 👍💪
One thing that dawns on me when i regularly go to classic car shows is i love the nostalgia feeling of all the 80's/90's cars ive owned and i love the fact people are willing to restore cars for future generations like my kids to appreciate them, but what cars will realistically be at classic car shows in the future built from 2010 to 2020 todays cars have no style like they used to. Well done marty you've done a cracking job you should be very proud 😊
It’s a MIRA-cle that you guys got this completed.
You have to absolutely love the final videos if each build. They're like Windows into Marty and Moogs heart so that we can all learn to love each car as well
Mate that intro gave me chills and tears awesome job love your cars
It took me 8 years to restore my 1967 El Camino by myself, I replaced 2 quarter panels, rear window sheet metal, both drip rails the upper dash and the whole front clip plus rebuilding the rest of the frame and drive train. During this time I was a long haul truck driver, I left my house Saturday morning and got home Wednesday afternoon every week and took a whole 4 days off for Thanksgiving and X-mas. I Drove a Geo Metro (Suzuki Swift) back and forth from the yard 80 miles away. When you find that one car its amazing the sacrifices you will go through to get her done. Congrats Marty, Enjoy!
When so many channels evolve on likes to super and hypercar modify/smash rebuilds MCM remains true to its core, 100% Genuine.
Honestly 6.6 . & Agreed ^
Most classic car guys: I want a Lamborghini miura
Marty : I just want a mira
EDIT
Marty: I just want a Turbo, Four Wheel Drive Mira!!!
The best love story ever told. Marty and his Mira. Gonna need tissues for the opening :)
and lotion.
No 10 mm sockets were hurt during the rebirth of this Kei car.
Great video guys.
5000 10mm sockets were reported MIA however
True... its abundant everywhere,
Hey fella's i doubt you'll see this. I just wanted to say how much i appreciate you guys as people I've been following you's for the better half of a decade. I'm from the south coast of nsw. Narooma. You may trash talk eachothers cars but the dedication moog puts into his music and the tinniest bits of detail marty puts into everything he does is why i watch you fella's every week. All out of your own pockets
time for the 1 litre big block upgrade now yeah ?
Or a rearmounted 3.2 litre volvo engine
Hayabusa engine swap?
Nah scurb that. Make it twin engine To keep it pure 😂
The best engine for this r k3@k3vet 1.3, just nice power to weight ratio.
11:10 - I love how philosophical Moog gets. Where Marty was talking about how worthless the car would be to someone else if he was to sell it, Moog's like "but think about how much you put into it - and how valuable is it to YOU?"
Damn guys, this is amazing. Sure know how to bring tears to the eyes of a car lover. The paint job looks amazing. The whole car is great. Thanks for bringing us with you on this Mira journey.
Aww man, your heartfelt words nearly bought me to tears into my lunch in the middle of the office at work. Your passion is what all people should aspire to have :)
One of the best MCM cars ever. It's not even because of the car - it's the story OF the Mira that makes it special. A story that - thanks to MCM - we've all been a part of, if only in the digital wings. Bravo, gentlemen.
The Mira has been turned into the Mira(cle). Good job fellas. Enjoyed watching it all the way from Japan to the shipping crate to your garage.
yep! same 100%, this is me and my 99 legacy
I love how much emotion you put into your work...this is the best car show on UA-cam but it is also one of the best shows on the site period. Please don't ever stop!!!
I am a big hairy arsed bloke, and the beauty, story telling and epic quality unlike any other content on Youthube.. made me emotional and I may have got something in my eye and it watered!! Thank you!
That is a beautiful car. I like it more than half the SEMA builds I've seen over the years.
Honestly there's no art in most SEMA cars just slap on a bunch of name brand parts and call it good.
The massive difference is the product of long and arduous effort, developing into the creamy refinement of what is in your heart and mind vs. a quick and dirty soulless lump of instant gratification.
@@bustersgarage to the point... i grew up in a time when it was all about spending days and weeks in the garage to make your car something special, for your self with your own hands... and this is exactly why i´d call this Mira a piece of art :)
yes, children, there is still Magic in this world... it´s just hidden behind alot of plastic and add-screens :)
@@RSProduxx A+
Holy shit, it's finished. Thank you so much guys, this has been by far my favorite car you've worked on over the years. Little nuggets have so much soul, and you guys really captured it.
I would say it's ready to get started on. No interior yet, and a list of mods to do.
I didn't think I was going to get all emotional today but here we are ❤
This video brought tears to my eyes. I'm so happy for you to finally see your goal come to be. This is what sets this channel apart, the passion you guys showed in this video was awesome. And Moog, the music was just so big and fitting to such a special build. Great content, you guys.
I LOVE THE MIRA!
your most in depth build ever
only MCM would have gone so far
incredible all the love & effort you put into it
this car is the kei to marty's heart....congrats m8!
and its just as good as the Fairlady GT-R!
@@digitalrailroader aight I didn't say all that, that's my dream car right there!
Thanks for sharing. Six years and only a few hours to tell a story, the “reality” of the car restoration and mod life. There is no rhyme or reason why we fall in love with our cars but at least your friend, as well as other real car people, understand and respect the attachment. Also proves you don’t need 1000 horsepower to enjoy a car you can drive anywhere and anytime or even every day. We all know our cars are never “finished” so looking forward to what’s next on the Mira!
The mira holds a special place in my heart as I got into Mighty Car Mods after watching the video it was first featured in. Love the mira, love mighty car mods, thank you for the many years of emotions and epic chops!
My MCM poster has landed in Cali, and I'm in the Hospital and this video popped up, what a nice way to end my day.
Hope you're good man
Have you sent Mr Sato and the guys at 88s some pictures of it?
Oh and I bet it lifts one wheel when you push it, like the new Fiesta ST.
Edit: Moog your new song is awesome!
Theres no better feeling than having spent so much time and effort and money and brainpower on building up a shell of a vehicle into the vision you always seen. I'm happy watching Marty enjoy this car. Theres a serious and palpable feeling that nothing else can compare to. Good on you guys!
And cheers to Moog being the best friend in the world to Marty by finding a way to make this happen.
Been watching MCM for over 10 years and yet i always get the chills from such beautifully edited videos and music.
ahh..finally, 5 years after Kei to the City was uploaded...congrats Marty!!!!!
Jesus Marty, I'm literally tearing up after 4 minutes in the video.
glad im not the only one. the end of each build always makes me sad
This...
Bro... Same.. 😭😭😭
i haven't watched in so long but my heart has never left, apparently
Glad im not the only one
been waiting soo long for the Mira
This brought tears to my eyes. The amount of work done. The passion poured into every bit of it. This series was well worth it. Long live Mira. Here's to more braaaap stu stu stu stu.
Video brought a tear to my eye and I say that with zero shame. THIS is what it's all about, right here. THIS is what it means to be an enthusiast. It's not about bench racing and forums and bullshit. It's about understanding that transcending connection between a person and a machine after 100's of hours of combined life experience. I've been an MCM fan/subscriber literally from the beginning and these 12 minutes and 25 seconds are your greatest work, hands down. Marty, congratulations. You've earned every bit of enjoyment you get with from that car.
Bravo Marty!
Great to have a friend like Moog...
Hope to still see the Mira in future episodes. Cheers!
This has been one of my most favourite mcm series. I’ve been so infatuated with these little cars for so long and it’s nice to see someone appreciate them in the same way I do
I love you guys for loving cars so much. Your channel has been a feel good place I can go to for years now. The quality of your content and the sentiment behind it is top class and always comes from a good place. What I'm trying to say is thank you for being you and sharing you with us. Words can't relate how thankful I am for you guys.
The day you sell that car is the day that you sell your soul. I cried a bit watching this... So much time, effort, and love, gone into something that you could pass on the street and not even notice. Not done for status, not done for attention, only done because you wanted to do it and had the ability to do so. Bravo.
Never thought I'd tear up watching MCm, yet here I am!
You have perfectly summed the car modifying scene. Great video
If I could "like" this a thousand times, I would. Thank you for the Mira adventure.
You guys don’t get enough credit for how awesome it is to see your friendship. You’re amazing auto enthusiasts but you have a wicked powerful friendship too. Great job on everything guys. Love the channel and love MCM.
Thank you both, its been a wonderful journey to follow over the years, lets hope this story never ends, as Marty said "This is now sorta the Base" for the Mighty Car Mods. Congratulations it's a little ripper.
Last time I was this early. We were huffing bog fumes... electric space wizard
The voice over in the beginning was perfect story telling. Always a pleasure
Man awesome work MCM :’) been following this build since the beginning like many others here. Beautiful to see such an incredible build come to fruition. Well done and thanks most of all for taking us along with you!
The first four minutes of intro are just beautiful. To see someone love something so lost and so forgotten is very heartwarming. Run it man. :)
This isn't a video about a car - it's a video about friends. Friends like we had in grammar school.
Marty, your smile when you and Moog were walking out to the car was incredibly contagious. Thanks for sharing that moment.
Yeah, you could truly tell he loves this car just from that smile. Totally epic the story of this car.
We think you pretty much mastered the art of "cliffhangers"
You guys are amazing. This video is perfection! I can't believe it's been 6 years of Mira madness. That little nugget is a credit to you and all your friends efforts.
One of the few times I've almost cried watching MCM in years. So emotional. The love for those cars is real, thank you guys for showing that putting the time, effort and money in will be worth it in the end!
New Taylor Swift album: boring
New Tool album: meh
New song by MOOG: Oh yeah!
And the Mira is done: HELL YEAH!!!
Done?
Hey, the new Tool album is amazing
@@iDrive4fun93 meh.
@@iDrive4fun93 backed, it's like an hour and a half of Jambi and I'm into it in a big way
Nailed it.
This is the only car UA-cam channel that can bring a tear to my eye.
Long Live MCM
Been watching you guys for years. As a kustom car shop owner and operator I've always loved your dedication to your cars and iginuity. Keep it up guys I'll always keep watching, you got a fan in South Georgia USA!
What a masterpiece of storytelling. Incredible writing, piecing together footage, music, and presentation. I'm always blown away at what these guys can do. Absolutely amazing video, Marty and Moog.
TBH i started crying during the opening sequence, powerful words my friend
Beautifully narrated Marty. Well done :)
This has to be my favourite ever build. So much love and passion has gone in to something most people wouldn't look twice at. It's pure love for a special car
Well done! I have loved watching this run its course. From Marty jumping for joy the first time, to the surprise when he found out it wasn’t crushed it was imported. To putting the project together and watching all the finishing. Simply awesome!
that is the cleanest 90's mira ever! i cant wait for moog's WRC replica 420hp/torque stick shift yaris project!
The camera work, music and voice over on this was fantastic. Love the ending haha. Keep up the great work guys :)
I just re-watched this series again and have to say that MCM truly makes the best car content out there! This was an amazing story about a car I could not have cared less about at the beginning of the series but then grew to really enjoy more with each passing episode. Keep it up!
Martin. Your voice over was so well done. Emotional and compelling. Moog. Your musical accompaniment was spot on as usual. Gentlemen. I love your channel. I only wish you weren't half-a-world-away.
