your work and this car deserves all the praise it gets. I've seen bits on socials but never saw the full amount of work you've put into it! Sensational work!
As someone who does this for a living, but with much older cars, its awesome watching it happen on something so new, and seeing it done properly is great! Love the attention to detail! Wonderful job brother! How many coats of clear are you spraying before the cut and buff?
Thank you sir! I actually have been working in restoration for the last 2.5 years and finally got the chance to do one of my own! As far as the clear, I shot it the initial time with 2 coats with flake then 2 coats on top with none, then scratch padded the whole thing and dumped 3 more on top, about a week or 2 later I blocked the whole car with 4/600 and put 3 more coats as a flow coat, then wetsand and polished. I left those steps out of this video as they all look the same and would’ve just been me spraying the car for a few minutes lol it was a ton of work to bury the flakes.
@@_nickscraig absolutely perfect! I was hoping to see those, but I definitely understand the repetitiveness of clearing, nothing really changes during those coats, other than orange peel flowing out. I've been painting now for 20+ years, started when I was 14, and never stopped. Mainly do old hotrods though... I might be the only one thats wanted to watch the clear coat! 😂 Either way, very talented after that short of time! Keep killin it, glad to see the profession being taught properly.
Dude... You did an incredible job with that S15! The body work and the paint was in a great shape I can't express in words how much I enjoyed watching your video building this car! Please, keep up with some more projects!
This is amazing work. Especially do it all by yourself. Any recommendations on the best way to learn how to do all that, painting, welding, etc, everything you did in the video?
Thank you! Honestly I’ve been doing this type of work for about 9-10 years now, easiest way to learn is to just do yourself and practice with small stuff man! I try to show a lot of the processes and some tips in my videos so if youre interested try checking my other videos out
Some cars are not worth restoring this most certainly isn't one of them. Beautiful car and I'm a sucker for convertibles especially with a retractable hardtop
This video just came up on my recomendations, loved the vibes and loved the end result, good job man!! Btw what color code is this? its gorgeous want to paint mine aswell.
Is this the one Dylan imported?? Hella random that I'm seeing this pop up in my recommend videos all the way out here in Cambodia haha. Great job though man! Looks phenomenal
wow wow wow, this is a transformation, cool guys, well done you guys. is there still an opportunity to watch a video about old cars completed in sports cars?
Did the s15 release a convertible? Especially hard top?! I had no idea!! Good work and well done. I'd love that. I'm just amazed they made a convertible.... Or was that you? Im in the UK so commenters no laughing at me for lack of knowledge. Otherwise. Middle finger on things i may know that you don't....ahem....anyway.
@@_nickscraig learn something new everyday. I'm 40 - and today i drive a Peugeot 3008 mk 1.6 turbo diesel 110hp. It gets 69mpg. Ive traded rpm fir mpg!! Sad...but true.

this is my dream car too, i know nothing about fixing cars tho, if i can ever buy thid car i cant even fix something but my dream is to buy an s15 and built it too i am so glad for you
Hahah not quite lessons, but I’ve posted a few full videos of me doing the fiberglass work on this car if you car to take a look back in my channel a little Thanks man! Appreciate that
Front bumper I heavily modified, sides I did extensive fiberglass to get to fit to the body how I wanted, I hand built the spoiler and the rear seat cover!
I believe you’re referring to the body filler, it is spread on in low/wavy areas then blocked down flat to leave only what is needed to make a panel straight again
To be fair in this video I skipped a lot of stuff but I literally built the spoiler from scratch, the rear seat cover from scratch, completely modified the front bumper, rolled/bumped fenders and quarters out to fit the 17x10+10 wheels, I quite literally built the entire car other then the engine bay which will come when I figure out what I wanna go with.
whats the yellow paste he puts on the car and what’s it do Why does it look like he makes paper mashay (ik its spelt wrong but u get the idea) for form work or something? cheers
The yellow paste is body filler, it’s used to fill in lower areas after metal work has been completed in damaged and repaired areas, the other stuff I believe you’re referring to is fibreglass mat and resin to build custom shapes and then finish with body filler again to smooth it out Thanks!
Yeah I know stupid question now that I’ve watched some of the video I noticed the 34 so I’m assuming you’ve been an importing cars to the US for a while
Silvia Varietta always looked awesome to me! That paint job was amazing!
The amount of skill and attention to details in this video is out of this world! Fascinated by your work!
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it
Could not word it better myself, no shortcuts taken all done so flawlessly
@@haydenedward2574 thank you man appreciate that! Always try to do things to the best of my abilities
your work and this car deserves all the praise it gets. I've seen bits on socials but never saw the full amount of work you've put into it! Sensational work!
Thank you man means a ton!
Never thought I'd like a convertible so much. The hard top makes it even better
People are always shocked it’s a hardtop once I put the top up haha
Beautiful. Clean. Subtle.
Take something, make it your own.
Always loved the proportions, stance gives it presence.
Thank you man much appreciated!
Shame on the one who left that Silvia to rot. Nice job on reviving this beauty. Love the color...❤
Thank you, I appreciate that!
Fascinated by the whole process.. Ptops to the work involved in cleaning it up so well!
Appreciate that man! Means a lot

10/10 video, work and car!
Thank you!!
It's rare to come across a convertible s15, like this one.
I’ve never wanted a convertible until seeing this, it’s absolutely stunning with the top up and top down.
Thank you sir I really appreciate that! Certain angles I like the top up more tbh
WWWW I’ve always wanted a s15 so jealous (great work on the car it is so clean and love what you did to it)
Thank you!
That's a SICK Ride!
Thank you 🙏🏼
Dude it was stick watching amazing work
Thank you man! Glad you enjoyed it
Nicely done Varietta...
Appreciate that!
Sheeeeshhh That paint is awsome😍
Thank you man!
You will quickly have millions of views! Awesome work
Hahah I’m not sure about that but I’m definitely surprised it’s even gone this high, thanks!
Brilliant!!!!work never even there were convertible S15s also where did you purchase that flake to add in the clear
Thanks man! Yeah they are rather rare with just over 1000 made. The flake I used is made by a company called “paint huffer metallics” on Instagram
Never seen a drop top Silvia before this is wild🤙🏾
Thanks man! They’re pretty rare just over 1100 made.
Yooo, i just know that s15 had the cabrio one, so sick..
Brooo! That's CLEAN❤
Thank you man!!
Dude, this car is just sick, i shocked completly when i found out the car was a Verietta S15, amazing work
Thanks! A lot of people don’t know they made these!
This is amazing work. Especially do it all by yourself. Any recommendations on the best way to learn how to do all that, painting, welding, etc, everything you did in the video?

I had no clue there were s15 convertibles!
Only about 1100 of them made! Haha
@@_nickscraig you have one rare car there!
Is this the one Dylan imported?? Hella random that I'm seeing this pop up in my recommend videos all the way out here in Cambodia haha. Great job though man! Looks phenomenal
Yes it is! Haha Dylan is a really good friend of mine and he imported this for me a few years ago. That’s awesome
@@_nickscraig ya I used to spent countless hours at his shop when I lived in the creek every day about a decade ago 😂
Great attention to detail, epic color also…..
Thank you sir! Much appreciated
Awesome work! How much does it costs for materials?
Thanks! This was a little over 3k in materials, a lot of clear coat went onto the car to bury the flake.
The convertible makes it looks like a s14
Interesting observation hahah can’t say I’ve heard that one before
Dudeeee crazyyyyyy 😌
Thank you man🙏🏼
Did not know these came in convertible
wow wow wow, this is a transformation, cool guys, well done you guys. is there still an opportunity to watch a video about old cars completed in sports cars?

Did the s15 release a convertible? Especially hard top?! I had no idea!!
Good work and well done. I'd love that.
I'm just amazed they made a convertible....
Or was that you? Im in the UK so commenters no laughing at me for lack of knowledge. Otherwise. Middle finger on things i may know that you don't....ahem....anyway.
Yessir they only made about 1100 of them and were only sold in Japan, autech was responsible for these cars much like many other rare Nissan models!

Yeah they’re definitely not for everyone!
Brutal, the color is top

this is my dream car too, i know nothing about fixing cars tho, if i can ever buy thid car i cant even fix something but my dream is to buy an s15 and built it too i am so glad for you
Thank you man! There’s a lot of these around in great shape without needing much work, but they’ll cost you quite a bit in that condition haha
@@_nickscraig i hope i can buy one in the future
Nice job dude it came out awesome! ~ new subscriber
Thanks man much appreciated!
What is longer, the hood or the trunk lid? LoL
Nice work man.
Hahah I’m actually not sure, had them both off and the trunk is definitely heavier😂
Man I wish they had these in the states lol
Wow u did a nice job man 👍🏻
Thanks!
I need you to do my Nissan s14 240 sx se just like that with the same purple color good job 👍
I didnt even know these existed. Hard top convertable?
About 1100 of them!
im loving it.
Thank you man!
You offer lessons on fiberglass work? I need some educationals… great damn job!
Hahah not quite lessons, but I’ve posted a few full videos of me doing the fiberglass work on this car if you car to take a look back in my channel a little
Thanks man! Appreciate that
Did you really make your own body kit?
Front bumper I heavily modified, sides I did extensive fiberglass to get to fit to the body how I wanted, I hand built the spoiler and the rear seat cover!
Awesome car congrats 🎉🎉🎉
Thank you 🤗
I am just learning today that these came in a hardtop convertible.
Whats the purpose of putting that yellowish paste and then removing it? (learning)
I believe you’re referring to the body filler, it is spread on in low/wavy areas then blocked down flat to leave only what is needed to make a panel straight again
glitter is nice😌🔥
I didn't see any building. Just painting. Beautiful color though. Looks great.

I would do this stuff when i grow up i will keep all the jdm cars alive even when electric cars take over the world
Yes definitely🤝🤝
@garasidrif ini s15 asli atau udh di modifikasi supaya atapnya bisa kebuka sendiri
It’s made by autech they made 1100 with these retractable tops, but they were sold by Nisan this way!
