eel1331 or when they don’t quite make it and slide down the side from the roof of your hatchback multiple times🤬 I had a few strays on my property and they caused hundreds in damage to my baby not to mention my 66 chevy I had to have my car and truck buffed and detailed I called the pound that day because the shit isn’t cheap and I love my vehicles those cats did nothing but cause damage and attack my husky who just wanted to play with them
Special that’s the thing my 66 chevy is black lol it burns to the touch in the summer but where I live the wind is still pretty cool so the truck is warm not hot and the little pricks love it my car on the other hand is “light tundra metallic” which is a greenish silvery metallic so it’s quite cool in the sun in my truck I can’t even rest my arm on the door sill while driving lol psssssss aaaaahhhhh
Ok.....one step closer. You really should build a work bench. You could make a film on the build. Build the perfect work bench for a car builder/modder, and a film maker. You could add all the tools for mechanical work and tools for film making. Vice, chop saw etc, then lighting, dollies etc. Do it geez. Jon. London.
If you use 3M 4240 epoxy, it will be stonger plus it is sandable within an hour. I use it on dash mods to hold in ABS plastic panels. It's worth the money. The JB plastic bonder cracks over time and with what you are going to do with this car, that might be a bad thing. Just a little insight.
Yo Gingium, just wanted to say, the quality your latest videos has been frickin awesome. Especially the last video with the rally Miata. Keep it up bro!
You need to do a live stream when you are working on just fixing the van or something else I don’t care I just think it would be cool. Like if you agree
Retro Buttercup I would totally donate during a livestream. The only thing that I could see a issue with a livestream is the auto zone trips and that parts that need to be ordered. But I think he will have enough stuff to do for a solid 45 min 1 hour livestream
I'm guessing the things in the boxes are rock sliders or tube bumpers. ALSO! you should TOTALLY do an ACTUAL off-road build!!! Get a Toyota truck, 4 runner, Jeep Cherokee, Geo tracker, or something along those lines. Do an actual budget off-road build you can take Wheeling! I have a 3000gt vr4, an na Miata, and an rx8, and I recently got into 4 wheel drive with my 90 4runner and I have to say it's just as fun of not more fun as road cars because you can take 4 other people with you!
I like the outro with just a timelapse you cleaning up. Idk why, it makes it feel like a credits reel from a TV show or something. The vids are so much better with you not so salty about the battle van!
With your small holes and in perfections on plastic, a trick I've learnt from my 3d printed objects is to use some baby powder and super glue, if you have no baby powder flour works fine as well, cheap diy bondo but sticks and sands really well on plastic. I've also used normal bondo but it takes a lot more prep work to get it looking nice on plastic specifically the blended sections.
Shaved my head after you did it, thanks for the motivation. Battle van after the bus build was not a viewers choice award... but yeah build a drift truck... or a lambo, that'll get views if that's what your chasin
Totally like the center now it looks great for what you did to it. I think you think about flocking the center now, it could hide the little imperfections on the sides.
It looks good it's not just like the one that you showed us but looks really good and especially compared to what was in there before plus it's unique to you
You can get a plastic weld putty. It comes in a stick with the hardener in the middle. Just cut off a chunk and knead it in your hard until one color. It sticks to plastic and can be sanded. Takes a good day to dry tough.
You can also use something called Milliput. It is similar, but can be molded after applying with water. Here is a video where I use the other epoxy. ua-cam.com/video/bteeJshxxsA/v-deo.html
3M makes a special filler that we use on bumpers it’s very rigid but has just enough flexibility. It’s 2 part comes in a tube hardens in 15 minutes sometimes less. It’s called EZ Sand bumper repair
Gingium, a thought, maybe you should take the parts you cut and the ones for the switch panel/gauges to a 3d printer shop, or draw/ sculpt it in CAD yourself, so you have a part that looks better and is likely stronger then the cut parts. might also be easier to paint/cover the 3d parts as well. If there is a hacker space in your area they might be willing to do it also cheaper. or for the cost of you joining the location like most do. it would give you access to more esoteric tools for weird projects as well.
i really liked this as an idea. i think it could have been executed better but your right for nearly free its awesome. i need to do something like this on my car, but adding in cup holders. my car came with the cup holders on a slide out thing directly infront of the shifter. if i put a cup there i end up punching it when i shift into gear >.> i have no other cup holders D=
I love how he said the rally miata was built really cheaply last video, and that he was gonna splash the cash on it now- then he saves $100 on a crappy plastic centre console😂😂😂😁 Besides the contradictedness of the video, it was GREAT and I can’t wait for more on the rally miata👍👍
It looks good, I did something similar to this in my mustang racecar, if it suits your needs it isn't dumb. Now if this was a daily I would say keep the arm rest. haha
I died when the skyrim quest update thing came on
lol same
I was sure it's from a game but I didn't know what game it was from
rip
f
pess f
This is one of those UA-camrs with video quality of a 10 Million subscriber UA-camr, Gingium, we love you, never stop doing UA-cam
He did not just hit us with that Skyrim new quest banner 😂😂😂
should have flocked the center console itll prolly hide the imperfections. Love this though
Bimmer Dude no mate. I prefer the contrast between the gloss parts and the flocked dash
Absolutely not, it would look bad when the tombstone is flat black. And if he would flock both it would just look stupid, it would be just too much.
It would be too much then
Flock isn’t durable enough to use on that area. I suggested suede
It would look good until it wore off.
Don't let your cat get used to walking on your car... Trust me. They use claws when they jump off.
eel1331 or when they don’t quite make it and slide down the side from the roof of your hatchback multiple times🤬 I had a few strays on my property and they caused hundreds in damage to my baby not to mention my 66 chevy I had to have my car and truck buffed and detailed I called the pound that day because the shit isn’t cheap and I love my vehicles those cats did nothing but cause damage and attack my husky who just wanted to play with them
Arthur 115 fuck yeah. My cat has like two stray friends and they all like to lay on my car, I keep scaring them though haha
This is why my car is staying black. I always park it in the sun and animals just stay away from it cus its boiling hot.
Special that’s the thing my 66 chevy is black lol it burns to the touch in the summer but where I live the wind is still pretty cool so the truck is warm not hot and the little pricks love it my car on the other hand is “light tundra metallic” which is a greenish silvery metallic so it’s quite cool in the sun in my truck I can’t even rest my arm on the door sill while driving lol psssssss aaaaahhhhh
damn that sucks. yea i know the feeling haha, the amount of times ive burned away the hair on my elbow from the center console...

Can't wait for Caleb Block drifting his 840hp AWD miata. Lol
I can't belive my comment has no replies.
Wait...
If you use 3M 4240 epoxy, it will be stonger plus it is sandable within an hour. I use it on dash mods to hold in ABS plastic panels. It's worth the money. The JB plastic bonder cracks over time and with what you are going to do with this car, that might be a bad thing. Just a little insight.
Flock the gauge surround. Look at other rally cars. Theirs are flocked
I dig that you’re keeping the van!!!!!!! Thank you
I like it. I didn’t think it looked good at first when you just held them up together. It looks awesome now that you finished it
Can you film the old boring stuff on the Van? I like watching you work on your vehicles
Yeah may as well, though I guess it might be faster to just fix it without filming, but could do a time lapse or something.
This is like only car channel now-a-days that won't clickbait it's watchers, props my boyium gingium
Going for the "Mr. Burns" look huh!! I dig it
Yo Gingium, just wanted to say, the quality your latest videos has been frickin awesome. Especially the last video with the rally Miata. Keep it up bro!
You need to do a live stream when you are working on just fixing the van or something else I don’t care I just think it would be cool. Like if you agree
That be sick!
I agree I like the van lol
I'd watch a live stream of battle van work
(live donations?;)
Retro Buttercup I would totally donate during a livestream. The only thing that I could see a issue with a livestream is the auto zone trips and that parts that need to be ordered. But I think he will have enough stuff to do for a solid 45 min 1 hour livestream
I'm glad you aren't just selling or scrapping the van. Fix it and snatch victory from the jaws of defeat!
Dropped a like, don’t have time to watch right now but I’ll be back later

The flocked dash and the new shifter/window switch piece looks really well done as well. The skyrim reference was on point.
The console looks pretty legit! Good job!
light bars for the van???!!!
:0
Can't wait to get my own project car! You've given me some great ideas of what to do!
Why do I feel that I like every car you buy
Yeah man, take a little break from the battle van and get "YOUR" motivation back for it. You seemed really excited when you purchased it and so was I.
I like the outro with just a timelapse you cleaning up. Idk why, it makes it feel like a credits reel from a TV show or something. The vids are so much better with you not so salty about the battle van!
I still love the steampunk/aircraft theme the speedo and stuff have in the rally miata
I really like what you did with the center cownsowl
I like the console. I'm so glad you kept the van. I hope you put videos out about the build I know I like them.
With your small holes and in perfections on plastic, a trick I've learnt from my 3d printed objects is to use some baby powder and super glue, if you have no baby powder flour works fine as well, cheap diy bondo but sticks and sands really well on plastic. I've also used normal bondo but it takes a lot more prep work to get it looking nice on plastic specifically the blended sections.
I love that u just brushed off the cat walking on your car ik so many people that would be pissed im glad someone sees its not that big a deal
Small fab work is rewarding. You need to sand bit more. A note. Black plastidip gives an oem like finish and hides small imperfections.
Shaved my head after you did it, thanks for the motivation. Battle van after the bus build was not a viewers choice award... but yeah build a drift truck... or a lambo, that'll get views if that's what your chasin
Totally like the center now it looks great for what you did to it. I think you think about flocking the center now, it could hide the little imperfections on the sides.
I really like your center console mod. Looks good, seems practical. Flock it to cover the imperfections and match it to the dash.
good plan for the battle van
That battle van is sweet. It looks so good!
That center-console looks pretty good actually. I like it.
Im liking the new "outro" were you clean youre shop up with a timelaps (Sorry Bad english, im german :D)
The Max your english isint that bad
its actually quite good
that center console looks dope compared to the old one!
I know this isn’t really rally-style, but having two spare wheels stored poking out of the trunk (like a trophy truck) would look awesome!
Now this is creative... Nice
It’s console not council lol
i was totally going to leave this comment if you didnt already
I love the Skyrim quest update! Reminds me of the olden days!
The center console looks great, but now you need to check your window switches to make sure they aren't backwards. Looks good though!
I love your video this is my 2 years of watching gingium almost every day
Looks awesome dude. And as others have said flock it it’ll hide most of the imperfections
It looks good it's not just like the one that you showed us but looks really good and especially compared to what was in there before plus it's unique to you
Finally you change from the ugly green!!!! So much better. Keep up the good work. Can’t wait for this build to get its engine

Love the center console! I am now very much considering doing the same thing in my miata.
I love videos with time lapse tedious work ❤️
The box’s are either light bars or bash bars if you’re not making them your self
3M makes a special filler that we use on bumpers it’s very rigid but has just enough flexibility. It’s 2 part comes in a tube hardens in 15 minutes sometimes less. It’s called EZ Sand bumper repair
I love the hood mounted gauges idea I agree that the vent mounts kinda suck
That looks really legit wow. Cool work!
Hey in Byron they have rally cross at the motocross track. Just FYI. Should only be an hour from you.
keep it up Caleb! your videos are my inspiration bro.
Center stack looks very nice.
Gingium, a thought, maybe you should take the parts you cut and the ones for the switch panel/gauges to a 3d printer shop, or draw/ sculpt it in CAD yourself, so you have a part that looks better and is likely stronger then the cut parts. might also be easier to paint/cover the 3d parts as well. If there is a hacker space in your area they might be willing to do it also cheaper. or for the cost of you joining the location like most do. it would give you access to more esoteric tools for weird projects as well.
Love the rally Miata videos way better then the battle van keep it up
Love the way u did the dashboard
Center console looks awesome
That fire exit on top of the bus (if it has one) you should turn into a sunroof made out of plexiglass so hail doesn’t break it! Just a suggestion.
ROCK SLIDERS FOR THE BATTLE VAN?
I think you took a W with redoing your console , good job baldium
Center console looks great!
Like u said if u put more effert into it it would be better but for the effect needed u did very well good work keep it up
I think the Rx-7 should be the main daily because it has much more trunk space and Molly is the weekend car
i really liked this as an idea. i think it could have been executed better but your right for nearly free its awesome.
i need to do something like this on my car, but adding in cup holders. my car came with the cup holders on a slide out thing directly infront of the shifter. if i put a cup there i end up punching it when i shift into gear >.> i have no other cup holders D=
Lol life audience + donations ahahah That was actually funny:)
You should get some black suede fabric and cover up the center console and other trim parts.
you should flock the cluster cover on the dash too, it looks too shiny still. great job though!
Dude, that looks so good.
You should paint the hood matte black, a lot of rally drivers did that because of the sun reflecting on it, it would match the theme of your interior
You should get cb radio wires for the back of the miata
you’re gonna want a backup (reverse) camera with the tire if it’s gonna be on the window btw
Rock sliders?
Center console looks sick
Are you going to be putting a sequential gearbox in there?
They’re rock sliders to protect the rocker panels
Looks GREAT!!!
Get a 555 livery wrap for the rally miata. Cause of the subaru wrx swap.
I love the center console and the skyrim quest 👌
maybe try wrapping the centre console??
If you use normal jb weld and let it set for the full 24 hours it sands just like bondo
Oh yes a center council xD
Exactly what I keep thinking 😂
Imma guess they are sliders for the battle van
I love how he said the rally miata was built really cheaply last video, and that he was gonna splash the cash on it now- then he saves $100 on a crappy plastic centre console😂😂😂😁 Besides the contradictedness of the video, it was GREAT and I can’t wait for more on the rally miata👍👍
try a bed-liner paint on the center console to hide the split!
It looks good, I did something similar to this in my mustang racecar, if it suits your needs it isn't dumb. Now if this was a daily I would say keep the arm rest. haha
Cant wait for the rally vidoe's with this sick miata
Bring out the rally Miata to SoCal and go desert racing! The suspension looks like it could handle that pretty well ;)
I think that doing the battle van off camera will be a great idea!
You should paint the inside of the headlights on the battlevan black
God idea on the van, but dont let it get out of hand! if its too far gone its too far gone
spot putty would work wonders
It's a cOnsole. A cOUnsil is something else
Badass bud ! Hit it with some flock and you would never see any flaws .
