With old mates body-kit fabrication; I can see sorta how he did it, but do you have a video or interview with him, or an MCM2 video about how he completely did it? I have a little bit of experience in making fibreglass/bondo props, but for the life of me, can't figure out how this one managed to stay on the car. So.
Main Questions
1) The MDF looks narrow and as heavy as a general sheet of it. So is the MDF still attached to the car, or was the skeleton sheeted over and a fibreglass mold (not sure of right term there) of it left behind?
1. 1) For that matter, was it even fibreglass that was attached, or was it a seperate cast made from a plastic (or aluminum) compound?
2) How was the MDF (or fibreglass mold) joined to the car? It looks sturdy and not likely to rattle and bounce around on the road; which eliminates that it was pure adhesive, was it bolted or riveted on (and the hardware being bondo'ed over again?
3) I understand bog can be heavy, I assume due to the way that the fibreglass (or fibreglassed MDF) was attached, that it could support the weight, and not just crumple and fall away from the car. So again, is it MDF supporting the bondo underneath the fibreglass, or is it just pure fibreglass?
If anybody could answer, or direct me to an answer, would be greatly appreciated!

More pros than cons having a manual. Extract more power from a stock engine, full control, easier to get out of bogs and a much higher resale value if you own a Ford or Holden. Clutch start when battery is dead. Autos are good for blowjobs when you're driving, if you're into that kind of risk. Pot-holed roads and you might head butt a tree if you close your eyes. very risky. You didn't hear it from me. Oh, if you MOD guys want a real car to do up, have a HR Holden barnyard find. Two things, 1. You give it back. 2. Change one line, cut flutes into the guards. I'll kill you. slow. The things they did in the 70's. Found a HR with twin headlights, a real Rolls Royce Grille welded in with HQ Statesman rear lights. A Gold Premiere X2. needless to say, treated that person with utter contempt.

Oh - and I have to giggle every time I see a WD-40 can - how many people do actually know what that name means? It stands for 'War Department, patent number 40' - that's how old and British that crap is. I still prefer Duck Oil by Swarfega, because it doesnt stink like cheao cologne like the WD or if you can get your hands on the real thing, get some awesome German 'Caramba' to penetrate any stubborn and rusted on parts. That stuff really does what it says on thee can!
One other thing guys, please, please grease up the battery terminals on all your cars, especially when living close to the sea. It really helps to prevent corrosion build-up!

How come the mechanical Stig owns a 'K' car in Australia when you guys said in an older video that none of them are exported from Japan to any country in the whole word? Remember the Japanese auction house? Yes, I have been watching al of your episodes so far.
Is there a legal 'grey' area now, because I want to drive one in the UK, We do have very small 3 cylinder cars here you can drive with a motorcycle drivers licence, but they looks SOOO Euro crappy cheap: oP I hate paying the greedy British government too much!

hi, my name is grant. i have a 1991 daihatsu charade 1. 0 3 cyl. efi that wont start. we were told it was the fuel pump. so we changed that and the fuel filter. but still wont start. it pumps fuel to the filter. we know it will start because it runs for a short time when we put fuel into the intake. we were told that it was a crank position sensor, but we cant find it on the block. it sat for 7 years until we bought it. no shops wants to touch it because its a daihatsu. any information helps thanks mcm

You should put a 350 Chevy in with one of the shitiest cars ever power wise. There's a few around here and with the power to rate ratio you can't beat it. Cheap to do and the k car is is the worst car you can get power wise. If you don't still love your show. keep up the good work. your show is awesome guys keep up the good work guys.

Im all for Manual cars and i wish i had one but currently have an auto, but i hate it when i see people say man up and get a manual. Not everyone is able to drive a manual car so what! its not that big of a deal if your car is auto or manual, the main thing is that the car gets you from A to B and back to A

I love the way MCM has turned their show in to such a high quality show, but it's really cool to go back and look at the classics! And it's pretty fun that they are still as awesome today as they where five years ago!

when Australians, Asians, and most europeans hear k-car, they think of these things. when Americans hear k-car, we think of the Dodge Aries, Plymouth Reliant, and Chrysler LeBaron. :P
