Restoring the Entire Underside of my NA Miata!

Aidan Templin Video 10 months ago

Description

The light at the end of the tunnel has started to cast a shadow across the top of my dwindling ‘To-Do’ list, and the feeling is ethereal.

Just like that, another 2 months intentionally trapping myself in my shop all alone nearly every single day with my iPhone, a tripod, and my Miata in a thousand pieces. With each step of this restoration I learn more about the craft, myself, and my limits; sharpening my knife as I overcome each bump in the road.

At this point of the project, I’ve reached a point of metaphorical weightlessness from realizing the exact image of this car and its individual pieces are turning out exactly the way I’ve been imagining in my head for the last 11.5 years. I’m so grateful to be in a position where I can share this passion with a group of like-minded people who can, not only appreciate the art stripped down to its bare bones, but understand that it takes time to create things actually worth consuming.

I hope you all enjoy this one, I really can’t believe I can finally share what I’ve been up to these past 2 months. 🖤

One Love,
-Aidan.
