BENNIE KERKHOF'S MID ENGINE HONDA DEL SOL

[@nbookie]

Wonder if there's a Honda engineer out there somewhere watching the video screaming, jumping up and down yelling "told you we should have done it that way. that's exactly how we should have done it. it would have been so easy to do it right".

[@JAYDMGYM]

nbookie doubt it🤣 probably on vacation in the Bahamas 🇧🇸

[@mramisuzuki6962]

They were never going to do this with the NSX and all the work they did in it. DS and CRX have been getting MR Swaps since launch of those cars. They should have been at least RW or given the Integra limited slip system.

[@benniekerkhof]

nice man! thanks for featuring my car! 😍👌

[@902isfake]

Bennie Kerkhof amazing build, nice job!

[@eXavierSabine]

Bennie Kerkhof you did a crazy good job on this build

[@Big_Serb]

gefeliciteerd met t door de keuring krijgen, zal wel ff zweten geweest zijn.

[@jdmsidewayz5336]

can I have it lol

[@michaelcarr4748]

Brian Torres... Right? I want one too!

[@bushdog]

I don't know if anyone has commented on the fucking WORK you put in to do the 3d effect of the moving still images. as someone who does illustrator/ps work...I'm fucking impressed. great video and great build.

[@BuildThreadsNorway]

Thanks:)

[@iflyhondas1916]

Yea the moving still images are just amazing and the video too man!

[@dragantoe]

Is this a lytro camera or some effect? it looks crazy cool!

[@BuildThreadsNorway]

No, it's all just manual photoshop;)

[@chiefslief1886]

you said it man!

[@iTzDaNiiLo]

Had goosebumps throughout the whole video. He definitely saw his dream car and made it a dream come true

[@reneantonio91]

one of the best honda builds i ever seen, great work

[@luuklugtigheid1867]

Bennie beat Honda at it's own game, great job

[@rickross7402]

Mini Nsx , very cool

[@黒キツネ-九零二一零]

Or Honda's answer to the mr2

[@IN54ANE]

Like of the nsx and sk2 had a baby

[@ameerramchand5606]

I'm lost for words . this just shows that dreams can come true . I always wanted another kid engine honda and it makes me feel good to know that someone has accomplished this dream of mine. mad respect man . nothing is impossible

[@lamprosger.9094]

WOW! You made what Honda should had made from the factory! Amazing project!

[@brendanedwards1416]

"The civic front end was welded to the rear of the del sol" something that's never been said before lol. Awesome build👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@TechWiz1983]

What a blast she must be to race.. awesome job, love the passion you put into this.

[@RawkustvOfficial]

Damn!! Mind blown! The amount of work that went into this project is insane. Really enjoyed watching this video.

[@TofuProductionCinema]

Awesome quote in the beginning. Keep up the great videos. Probably one of my favorite subscriptions in a long time.

[@lssjbrogeta]

now that is dedication

[@Mista808]

The dislikes for this amazing video must have been on accident? Why would ANYONE dislike this video? The dedication, passion, commitment, expertise, including a lot of money was invested into this project.. but of course like with anything else.. HATE HATE HATE HATE...

[@ElReySupr3me]

Such a quality build with so much passion

[@mralldayiskate100]

is this not the coolest build ever?! good job dude this is amazing

[@bizzyfingers]

These cars should have always been this configuration

[@GL0BETREKKER]

Amazing car as well as video! Thanks for making/sharing brother!

[@paobaos]

I love the quote at the beginning keep up the great work guys

[@bas133]

I have seen this car irl and its done to such a high standard you would think it came from the factory rear engined

[@allmotordc5rallmotorfa575]

amazing build. watched this vid back in early 2017 an always find myself back at this vid. as a huge honda enthusiast myself i have a few projects myself but this is just amazing craftsman ship an patience. great built man.👌

[@wingmangt]

So much work to basically turn it into an MR2. Awesome build never the less.

[@BuildThreadsNorway]

I guess we'll have to wait and see if someone turns an MR2 into a Del Sol by moving the drivetrain to the front:')

[@jaymills85]

WingManGT yeah but the fact that it's not an MR2 sets it apart. and parts won't be as expensive as the dying MR2..

[@48884BB]

only it looks better, it's more unique, and it has a lot more power.

[@TheFracturedfuture]

The Del sol is much prettier than the MR2 tho.

[@KarsUpGraders]

This is a true love story, is just amazing and inspiring

[@TCreatorO]

If the del sol came with a mid engine from factory I would've owned 1 in a heart beat

[@TCreatorO]

​@darkrulier I already had a 1991 sw21 MR2, and I loved it, but im too tall for it, which is what has inspired me to research people building their own mid engine car, I already bought a 1993 geo prizm, im going to redesign it, and turn it into a longer mid engine car, im planning to install either a K or a J series drivetrain, depending what I get when I find the right donor, if I get a J series donor, I may put that in my element, and swap the k24 from my element into the rear of the prizm. I already bought most of the rearend parts I will use to redesign the body, I got a set of 2nd gen porsche cayenne headlights, but they look like they may be too big for this car, might go with aftermarket 7th gen celica headlights, we shall see 😎👍🏼

[@Schumi8105]

This car and video were perfectly done! Great job!! Mad skills!

[@MonkeyWrenching]

This is exactly what I’ve always wanted to do with a del sol

[@billyvesar]

Beautiful video dude! You did an amazing job

[@itsmepablo4398]

a really nice built Bro Nederlanders zijn de beste tuners hè :)

[@bas133]

it's me Pablo Stoeptunerzz

[@audiwankenobi361]

WOW!....and you have clip after clip showing the world that you ain't scared to beat on it alittle?!....mad respect man!

[@Mario-ef4wl]

you got there a unique car, awesome project, tons of work onto it wow you really must love del sol's to spend so much time and effort onto it

[@loft4me]

There's the easy way, there's the hard way, and then there's this way, the throw up your hands, "what am I doing?" way. Crazy resolve, craft and engineering abilities, deep pockets. Amazing.

[@ThatDude458]

Wow, amazing build and dope editing

[@n3er0o]

what an awesome ride and this video is truly great. your editing skills are really really good and you made what is basically a slideshow, look really really good!

[@onesidequeens]

Best edits so far! Awesome work!!

[@Mighty2ThaMax]

hands down best Del Sol ever and good video👍

[@joekannoo]

I never comment, but this is just beautiful. Honda should see this. The Power of Dreams.

[@emersonmerida9025]

amazing build. one of the best I've ever seen.

[@BuildThreadsNorway]

Any Honda owners out there? Which model and what mods? Would be interesting to hear in the comments:-)

[@Patekrs]

Build Threads my brother has a stock Honda Accord 😂😂

[@KrazeHDx]

Bone stock 93 Honda Del Sol

[@bandnerdo2000]

Build Threads 1986 CRX Si. Del sol seats and enkei 92 wheels but other than that it's bone stock

[@youngwolf6601]

Build Threads how much did all that cost ? And how long?

[@BuildThreadsNorway]

You should read this article: www.wanganwarriors.com/honda-del-sol-youre-not-expecting/ Lots of info there. On a project like this it's difficult to define when the build process starts and when it's done, and as a lot of fabrication work was done by Bennie himself, cost in time is difficult to translate into money.

[@dailymods9308]

nice asf😍 so much respect a very thorough build💯

[@jettaphi1e]

I've often thought to myself how sweet a mid engined Del Sol would be. Nicely done!

[@TheGeeps]

i enjoyed watching this and motivated me to keep my del sol and work it

[@TheJorgern]

That's awesome I love it. I have a del sol and love the little cars

[@matthewbell5162]

So clean! Very well built. I am contemplating doing this to a CRX and I think this just convinced me.

[@ModerzQs]

The cleanest Honda I've ever seen man true art work

[@itstroydarren]

Amazing build man! Wow.

[@LinearJaguar_7JR]

Wow this is a beautiful project. Congratulations you hit it out the park with this one!!

[@skittishclan]

How can't some of you admire the work this guy put into this car to make it one of a kind?

[@shombiedixon7017]

love how them headers went purple when they heated up. Big thumps up on your RWD

[@SOLOIIguru]

Such a sick del sol. Incredible work on this build, Bennie

[@funkyfunkyfunk1]

Incredible, good job man!

[@demonramen]

[@brandonbassett7887]

He took it to the next level never seen someone go that far

[@letmefindout81]

in this world we have dreamers and we builders, you sir are a builder. congrats on the beautiful bud

[@nwatari123]

I wish that car channels would use this car in their shitty ricer vs tuner videos instead of comparing a honda exhaust to a supra or gtr's. This build is awesome

[@riyuiwashere]

Yea lol

[@jonathonsmith7694]

nice to see someone made a MR out of a Del sol, I own a MR2 AW11 and seen a Del Sol and was like, why didn't Honda make that an MR???

[@riyuiwashere]

The old NSX is MR layout

[@enutin]

respect !! good job man!

[@SeekAndDestroy5]

Well done on the build, absolutely flawless! This must be one of the funnest cars around! I've dreamt of doing this with my k20a2 someday... Would be unreal

[@FailsbyZh3frankanomics]

I've got nothing but love for this build

[@DANGER__ZONE_]

I was just reading this the otherday, glad there's a video on it now!

[@chrislabago5426]

Love this build, keep it up man.

[@tamrongphoeurngD4L]

💯💯percent props. moves amazing and sounds good. keep up the good work.. show some highway pulls with other car

[@jdlyion]

Awesome work mate! You and who ever helped you took on a massive project, but the result is stunning. Really nice to see someone take the time to edit the video properly and put some time into after effects with the photoshoped stills. Really makes a difference. Now I want to do that to my Del Sol Race car. Congrats

[@patocallaghan3648]

FairPlay bro!craicer of a build.that took a lot of blood sweet and tears

[@josephwoolfolk1735]

quite possibly the most impressive honda build I've seen yet...

[@michaelnunez1006]

So rad, this car is a De La Sol masterpiece beautiful 👌🏽

[@DutchmanSeb]

Wow, what a masterpiece of engineering work!

[@ilkersgarage]

woow. Excellent project, congratulations Bennie

[@LessTalkMoreDelicious]

Wow. The most impressive Honda build I've ever seen in my life. I bet you would make a good living converting other people's Hondas to MR Rwd ;)

[@billycranston5481]

97 civic B16 turbo swap adjustable suspension full exhaust tons of mods. Always a work in progress much love for hondas after all these years.

[@ERG85]

[@EdoBeats]

[@BlakesWrld]

Clean project, I think this is how Honda should built this car

[@ballerbeats3493]

Woohoo, Netherlands! Bennie je hebt 1 van de sickste Honda's van Nederland. 👍

[@DjRjSolarStar]

[@darrelltuttle8298]
