1988 CRX Si Restore Part 33 - Unexpected Damage

[@felipeantonio5616]

im subscribed to a lot of car content youtubers, but your upload is the one that makes me excited, cus i know its gonna be good

[@crxseth]

Thanks. I appreciate it!

[@CesarsCarCorner]

I can feel the frustration of the door and how it may have set you back. Best of luck getting to where you need it to paint the car; I know you got it!

[@crxseth]

Hoping I can figure out how to repair it and keep moving!

[@jamie7347]

I had a bumper shipped for an Integra several years ago and it wasn't packaged very well and I ended up throwing it away. Best of luck getting it sorted out. I commend your attention for detail and patience!

[@charlietravisphotography]

Bummer about the door :/ But you got this man! Cant wait to see it completed!

[@crxseth]

Thanks. I’m definitely ready to start re-assembling.

[@justind1180]

Man.. the disappointment in your voice matched what I felt when I saw the damage. Thats super unfortunate. 😞 you will get it sorted I'm sure!

[@vision27]

That's a bummer but hopefully it won't be too difficult to repair. Definitely looking forward to seeing how it'll turn out!

[@crxseth]

You and me both!

[@hadynmcloughlin4661]

Bummer with the door Seth keep up the positive energy and it will work out.

[@crxseth]

Thanks! I’m hoping to get past this small setback quickly.

[@eastcoastken]

Man that's a bummer! It's an unfortunate gamble with these older cars though.

[@victorwilks88]

Love the tunes !

[@ResearchDesignBuild]

I have some similar damage on the front edge of one of my doors so I will be happy to see how you make on with your repair. Hopefully give me some ideas on how to tackle my door.

[@crxseth]

Hammer and some small amount of body filler most likely.

[@jtyoung706]

Don't buy body parts that aren't shipped in a wooden box. I've learned my lesson with this one too many times!

[@crxseth]

Agreed.

[@PeterD207]

Yeah I got caught out myself. Managed to find a lovely VTI front lip and window reg for my civic from the sane person. To prepare for shipping they very tightly taped the reg to the middle of the lip and wrapped the thing in black cling and that was that. It came with a fold crease in the middle and badly distorted. Got away with it with lots of heat and massaging but yeah, I also wouldn't recommend :P

[@MissChristineC1990]

Damn that door did get a serious old beating. Guys on the 3rd gen accord forum offered to organise me 2 doors shipped to Ireland. Not sure it's a good idea! :S

[@crxseth]

Get it crated and it should be fine.

[@MissChristineC1990]

@@crxseth I'm hoping so!

Happy new years

[@janvos1986]

That a mess up seth. Damn delivery guys. Its in holland the same. They trow here headlights at you backyard. ✌🏻🇳🇱

[@dougt8854]

Very unfortunate. Love the content tho. Keep up the good work. Crx’s need you!

[@CrxBreizh]

Happy new year Seth 😁.

[@crxseth]

Happy new year!

[@Busydadgarage717]

So sorry, bro! That is really a rough one. Wish I had a door to send you!

[@OhYeahAboutThat]

Did that door have insurance from the shipper?

[@crxseth]

Unfortunately not.

[@Vkandypaint]

Damn that sucks, but you will figure it out!

[@soundboydesign1373]

Happy New Year ...yup, shitty puppy w that door... the portion of panel leading to door handle warps so easy...your right there... I can tell the energy vibe bro, breath...you know the way you portion the work is best...make sure you got the beats on while you work...kiss da wife before you start...one ❤️ big dawg!

[@Soniclr17]

Good job what's your spray gun ??

[@crxseth]

The primer gun is just the $20 Harbor Freight purple gun.

[@Soniclr17]

@@crxseth thanks

[@anthonystevens684]

Can you tell me if there was a salvage yard that sent you the door? Trying to locate a right door for my 88 from someone willing to ship to New England.

[@crxseth]

I got it from Mat Duba, but it was damaged in shipping. He may or may not ship a door again.

[@anthonystevens684]

@@crxseth Thank you! Love the videos! I keep stopping them when I see a part or wiring that I need to add or move from where people have chopped things up on mine.

[@TealEF90]

At this point it might be easier to just swap over the door skin , lot easier to fix the fold on one layer of metal instead of like 5 . Good luck . I'll be waiting for the progress

[@crxseth]

Swapping the door skin from what door? That’d be even more work than repairing these folds, I would think.

[@TealEF90]

@@crxseth I thought you said you had another door

[@crxseth]

@@TealEF90 They are rusty or damaged severely.

[@diversedad7954]

That sucks about that door man. Mine me of how my jdm front came in years ago building my car. I have a crx door sitting at the back of my property I would give you. Don't remember which side. 8 think it's drivers side. If you're ever anywhere close to Springfield mo hit me up. I'd even come meet you somewhere to save a little time.

[@crxseth]

I’m a little over five hours from there unfortunately. Is your door a pillar/mounted seatbelt door? ‘88?

[@diversedad7954]

@@crxseth It's a door mounted out of one of my old 91's. I accidentally busted the glass out of it moving some stuff and it's literally just sitting outside. Probably not even worth it and I'm gonna scrap it. Just thought if you were ever even close to here you could have it. Hopefully we'll get together one of these days and meet in person either way. Now that my shop is almost done hopefully I can get back to car stuff and start digging into my 66 c10 project! When that thing is on the road I'll be looking for excuses to road trip lol.

[@TheJohnnyef9]

Did you buy this door from that Freeman guy in Kansas?

[@crxseth]

No.

[@antonmealy168]

That would really make you want to replace the window frame of a civic hatch door if more available!

[@400hdfilms4]

good thing I live in Northern California doors over here like $50 a piece lol

[@crxseth]

California has 95% of the world’s golden era Hondas. Haha.

[@aycarambas]

Muy buenow

[@hank_green]

That really sucks, I hurt for you. No jokes this time. The edge folds 😖

[@tigris4149a2]

Rip new door. seen on fb. UPS smh

[@TKJracing-yf2rt]

What in your country??

[@MrHarleyreinke]

I will never understand why people don't ship big panels using freight pallets.

[@crxseth]

That would have been the way to go.

[@familyengineering5591]

Just get your money back. That seller needs to learn a lesson in proper packing

[@stmarysshooter331]

Watching these videos area a professional painter is horrific

[@crxseth]

Haha. Tell me how to improve. I’m always looking to get better.

[@johnmiksch3882]

The door seller is a total rat!

[@journeyquest1]

What you call damage, i call normal. I bought a perfect door off craigslist for $50 just so i could get the glass, since someone broke my window.. Then sold the door to someone for $30. lol Rich people just dont get it.

[@oldskool1979]

Bummer on the door ! Seller seems like a ripoff scammer !

[@crxseth]

Door was damaged during shipping.

[@oldskool1979]

@@crxseth ohhh

[@Rooki3_]

When this guy started the project, his hair was black.

[@crxseth]

Hahaha. It’s definitely taking longer than I thought. Working full time job and rebuilding a car has its challenges.

[@daddymulk]

Man that's so annoying, I've had so many retro ghetto blasters and other stuff damaged. I got 2 wings for my CRX shipped from ebayer in Germany, they arrived okay but it's always a risk
