FULL BUILD - REBUILDING A JUNKYARD NSX

[@AhhSamboi]

I remember when I was like 16 years old (circa 2004ish) I tried to convince my mom to get a pristine NSX that the dealer had for $32000 she got an 01 Malibu instead. Showed my mom how much it's worth now and she almost fainted😂😂

[@v.witlox560]

Did the same with 944s and MR2s about 8 years ago because I was too young, wish she did because they doubled in value where I live.

[@Thermo-kun]

@@v.witlox560944 is not too bad, still some jacked up ones you could get, but i completely get it. 944 prestine are now going up and i need to get it before a broken one is 30k

[@tylerwilliams1532]

I had a chance to get a 1991 back in 2014/15 when I was a technician @ Lexus of Greenville SC....the original owner traded it in on a brand new Lexus LFA....45k miles all service records all original paperwork including window sticker...and they were gonna let me get it for 5% over trade in value via employee pricing...it makes me sick to think about it...

I both love and dislike this build. It looks brilliant, but with honda on red i should be shared with white (old Japanese saying apparently) I love how the rear turned out, and I really didn't expect that.

As someone who spent their Teens/Early 20's in the 1990's it is always good to see cars from that era brought back to their best... You Outdid yourselves with this one I think.

[@horgb7808]

If you're going to RE-SHOW the complete rebuild in video, you're editor needs to make them more enticing. Less talk and more of the build, and I'm not ashamed to say it, but more like everyone's favorite British rebuilder Matt Armstrong.

There’s something about seeing a table filled up with brand new parts that just gets me going. Amen that part. That’s when the build is hitting its stride.

[@rynemoralez3244]

Everything about this build is satisfying especially that front bumper replacement

[@lukesmith8547]

That green with a brass metal flake in it and gold wheels and trim would look sweet

[@Battleborn357]

Even though I've never owned one, the gen 1 NSX is by far one of my favorite vehicles. The value and look of them still can seem like a car made in today's market, even though they were made over 30 years ago. I still hope to own one some day.

Great job on the work and bringing us through the process of cleaning and rebuilding this master piece.

[@richpolecat6527]

Bouncing an engine off the limiter that's been standing almost a decade is always a good idea.

[@ChrisF-fx5du]

Gotta see if it holds up If it's gonna go it's gonna go right away

[@richpolecat6527]

@@ChrisF-fx5du you do know that engine oil degrades and breaks down after 6 months? Also if that stretched cambelt had broken it would have been a catastrophic failure. There's absolutely no need to run an engine in a performance car that has stood a long time until an oil change at least has been done, and intakes checked for rodents/nests ect. This guy got lucky, but In many cases engine damage such as big end bearings is the result.

[@jomontanya7114]

I haven't watched your videos in a while and this got recommended. I was at 11:11 in the video when you mentioned clearing out the car for a friend, so I thought "hmm I wonder what happened to Calvin and if they still hang out." I paused the video went and did some research, found out he's definitely still around so I came back and hit play. He shows up 10 seconds later...

[@kengrayfield]

Man what a crime to leave a legend of a car like that rotting in the sun! So glad that you brought it back to its glory!

[@christianslense455]

Well for someone who hasn't ever watched your channel. You got a sub from me for this NSX build. This model and the new NSX didn't get the credit it deserved when each came out. As they both age their place in the car world is getting up there. Thank you for posting the full build. But not knowing if the alignment worked after it's crash damage and not addressing that kind of made it seem as if you gave up on the car or you would have painted it. Because in no way shape or form is that worth 90k without paint and a steering rack and other stuff that wasn't shown on this video. The bumper and hood and fenders never lined up in your final shots. The rear window scoop was so Temu. Half the tail light was out on one video never saw it fixed. No shots of the final car driving or running. It all just ended like a let's call it good situation.

[@MrMandelll]

Not to mention the oil burn. It smoked worse than my old 2-stroke 250 Husqvarna. The engine should have been pulled apart into molecules.

Heck yeah $30k is CHEAP to the right buyer, just like $100k to the right buyer.... but even if you throw 30k at it and sell it for more than $60 it's all profit. I think yellow would be a great color and crinkle red valve covers 😂 but that skyline color is sick 👍👍
