How I flipped this $1000 car for even MORE money! - RSX Driveway Paintjob

[@BeforeTheStorm]

I fixed most of the codes and engine issues... The reason why it would not go over 3k was because the connector that went into the vtec solenoid kept popping out. Just gotta replace the intake manifold and the car is solid.

[@BeforeTheStorm]

the 02 sensor codes came back on but its because the power steering rack was leaking into the connector.

[@korosumyself]

🤯 the vtec solenoid makes alot more sense hahah. follow this guy right here on tiktok yall for the continuation of this car! didnt know you were on youtube as well!

@@RosefMudson1414 statistically if he keeps doing this, there is a 100% chance he will encounter cloudy headlights in the future.

I've been told by more than one veteran used car salesman that you can easily get an extra $1k just for having clear headlights.

[@InstantClanGaming]

@@desktorpwell that depends on the car . Can make a 9k car worth 10k , but not make a 1k car worth 2k

[@RickyWilder]

@@fadedchicken I’d recommend starting with something service based first and avoid most of the get rich quick BS that’s all over the internet. Monetize skills you already have and/or choose a simple idea like window cleaning, pressure washing, landscaping, junk removal, or really anything “mobile” you can do to make people’s lives a little easier. Remember that it doesn’t have to be forever and if you already like cars, there are lots of ways to make money in the car industry alone. Detailing, vinyl installation, painting, mobile repair, bodywork, restoring/selling junkyard parts, car flipping (if done right). Be smart, ethical, and do the work that needs doing.

Back in the 90's. I was doing the same thing during college, but I took the autobody shop every semester to be able to use the paint booth. I then started a mobile mechanic and worked on people's cars. Great hustling and awesome video. Keep on grinding. I know it takes a lot of time and dedication.

[@zkeet.3rz]

Bro saved an rsx, ima keep saying this, i love ur videos man, keep up the work‼️‼️

[@Grosserr]

I truly love watching videos like this one and believe it could evolve into a great series, similar to the format of 'Buddy's DIY' channel. One suggestion I have is to delve deeper into explaining the process of fixing or diagnosing problems. Many videos assume viewers already possess a certain level of knowledge, but I find it incredibly helpful when every step is thoroughly explained. As someone who isn't as mechanically inclined as I'd like to be, I appreciate the opportunity to learn as much as possible from someone more knowledgeable. Regardless, fantastic video! Keep up the great work!!! :)

[@korosumyself]

for sure ill try it out on the next paintjob i do! thanks for the comment!

[@JOATJESSE]

@ 6:12 you get a close-up of the harmonic balancer aka crank pulley. It looks broken or else an optical illusion because of grease and/or oil. If it's chipped then it won't have even dampening and this will lead to premature failure of main bearings and likely cause premature leaks for your front and rear main seals. It may be worth looking into ​@BeforeTheStorm

[@BeforeTheStorm]

@@JOATJESSE crank pulley seal is leaking and the rear main seal was replaced already. I need to reseal the timing cover and tensioner cover too. This is going to be a great project

FYI, good tip is on the first coat don't go for full coverage, go for evenly sloppy and it's the perfect base for 2nd,3rd, and 4th to be done the same way it will naturally even out the more layers u add giving you a perfect solid paint job in the end

[@186scott]

Something I was taught is if your swapping an engine with a junkyard unit of the same engine type, transfer your sensors onto the junkyard engine as you you know those sensor are good and working and if you know you have a bad sensor on the old engine by a replacement as 9/10 times it is good (even brand new parts can be faulty) or if the sensor is easy to get to risk it use the junkyard engines sensor

This is why the world is polluted. All this dust and liquid going right onto everyone, in gardens and in the water

From people painting their cars in their driveways? There's a lot of evidence to suggest the world is polluted because of large scale industrial operations, not because of DIYers.

[@TheThechrisman]

great job, I love painting my cars in the driveway, Usually wiping over spray off my other cars lol. You did great i love it.

[@WriterandPhotographer]

Nice job......the profit made it worthwhile. Good job attending to the mechanical issues first. Before we had ODB2 readers, we had to do some detective work, although we didn't have all the modules and sensors either. I was just outside today working on a bumper cover on a work stand. Of course, with plastic, you have to use a flexible glazing putty to make certain there aren't future cracks. I think that in our case, since you have a car port, I would probably find some heavier plastic sheeting and create a makeshift paint booth. It would at least keep some trash out of your paint job. Also, I think I would buy some new hinges and/or latch for the hood instead of the hood latches. The rest of the car looks great and it sounds like you have it running good. Very resourceful project.

[@dude28405]

I've always thought about building an enclosure out of construction plastic and 2 by 4s I could take down when I was done

Wet sand those head light with 600 until the yell clears up to clear. Then dry them and clear coat them ,don't rush it ,just like you painted the car dust the first coat and then two good coats . Perfect

Pretty cool. I’ve done the same thing with much more minor body work. I’m in Vancouver, Canada and there are rarely deals like that. I just got a 1991 GMC Jimmy yesterday that I’m going to do the same. Get engine to stop stalling and paint it. $500 was just a once in 10 year deal in my area

[@dnlmachine4287]

You did a dam good job there for a first timer. Learning by doing, and paint is one of those things - we have to do it to learn it.

this video was actually really helpful for me and my rsx i just got. lots of good tips to look back on

[@arod84]

Pretty solid work for a driveway budget job. NGL, I was a little 😬 at first, but other than the bondo thing, and getting a little better setup, definitely did a great job. You could grab some tarps or heavy plastic sheeting and a couple box fans with filters and rig up a booth in your carport for not too much effort or cost. I found a decent paint-less dent removal tool kit is really handy and cheap way to take care of normal dents and dings for the most part, and a skim coat of Rage Gold or 3M body filler finishes it nicely, mix in a little Plastik Honey by Evercoat to enhance cheaper quality body fillers or to flow it smoother. Name brand Bondo is too brittle and stiff for my preference. Cool video 🤙

[@korosumyself]

yeah after this project im not much of a fan of bondo myself. will def try my hand at metal work first then using less filler if i can
