Ever think to use the panels from the white eg to fix the red eg? Red eg looks easy to fix and the parts you need to fix it look rust free on the white eg. I’d say try taking the parts off the white eg before you decide

[@williamr.6250]

I agree! I think the same, the red EG can be fixed by taking parts from the white one

[@xinx-fn8973]

The red one has been given a certificate of destruction, meaning it cannot be put back on the road

[@zerostarsafety1896]

There’s been heaps of comments like this it is a valid call but in my opinion would require just as much work as fixing the white one… and then like this guy said I would need to re register it which is a big process here in nz especially with bad damage like the red one had 👍

[@Stephen-cg3xo]

@@xinx-fn8973 ahhh my fault, we can get rebuilt titles here in America where I am. I have saved a few throughout the years.

[@randompep.491]

Keep the vids coming, love em mate. I reckon you should get another chassis because all that rust would be so much work.

[@zerostarsafety1896]

Yeah bro 100% agree unfortunately, I really appreciate the comment 💙

[@toastndcheese]

Clean chassis time and double check it for rust. It is getting real strict now on older cars and if any of the rust repairs are spotted at wof time you can and may be asked for a panel beater report and you do not want to go that route

[@zerostarsafety1896]

That’s a very good point bro! Unfortunately a lot easier said than done I can’t find one for the life of me at the moment 🥲

[@blanc0h.eg6]

Cut the front end off the white shell and weld it onto the red shell. Seems like the damage on the red car is just front the strut towers forward. In the states some people just tube front them also

[@zerostarsafety1896]

The frame rails on both sides is bent all the way to the firewall aye although I’d love to piece together both chassis to make one good one I think it’s a bit unrealistic considering the time it would take me!

[@josemanuelbenusic4333]

If I were you I would fix the red EG with the pieces from the white EG. The right quarter chassis and the front of the white one are in good condition and without much rust.

[@chu_her9390]

That's not an option, the red eg chasis cannot be registered due to the amount of damage. He could vin swap but in my opinion, it's alot more work.

[@zerostarsafety1896]

Yeah bro had heaps of comments like this… definitely possible but Tis a lot of work and time and probably just better off finding a better shell…

[@chu_her9390]

@zerostarsafety1896 I'm all for what's easier and better for you man, I know how the work is 😮‍💨

[@abdullahashfaque8995]

Could you not swap the vins from white to red and use the white chassis to fix the red 1. Will still be allot of fixing and a bit dodgy but could do the job

[@zerostarsafety1896]

Hahahaha not if I’m filming for KZbin unfortunately abaha

[@Jaxon_Lunae]

Both are toast. Strip them. Get another shell. You ll know what to look for in the next shell 😎

[@zerostarsafety1896]

100% agree bro think this is the plan 🧑‍🍳🧑‍🍳

[@bulsarab07]

Keep grinding bro. Try find a new chassis and keep on going. Love the content

[@zerostarsafety1896]

Thank you so much bro appreciate the comment 💙

[@SNPR7]

Love your work mate.

[@zerostarsafety1896]

Thank you bro! Hopefully I can restore her to its former glory and recreate what u built

[@Kapil-Patel]

Amazing progress bro 😎after seeing the white one, the red EG doesn't seem so bad 😅I suppose swapping the front quarter from the white eg onto the red one if out of the question? It's not so much a loss as it is a life lesson. You won't get burnt buying a roller ever again. Everything happens for a reason, stay up 💪🏽 Cannot wait for the next episode.

[@zerostarsafety1896]

Hahaha yeah bro it has actually crossed my mind chopping the white one from the firewall forward, but then again the red one is de reg so would be one hell of a process tryna get that back in the road lol… but very wise words bro I appreciate it as always 🙏🙏

[@bryansean6465]

You will need an auto to manual trans mount if you are reshelling it into a auto chassis. Or you could chop the MT mount bracket and weld it to the new car. I would cut my losses man and find a better shell. If you cant find a civic eg. Integra😊👍

[@zerostarsafety1896]

Good advice thanks bro 🙏

[@The_Dustin_B]

Bummer... You got taken on the white EG pretty badly. Where you not able to inspect the white EG in person prior to purchase?

[@zerostarsafety1896]

Nah I did inspect it but not properly… learnt my lesson there I guess 🤣

[@UZGAMINGZ]

my favourite automotive youtuber at the moment

[@zerostarsafety1896]

Hahahaha my guy thanks a lot 🙏🙏

[@harleyjerram9699]

I’m going through the exact same thing with my crx right now. I decided to do the rust repair because I won’t find another one for the price ($1500 for a complete car with reg on hold). I had to fab everything from scratch which took ages so the panel cuts will save you heaps of time but if you can find another shell cheap enough I’d do that

[@zerostarsafety1896]

Thanks for the comment bro, it’s awesome to hear someone going through the same thing all the best with your crx!

[@willies_workshop]

Love ya vids man. Reminds me of my time at Uni trying to afford to pay rent, buying and fixing old dungers to then sell XD. Should collab if I'm down in Wellies and ya need an extra hand.

[@zerostarsafety1896]

Cheers bro appreciate the comment! That would be so sick tho haha

[@aldian01aldi47]

Let him cook💪

[@zerostarsafety1896]

Hahaha appreciate the comment mbro

[@Sm-nx2nn]

Youre right. Unfortunately that white chassis needs a lot of work. Best to start with a better one. Unfortunately theyre probably all like that now. My EG2 CRX was like that too

[@zerostarsafety1896]

Yeah honestly have no clue why eg’s in general are so rusty compared to other civics 🤷

[@DenisonAcevedo]

Cut the white front end and swap it to the red and keep the red 💪🏼

[@zerostarsafety1896]

Ahahahah I don’t trust myself with that kinda job tbh 😹😹

[@FranciscoMartinez-jv9yz]

Fix the red one😘😘😘😘😘

[@zerostarsafety1896]

Definitely an option!

[@caisleannalochca1429]

Check behind side skirts if it gone there its usually fairly bad all over

[@zerostarsafety1896]

Yeah unfortunately the white eg was very much completely rotted behind the sideskirts 😵‍💫 time for new chassis

[@Bas_h1]

Beautiful content to watch 👀🤍

[@zerostarsafety1896]

Thank you bro 🙏🙏

[@mattsee45]

16:05 living up to the channel's name 🤣

[@PKDionysus]

I died. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@zerostarsafety1896]

Too funny bro 🤣

[@PKDionysus]

Lmao, I was just watching this Aussie dude, and was thinking about this car, waiting on this video.

[@zerostarsafety1896]

Hahaha cheers my bro 😁

[@kanjonate413]

I would take the glass windows and mirrors

[@SideQuestChannel]

I would go with a cleaner chassis, keep up the good work man.. I think I will get me a honda now lol

[@zerostarsafety1896]

Yeah I think so! Thanks for the comment bro everyone needs a civic in their life!

[@RisingBoostYT]

Bro, the white chassis is too far gone. I would cut the damage off the red car, replace it with the part from the white car, also transplant the bulkhead section with the vin from the white car, make the red car the "white car"

[@zerostarsafety1896]

That’s such a fair call but it’s a lot of work aye !

[@flubbs8548]

one of my big regrets was selling a 20th anniversary edition si eg hatch that got broken into and couldn't afford to fix. Looking at starting a a project soon and it would be a dream to get that same car back

[@finnjackson4083]

whats your thoughts on honda orthia?

[@zerostarsafety1896]

They’re sick bro!

[@Watz_lowkey]

What’s the site you brought it off?

[@CassieKnight1994]

Would be trademe bro it’s a nz online auction site

[@zerostarsafety1896]

Bought one off marketplace and the other off the salvage auctions

[@zerostarsafety1896]

Bought one off marketplace and the other off the salvage auctions

[@manuellopezej1]

You might not have space but try to keep as many spare parts you never know you might end up getting another shell

[@zerostarsafety1896]

Yeah this is the plan aye thanks bro 🙏

[@ayubahmad3313]

love the videos brev keep it up

[@zerostarsafety1896]

Cheers brev means a lot 🙏

[@chu_her9390]

Should either get a new eg chasis or part/sell both cars for 1 complete eg and do a similar build like the ef.

[@zerostarsafety1896]

Yeah bro great point thanks for the comment

[@chu_her9390]

@zerostarsafety1896 No problem, seeing the amount of rust, I would just go along with one of those options. Good luck in your search!

[@macreemain7771]

Im not sure if you would be interested, but I have an eg in the united states and I badly need a passenger side quarter panel(driver side for you) and if you have one still in decent shape I would be interested in buying it and paying for shipping as well. I need it from the B pillar all the way to the rear. Love watching these kinds of videos ill be staying up to date for sure.

[@zerostarsafety1896]

Sorry bro if u were in nz I would but that’s too much to ship for me I think sorry lad

[@bernardszybszy603]

Still very underrated

[@zerostarsafety1896]

Thank you bro means the world

[@seaniboi7503]

yeah i recon clean chassis is the move

[@zerostarsafety1896]

Yeah bro let’s pray I can find one 🙏🙏

[@jaybradley3765]

The red eg is a lot cleaner, i would fix the red eg

[@zerostarsafety1896]

Fair call but I can’t re register the red eg on the road again without going through some hard scrutineering!

[@TheCarnager]

That's a bummer on the white shell. It is such a shame the red body got wrecked so bad too. Cut the front off the white one. It's already halfway loose and weld it to the red one swap the vins.

[@zerostarsafety1896]

Yeah bro it’s a shame aye

[@juancruz8626]

Get a new chassie that was way too far.Gone and keep up the good work.Love your videos from stafford virginia United states

[@zerostarsafety1896]

Yeah I think so! Thanks so much for support and the comment!

[@kennyman338]

Scrap both cars and whatever money 💰 you get from it and maybe sell some of the good parts. To find a clean shell.

[@zerostarsafety1896]

Yeah I think this has to be the go

[@erikfreeman4620]

Yeah that white eg is more work and time. It will be easier to get another eg

[@zerostarsafety1896]

100% agree cheers bro!

[@Watz_lowkey]

How long have you been working on cars for? Are you a qualified mechanic

[@zerostarsafety1896]

By no means a qualified mechanic literally just self taught off watching so many KZbin videos haha, I first wrenched on a car 4 years ago !

[@Watz_lowkey]

@@zerostarsafety1896nice stuff bro keep up to work

[@stuartarneaud218]

Time for a newer body dude but good vibes

[@zerostarsafety1896]

Thanks bro appreciate it 🙏🙏

[@manuellopezej1]

Maybe look for a coupe or sedan shell

[@zerostarsafety1896]

Good point bro I do love my hatches tho 🤠

[@Variablevalve]

Going to have to pay 1500$ on rust repairs easy may aswell start new with a clean body saves future dramas

[@zerostarsafety1896]

Yeah 100% bro technically it would cost me nothing as I have all the parts and would do it myself but it would definitely take a looong time!

[@veightholden7585]

White one unfortunately looks like a learning experience mate Now you know Unfortunately it's a big cost for the knowledge but hey

[@zerostarsafety1896]

Exactly aye what can you do? live and learn !

[@TKRTSRTEEJAY1293]

that white she'llis gone😢

[@zerostarsafety1896]

Yeah I think so too unfortunately 🥲

[@melvingualdarrama8874]

Hey man take the Is frame real from the White eg and swap it to the red one that is your best bet man

[@zerostarsafety1896]

Definitely possible but again that is heaps of work probably best to just get a whole new shell!

[@cloutcheese]

wouldnt be impossible to fix but not really worth it

[@jontydavies556]

this

[@zerostarsafety1896]

Yeah my thinking exactly 🥲

[@thedinkmaster85]

Maybe you can sell the rhd clip

[@zerostarsafety1896]

Good point 👍

[@dusterpl6093]

why 720p :((((((((((

[@zerostarsafety1896]

Hahaha sorry bro it’s all I got atm 🥲

[@EJayNine]

Yikes. Personally I'd part them both out to get as close to your money back as possible and then move on. Lesson learned, don't buy 90s Honda's sight unseen.

[@zerostarsafety1896]

Hhaha wise words bro 100% agree thanks for the input 🙏

[@le7456]

Well atlest you can buy a deregd one now.

[@zerostarsafety1896]

🚗

[@ddhmc8908]

Not liking the situation you are in.T he white car is useless and the red car has serious frame damage. People who think the red car is an easy fix don't know what they are looking at. Get a clean parts car and put a front clip on the red one.Still not worth it.

[@zerostarsafety1896]

Yeah bro that’s why I bought a whole new one

[@ddhmc8908]

@@zerostarsafety1896 Good call.G ood luck with your project.
