Restoration Of An 80's Icon - Honda CR-X - Part 2

Well, here it is part 2 of my Honda CRX restoration. This time I'm getting my hands and workshop absolutely filthy by removing all of the mechanical items from the car as well as all the body work so that we can see exactly how many rust repairs lay ahead for us here on RRC. So I hope you will sit back, relax and enjoy this video.

Restoration Of An 80's Icon - Honda CR-X - Part 2

My first thought: "Man, let her go in peace...". But when he took off the side skirt, saw the rust clinging to the air there and said "it's not so bad " I knew I was dealing with a madman. "Let him cook" I thought. Keep it up man.

[@Tendo8002]

I have owned 2 CRX's in my life (V-tech) and man do they love to rust.. sadly this one is far from the worst I've seen.

[@shannons1886]

I can't imagine this one gets over the finish line.

[@AutoMotivate]

@@shannons1886 He has finished everything I have seen.

[@thomaspoeta6308]

Lol

[@tamiyafier]

I thought the basket case NC30 was beyond saving but oh boy you've outdone yourself this time. Cannot wait to see the end result!

[@2000jago]

The NC30 was nowhere near a basket case, WELL within the range of saving, but great restoration I agree.

[@RRCRestoration]

Thank you, glad your enjoying it so far :)

[@Shane-zx4ps]

Ordinary men would run a miles with this car’s condition, but not this brave and skilled man

[@colinobrien3806]

vfr was in great condition . he was very lucky with it .. v4 was in great nick

[@carramba86h77]

I had a Honda crx as a first car. It was my sisters, and she asked 750. A week before I turned 17 my sister asked for the money. A week later on my birthday I get a envelope from my sister and a cart. In the card she wrote: here is your 750 back, use it for your driver’s license. I come from a “poor” family (rich in love but not in terms of money) so that present was like giving a house or a Lamborghini. She started a tradition I honored by giving a car to my younger sister. I have nothing but fun memories thinking about that little car! I’ve never loved a car more than that car

[@thanatopsis001]

Any day with a new RRC episode is a good day!

[@RRCRestoration]

Enjoy :)

[@addeats]

Can't wait for the next episode!

[@jaakkokoskinen8198]

You, sir, are a braver man than I, taking on this job. I applaud you profusely as I continue to follow this from the comfort of my couch.

[@RRCRestoration]

Thank you so much, enjoy :)

[@rafaellastracom6411]

It´s official, RRC Restoration is a glutton for punishment. Godspeed Sir.

[@RRCRestoration]

haha yup I cant argue with that one.

[@danielprivate7442]

I'm stoked to see this classic brought back to it's former glory. The only other things I would do besides the manual swap: upgraded disk brakes up front, a disk brake swap in back and a little extra sound deadening than what came from the factory.

[@RRCRestoration]

sounds like you've taken a trip to the future and saw my plans first hand ;) ..... How does the CRX turn out in the end? haha. but yeah seriously I do plan on making a few nice upgrades like those just to make it a nicer car to drive in the modern era :)

[@brand-x7049]

@@RRCRestoration Fuel-injection upgrade, or sticking with the carbs?

[@Hawk7886]

​@@RRCRestorationjust got back from the future. You struggled quite a bit with the AWD swap but it was worth it in the end. It was the only way you could get all the power to the ground with the freshly built turbo K20 ;)

[@ba3037]

Watching anyone take a car apart can be very educational since everyone does it differently. Sir you are a true craftsman. I admire the way you think thru the process.

[@sooyster4033]

I would love to see a shop tour and approach-to-parts-organization episode!

[@RRCRestoration]

Thank you so much, im really glad you enjoy my work.

[@dukerider0319]

Great work as always, I’ve been a mechanic all my life and never get bored of “good” restorations no matter how many times I might have pull vehicles apart!

[@RRCRestoration]

Thank you so much :)

[@sloaneirwin4189]

Obviously you filmed yourself disassembling a brand new JDM Honda in the 1980s and then reassembled it to let it rot for 40 years for this youtube video.

[@jamiejohnston7183]

This channel is fantastic,someone give this man a lift and sponsorship,I watch loads of car content and there's loads of lads doing rubbish work but getting way more support than quality blokes like this

[@Sarin-Q]

The brake drum falling off got a chuckle out of me. Excited for the future of this little rustbox!

[@RRCRestoration]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it :)

[@teamEP789]

can't wait for the welding to begin!

[@RRCRestoration]

Almost at that stage ;)

[@Trickshot72]

Its astonishing how far youve come. Five minutes ago you painted a bike wheel. Orange, and put a lovely silver strip around the rim. I can remember how pleased you were with youtself. And rightly so. Now youre making a CRX out of a pile of dirt.

[@RRCRestoration]

Thank you, the channel certainly has came a long way as you say :)

[@jonf2009]

Official Honda dirt!

[@Getcell]

This channel is the best of restoration on KZbin! Can wait for the next episode. Congrats from Brazil 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

[@Fazer_600]

The effort for the restorations and then you're adding in all the camera angles of the work on top. Looking forward to seeing more of this!

[@jeremypearson6852]

As a former CRX (1988) owner, I’m dying to see how this restoration turns out. Based on your work so far, I’m expecting it to be epic. One of the most reliable cars I’ve ever owned. An expat in S Florida.

[@RRCRestoration]

Nice , Thanks for watching and leaving a comment :)

[@christianweller4288]

Looking at the state of this car and the level of corrosion, I commend your positivity. Best channel on YT.

[@RRCRestoration]

Thank you so much : )

[@PetermusPrime]

Between you and MyMechanics you're the only restoration channels even attempting a car restoration. Kudos and I'm sure it's going to be epic.

[@WanderingDad]

I've always loved and dived right into the mechanical and electrical work of my "restorations", but bodywork intimidates and frustrates me. I admire your patience and lack of thrown tools or profanity.

[@darcylandry4669]

As someone who worked as a mechanic in Nova Scotia, Canada for years, we have a very similar climate, I was cringing everything you used the gun on one of those rusted suspension bolts! 😀 I was shocked they all came out with ease! Can't wait to see the next episode.

[@LS-uv9gg]

Watching "Just Rolled In" it seems Spray Foam is the new Zip Ties and Duct Tape, over here in North America, lol. Hey, if you aren't already, I bet you would really enjoy the channel "my mechanics" and his Datsun 240Z restoration. Trust me on this one.

[@awaywayye]

One of my favourite cars... Fair play taking this one on! .. That rust though 👀

[@peterharkness3547]

I love that bit "ah, the good old wood screw". There's always one !!

[@pabsocs]

Looks at a hole where the cill used to be, and says “oh, it’s nay as bad as I thought” 🤣

[@RRCRestoration]

haha love it!

[@usernameEvanT]

I am not a Crx fun so my first thought was "nah, it doesnt worth it send it to scrap yard" but i thought it again and believed that every car needs some true love. This car is in bad condition and its gonna be one of the best restores. No one doubts that its in very good hands! 🙂🏁❤️🥇

[@Hawk7886]

Nah, even in this condition it would be a massive waste to scrap the car. They're pretty rare these days and damn valuable. You could part it out and make double your money back just by selling the parts and shell separately.

[@MotoArtJitsu]

Can’t wait to see this come together!

[@RRCRestoration]

Same, but I've got a lot of work to do before we see it going back together.

[@smavtmb2196]

You definitely got to that CRX just in time. Looking forward to seeing it come back to life.

Honda CRX is one of my long list dream car, that i probably would never drive. So it's super interesting for me personally. Thank you for what you are doing.

[@RRCRestoration]

Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching :)

[@jerryshepherd6528]

Never get bored watching your restorations, keep them coming please.

[@RRCRestoration]

Thank you, I'll do my best :)

[@captainwin6333]

Assembling all the tools and other gear needed for doing things like this must have been a job in itself. Great vid.

[@lougubrious9624]

Once again thank you for taking the time to keep this process, which as you mentioned many of us are deeply familiar with, much more interesting to watch. People don't think about the time it takes to set up a POV shot, or that cool transition with the CRC back panel. That stuff doesn't just happen when you're taking a car apart. It's that care and attention that makes your videos top shelf.

[@575ban]

You've got to love Japanese build quality when it come to fixings and fittings. Old nuts and bolts that look on deaths door still undo leaving good threads. Quality. Mind, there is a lot of CR - X to sweep up at some point 😂 Spotted the editing time line miss match. Wasn't really that hard 😁 actually, I may be mistaken... I'm quite excited about seeing this go back together too. Please paint it white 🙏🙏🙏

[@Hawk7886]

Eugh, man I hope he keeps it black. Doing a color change is a bad idea in general and white is the worst color for the CRX

[@scroggins100]

Just the best pocket rocket ever. Brought one for the wife back in the day and she ended up with nearly enough points to loose her licence. Great fun. Good luck.

[@Hawk7886]

She must've been reckless, these cars were fun but incredibly slow. In the early '00s they'd lose to a Prius from a stop and nearly everything from a roll. They were super popular with kids because they were cheap to mod. Great cars.

[@deanwaring6100]

Thanks for sharing your knowledge 👍🏻👍🏻

[@RadioReprised]

In 50 years of working on Hondas, I find the quality of bolts has always helped when stripping components...even though the sheetmetal is beyond ugly with rust.

[@garagegnomes]

Excited to see this progress. Im completely shocked at how well all the rear suspension bolts came out! Ive had them break on Honda's that were hardly rusty. That saved you a ton of time and headaches.

[@zzota]

Not boring at all! Every nut and bolts tells a story 😀

Renovace starších aut přináší hodně příjemných pohledů. Auto má svou duši, má v sobě hodně prožitého času, zdá se, že dřív se hodně pracovalo rukama a na autech je to znát, je to jiné auto, z jiných časů. Byla tam lepší energie, než je dnes.

15:35 I felt that. I'm restoring my 74 charger that I've had 20 years and every little trim piece costs $300 in good condition. $320 for the driver side electric window switch. I only payed $600 for the car!

When I split an inner cv joint, I put a latex glove over each end to stop the grease going everywhere and to keep dirt and grit out of the joint. Looking forward to the next episode.
