- The Honda City Turbo II is about to go to a shop for some rust repairs but before that, we need to get some info for the shop to see what's needed. I knew it would be bad but let's see in detail.

Derek being 2000s coool with the cool turbo 2 shots
I absolutely appreciate that you have to run a business but this is fun. You should definitely try to keep videos of projects and other things coming. The reviews are great but I don’t see any reason why you guys couldn’t be TH-camrs too.
Thumbs up for the BMW hat 😂!
I for sure would buy Save The City merch and other JDM cars oriented stuff xD
Part 2?
I'd consider finding another one and using this one for parts. I know of a guy in Japan who maybe can find you one at auction or something. ;)
🤣
Love seeing the city turbo 2 updates. I've been following this since the day Derek purchased it at auction and posted the video. Hopefully you will spend the money to get it restored and back on the road! There has to be a reputable repair shop near you. Good part is you have it loaded up and ready to transport to the body shop. Knowing you, this could be a video from last year and its already fixed and ready for a mountain road drive. That's the video that I'm waiting for! Positive thoughts headed your way from a very loyal fan in the states. Thanks Derek!
Haha. I shot this about a month ago. We are still talking with shops to negotiate. We want a shop that will let us post videos of the progress on TH-cam.
@@PacificCoastAuto Yohi runs a garge in Sukagawa Fukushima, I believe called 'Garage Find' - he's the Yoda of Honda City's in Japan & posts daily on Facebook of ones he works on. Not sure about rust/bodywork, but everything else, he's the Man.
Hi Derek, the car transporter also requires some attention with regards to the rust on its platform, I think it would benefit from some rust proofing spray paint.
Noticed how you've gotten more comfortable vlogging yourself with the camera! great video man really enjoyed it
Hopefully there is still traction in this project. Keep it going, PCA!
There's a big development this week actually. I'm super glad but it's weird.
I had similar rust on my 1978 Subaru Leone coupe. The sills are fairly simple in that car, so any competent body shop can use a metal brake to recreate the primary shape and do the whole inner and outer sill at once. If you're going for a full respray, it wont be too hard to do, with the interior out already. (avoids fires) :D I have a Cappuccino in the "long term project" parking here where the floor is no longer connected to the sills AT ALL! I did need a spares care cut for those bits, because well, there was not enough metal left to determine WHAT was missing. :P
I ❤️ rust
It isn't bad. You just never seen a properly rusted Lada. :)
For some reason I have not been seeing your videos for months
Sometimes I got a month without uploading simply because we are busy. Then the videos pile up and I post a bunch all at once.
I was waiting in anticipation for the City’s progress, but I would love for you guys to do a Honda build cough cough ep3 Civic Type R! 👍👍😉😉😉 But as much as I find this City and waiting for the restoration, I personally think it’s time to cut losses on this little gem unfortunately 👍👍😢😢😢
Its just a little rust, everything on that car is repairable
The bane of all early hondas.. floorpan rust.
The CVCC system was a nightmare to tune
I got the same predicament... 👨🏼🔧
City Action underneath. Regarding the rust it`s still worth saving it👍
Hope you get it sorted 👍 looks like a lot of work but I can imagine fully restored it would be worth a decent amount but it's not going to be cheap to restore . Good luck though
its mint bud; send it
Please try to save it, soon there won't be any more of them ♥️
12:25 thats not torsion bar.. i forgot its name...his is as an control arm (somewhat keeping the caster)
06:54 This shot's for all the ladiezzzzz!
In the bin!
What did you expect? Didn't I tell you this like 2 months ago?
Are those R1Rs on your yellow van-pickup-thing?
01:55 Can that lady come to my neighborhood and give a bunch of my neighbors the same dirty looks?
What've you put under the City?
And... being under an unsecured hydraulic lifting appliance... too risky.
5:57 song name?
City Boi for life!!! What happened to those monster truck tires on the bb? Looks a million times better.
The large truck tries were done for a video (that's in line for editing now). They rubbed a lot and made the car slow so we removed them and the lift after a while.
Looks like a 12 year old Canadian vehicle.....As an aside I've often wondered what the neighbours think about your car lot. Has anyone ever come out and chatted with you?
We have been looking for a new lot/office for a few years. We try to be nice to the neighbours but our regular business is annoying to them.
Wie teuer war der City und wie schwer ist es einen zu finde? Ich komme aus Deutschland und hier ist keiner zu bekommen
that thing might have to be relegated to just being a parts car. 😥 i feel like it'd be cheaper to just find a better City than to try and repair the rusted bits on this one.
Are these valuable cars? Because big money to fix this the right way.
At the moment, a clean body City retail for about $23,000 USD in the states and about 2,000,000 yen in Japan.
I bought this one for 350,000 yen a few years ago. I suspect it'll be quite expensive. Not sure if it's "worth it" but I would be saving a car from the scrap heap.
Parts car...
It's gonna run you close to 3 grand to get that amount of rust repaired, and that's low balling it, I'm not an expert on the matter but that's what I've had to pay in the past, now you have to question if this car is really worth saving.
If it's $3000, I'll be happy. I suspect it will be a good amount more than that.
I'm going to say that rust is terminal. Just too Wasabi. Trust me, I'm in Atlantic Canada...I *know* rust! Those sills might not look it, but they are an integral part of the car structure (unibody). Stop dumping money into that one and buy another...just try to inspect it before you buy it.
oh you guys are still alive? I thought you went bankrupted like...years ago.
It's funny how that works. We have had increasing sales every year. We have already achieved our highest sales ever this year with another two months to go.
@@PacificCoastAuto That's a good think to know. So when will you come back to a live youtube?
@@PacificCoastAuto Awesome to hear. Love the way you walk through cars for us to see and videos like these. Still an active watcher throughout the years.
I made a tamiya honda city in 80s...nice 2 see one still around..
still wearing masks so 2020
You will see more masks. In Japan 99.9% of the population are wearing mask. I've lived here long enough to not want to look like the idiot foreigner (if I can help it).
@@PacificCoastAuto dang so you're not vaccinated yet?
