I love it when kids can't afford to fix the simple things and sell their cars for cheap. I found a clean 2000 Integra LS, the interior was immaculate and everything was still OEM, no mods. Body had some rust spots and the car needed a new alternator to run. $500 later, the car looks like new and it runs strong!
Hi Sonny, Yeah majority of people can not work on there own cars, so if they can't afford to have it fixed they sell. $500 is a very good price. This civic was sitting for 5 years because the crank pulley came loose.
Hi Bro, you should! your civic looks like it was not abused or extremely modified before, perfect for a build! also don't be scared to boost the D16, they can handle about 160wkw in mostly stock form. or just swop it if that's cheap in NZ. I went with the boosted D15 because B or K swop is very expensive in RSA. but a Bswop is coming.
Haha. Thanks bro. Yes my video is definitely not a how to guide as I myself knew very little about what I was doing. Even mixing paint by just eyeballing it.
Hi Bro, thanks for the sub! yes I was very lucky with this car, was neglected for very long but it did not take too much work to get it looking very clean again. also has fairly low miles. the price I paid was "a good price" but it was not exactly cheap.
You do reliase where that from tbumper was soft and moving is because they did a mould delete and just bogged the big holes up where the bumper moulding was
Hi Bro, Yes, on the corner section there is about 1cm of bog to fill the hole. in total there was about 4 places with cracks. I did not show it (because I made a mess working with bog for the first time), but I did chip out and refill those sections, sanded it down and layed down heavy primer to fill small bubbles in my bog work. it's been about a year now since the fix and it is still holding up. It will probably crack again but I do plan to replace/modify the bumper soon.
learnt about clay barring in this thing... I know you guys are gonna shit on me for this, but I'm currently restoring my own civic, after a bad spray job paint just cracked all over the car and so I've started flattening it and I'm spraying it piece by piece with grey primer from the can, I really liked how my fender came out and I had to replace my bonnet, so I decided I'm going to spray my entire car with matt grey primer and then just go right over that with matt clear
Hi bro, I won't recommend using spray cans, its actually way more expensive than buying a used compressor and a cheap spray gun. Cans will give good results now, but won't last a long time. You can always sell the compressor again when you done. You can buy matt grey paint and get the same results for possibly cheaper and if you make a mistake you can sand it and try again, cans get expensive because of the poor coverage.
Hi Suliman, great, a daily and a toy. I'm based in the east rand. sadly I can't work on other peoples cars, just going it as a hobby on the weekends. but I can assist if you need info or trying to source parts.
Hi bro, it is a "Clay Bar". it removes surface contamination from the paint. because this car was sitting for 5 years the paint felt very rough, almost like sandpaper even after washing it. after using the claybar the paint feels very smooth. However you must polish the paint afterwards. the claybar can cause some light scratches.
Hi Storm, this depends greatly on what country you are from. I can speak for South Africa, here it is expensive because B series cars are not that common from factory here. a B-series gearbox costs around R5500, Shafts R1500, starter R1000, T-bracket and shifter links R800, a B-series bottom end R3000 to R5000, a good vtec head starts at R6000. labour to fit can easy reach R10 000+. then small things like CVs, clutch, vtec oil feed kit and other small things will quickly reach R3000. also, you will need the wiring loom and ECU or management. I estimate the cost to be around R30000 to R38000 including labour. of course if you can fit the swop yourself and have time to search for bargain parts you can save a lot of money. possibly under R20k. I know this because I recently started buying the parts I need to do the B18 LS vtec swop. in my opinion, sell your car and buy a Bseries car.
Hi Bro, yes it looks to be holding up fine. not the right way to do it, but it was my first time working with body filler and I did make a big mess. so 10 layers of primer got it done.
@@RisingBoostYT really thinking about painting my own bumper, but idk if I'll match my own paint well and idk how to fix a crack on the edge, doesn't seem bondo can do it
Hello bro, great job, I watched your video. I have also an Ek hatch on a project right now, I saw your rims what is the size and what kind of as an rims you have? Thanks
New sub here bro love the build and the diy aspect. I have a question in regards to the clay bar. Did it take just 1 bar to do the entire car? And did u do the whole car in one go or more than one day? The solution u spray is it just water and soap or a special solution
Hi. Thanks for watching, in my case yes it did only take one clay bar to do the whole car. The type of contamination on the paint from standing for 5 years almost got desolved by the clay. That why the liquid around it went brown. For the most part it did not get stuck in the clay to much. But 1 clay bar should be enough for a car. Even possible to use it more then once if your paint is not bad. Also yes the clay bar process only took a few hours. Easy to do in 1 day. The clay bar kit normally comes with instant detailer to use as lubricant, but you can use very soapy water. It's just to prevent the clay from sticking to the paint. If your cars paint does not feel smooth to the touch after washing it, it could help to claybar it.
Hi Ryan. I'm not sure if it is frost white. The car looks like it was repainted at some stage so I took my petrol cap flap off and took it to a automotive paint shop and they mixed me some white paint to match. It is a very close match and it was fairly cheap. I got 2L if I remember correctly. I would recommend letting a shop mix it for you over buying paint based on a name as many things like primer colour could affect the final outcome.
Hi Bro, I was not able to do anything about it, reason being that i'm not sure why it does not fit correctly. at first I was thinking it may be because it is a aftermarket light, however the other side fits perfect. my worry now is that there may be some old "bodywork" in this area, so I am first going to look on the inside of that section of body panel by removing the interior plastics so I can see that area. if there is no bodywork I will use a dremel tool to oval out the lights mounting holes, this will give me some adjustment, I will also use a few washer to space the light outwards as myne sits to deep in and touches the body. hope this helps you bro.
Hi Bro, I got the car already boosted so I do not know the exact cost, but I can make a list with estimates for you. You can buy a full turbo kit for around R6500, the problem is shipping will also be about R6000 to R7000 Dictator ECU - second hand from R2000 ECU Install - R1000 / Tune R1200 Injectors are expensive but you can get bigger OEM second-hand from a scrapyard for about R2000 You can also try to piece together all the parts you need and it may be cheaper than the kit + shipping. Bigger fuel pump R2000 (optional if you make moderate power) My estimate is R14 000 to R20 000 for everything, but the labour cost could make it much more.
Hi Bro. Definitely a mod that is on the list! however it is the only thing I don't think I can do myself. will probably have it done by a professional. but yes at the moment it does feel a bit like I am driving a fish bowl.
Hi bro, I paid 40 000 ZAR ($3200 at the time) for the car as it was at the beginning of the video. with the turbo setup as in my second video. that is a bit high but in South Africa civic are a bit more expensive as they not as common as the EK sedans. also we don't have EF / EG hatches.
Hi Bro. Thanks for the sub and the support. I'm from South Africa, lucky we got JDM models of the cars from factory. stuff like the slim side beadings, taillights, no passenger side airbag in the dash and they all have disk brakes in the rear. just a few differences I know about compared to the USDM models.
@@RisingBoostYT so I was wondering.... There is this Honda civic being sold for R10000... And it's motor is broken... Do u think it is worth buying and fixing?
@@itsmekadafi2664 I have actually done this with an EG 4 Door, for me it was worth it because I could do the work myself so that saved me a lot of money, I paid R6000 for the car and spent about R10000 to get it running by getting a second-hand engine and rebuilding it myself. if you can not rebuild it yourself it will cost 18k to 25k to have a shop fit a motor for you. referring to a D-series build now. also, consider the condition of the body and the paperwork before buying something like that.
Hi Johnny. Thanks for watching. Not sure who Shingo is, but currently it is not his car. Before I got the car it was sitting in Kempton Park for about 5 years. The last license disc when I got it was early 2014. So I assume it was not running since that time. Also the previous owners name was not Shingo. But other than that I don't know.
Hi Bro. Guess its just personal preference, in my opinion it looks more modern without the beadings. The newspec bumper is not a straight fit onto an old spec. Hood, lights, grill, fenders and cradle is all different. So you need to swop everything and modify the cradle to make a newspec fit.
Revival on a budget. You didn't mention what you purchased and used. The pricing of anything. Honestly title your vids differently or take your time when making them
Hi, sorry for the lack of pricing, however I am from South Africa so the pricing will be drastically different from the USA. but I will convert prices for you.

Hi neetrab. So far it is holding up very well. The bumper painting video was filmed over a year ago by now and still looks as good as new. However I do not drive the car every day. So that may help.

Great job, tell me what does the blue soap do

That is not a soap
