- Watch me try to restore this ultra rusty, former autocross hack! In (mostly) glorious stop-motion animation. [DISLIKE COUNT: 9]
It's not the most sensible thing to do, but I always do weld up a rusty car and when I saw this absolute s*box dissolving in my friend's garden, I wanted to give it a go. I hope you'll be as much entertained as I suffered through this :)
I don't plan to make this my job, but in case you really like my work and wanna send a dollar my way to help pay for mig wire and cutting wheels, I will be very grateful!

What would you estimate the now finished value at?
What kind of welding is that? I mean the technique mig tig/ STICK?
How much would you estimate all the welding on the car cost?
How much did it took you?
Also is the grey t hing you are using putty? Like bondo?
now after all this and a google search, DAMN IS SHE NOT GOOD LOOKING
I WANT ONE TOO
Hey, good questions!
With value it's a bit tricky because I live in remote country. Really nice and clean CRX recently sold for 10k USD here. But I don't think anyone would buy this one even if I wanted to sell. Maybe 3k USD if I was lucky and they don't see this video.
Overall I'm projecting the build cost to be around ~4k USD for everything except my time. And I'll probably spend aroudn 1.5 years working on it semi-fulltime. As I said, not sensible.
Welding process is FCAW, basically hybrid of MIG and stick. I use it because I work outside in the wind, so can't use shielding gas. Normally MIG would be preferred.
Grey stuff is a zinc weld-through primner, basically heat resistant paint with powder zinc in it. It's good for using between welded parts to prevent further rust. Regular paint can be also used, but it burns off easily.
If you live on the mainland, the CRX are still pretty common, I belive you can get a pretty good ones for couple of grand still!
@@sidney9534 I live in europe, there is one for sale for 3300-3400 with shipping to where I am, blue, very nice color with little rust, in the photos I didn't see any but I don't think it is possible to not have sny
@@cosmin552 If you end up getting one, they all rust under the bonnet hinges, under the trim on the hatch and under door hinges. Drop some oil on the problem spots to stop it rusting, every 6 months. Actually if you're not garaging it, it's worth stripping the car a little bit and spraying an oily rust inhibitor in all cavities (CRC Marine heavy Duty, Fluid Film). That will give it a pretty good fighting chance. Or garage it and only drive when sunny :)
@@sidney9534 Thank you, what do you mean by under the door hinges? Like on the frame between the door and the body?
@@cosmin552 exactly, every car I've ever seen has at least some rust in there.
Not a big fan of the 1G however you've put a ton of attention to detail in this thing and it turns out real decent. Nice work.
I thing the second gen objectively IS better, but not by that much. 1g looks archaic, but it's quite nimble too and no slouch. And thanks! I sure took a big bite, let's see if I can chew it too!
@@sidney9534 that archaic look is the beauty truly. Both of em have the flat booty, so we're all winners lol
I cannot believe you did stop motion for this hahaha as someone who is both an amateur filmmaker and a gear head, I can't imagine how much time this added to the overall project. In the end, it was worth it; you ended up with an awesome ride, and unique content to share with us and remember the project by. Well done sir.
I was literally about to say the same thing. I have never seen someone make a stop motion video of a car restoration. The restoration alone is time consuming and to add this.... RESPECT.
Super Awesome!! Loved all the effort you put into the car and the video
Thank you so much, glad you enjoyed it!
i was so sad about the crx until i realized the dr was a cat
That was probably the best video I’ve ever watched. Love it, so excited to see the progress.
Thank you so much, will try not to disappoint and pull this through to the end.
That is/was a monumental undertaking! The car, of course, but also the video production. Impressive
I'm honored, thank you so much! I take it it's "wasabi" enough then? :D
You combined two of my favourite things... Kitty’s and Honda CRX
Really enjoyed watching this. Credit your fabrication/video skills.
Thank you mr.!
your welding and editing skills are absoutly amazing! its cool seeing panels move by thereselves! i notice you hve a prelude si driver seat where did u get that i saw q 1988 black prelude in the background awsome
Aww thank you! Yes, it's from a Prelude, good eye. I didn't put that it, leegedly they only fit if you swap the rails. The seat is better than CRX, but it looks like grandma's old recliner. So I won't probably keep it.
Thinking of seats from a different car, but main problem is they have to be super low to the floor. 99% of modern seats are too high.
Second gen CRX seats fit with rails replaced, but are so rare here it's no point even looking.
That is amazing. I can’t believe my eyes
Haha, thank you, yeah, sometimes me either
wow
Great fab work...wow...subscribed. I've got an '89 Si with tons of rust, and this is an inspiration. If you can share some CRx-specific tips and tricks that would be awesome!
Thank you, glad you enjoy it! The CRX is pretty conventional car, so there's not much specifics. Maybe the sill and A-pillar reinforcement later in the series?
Don’t let the weld job distract you from the ad hom attack on Dr cat.
As someone who sold my rusted out 87 Si to a guy who needed spares for his restoration, godspeed you mad lad
Thank you, may your SI rot in peace :)
The stop-motion is the reason this took 10 years, lol. Well done though.
Actually it's not that bad because I'm a lazy worker. But when camera is rolling, it made me stick with it and not slack so much.
You're a legend! Great work and hope to see many more of these restoration projects on your channel
I love how you show your fabrication process at 6:50 , subbed want to see more :D
Ty! Yes, making up the arches was neat, learned it from Trevs blog I think.
This is stressing me out about all the work my crx needs 😅
Yeah these rustboxes don't make life easy. Bring it here, we'll crush them together ;)
I may sound like an ass but dislike folks who let they’re cars like this act like they gonna get it running but never do and procrastinate but that’s me well to be fair I’m an ass and I’m not afraid to be an ass and I like doing car projects like this and love your content - I’m sorry but not sorry for those who are butt hurt about what I said lol
Sometimes not finishing is a rational choice, but I know what you mean ;)
Wow amazing work. I’ll be going through the same process with my 95 hatchback. Subscribed!
Thank you m8, I'll be following your b18 adventures!
Good on ya. Particularly enjoyed the "dumb, don't do this" roof peel :oD
I'll be watching out for the next update.
Haha, thanks! yeah, partially unstitching is much better way even though it looks scary. Part 2 is out already (You probably seen it, but just in case)
Bro ive se seen the full videos like 10 times love your work i Just got a crx my self but has a lot of rust .wanna come to dominican repúblic and help me restore it 😂
Aww thank you, glad you enjoyed it! I never wanna see another rusty CRX in my life, thank you very much :D
If this doesn't make you appreciate the fact that the 1G Insight is almost all aluminum and fiberglass body wise nothing will...
Totally! I would love to own one one day, such a cool car.
Now make this into a series, a new car new repair once a week.
Come on, be reallistic. How about a new car bi-weekly? I can easily promise that.
Buying an 85 crx si today. My lady and I have seven cats
Omg this is one of the most exciting videos I’ve ever seen on TH-cam. Same car. Same process. Not nearly as bad condition. Please do more would like to donate
Ooo thank you so much! Yes, next episode coming shortly, probably less than 2 days!
Yip the Kelly 70 tyre definitely N.Z
Hyped for this, Subbed!
One of the best restoration videos I have seen in a long time
Great video . Glad to see you're saving one from the crusher! Looking forward to seeing more progress.
Thanks! Though maybe it would have been recycled into metal that ends up on a Ferrari? Or maybe bedpans.. who knows??
I've done lots of metal work myself on 60s north american cars - I can really appreciate the complexity of this and all theeffort done to document it, great job! I don't think I blinked for 8 minutes
This is my first (and I'm thinking also last), but metalwork is fun! Would love me some classic 60s yank tank!
Cool video, quite the undertaking. I would have considered that a parts car at best but with enough patience and skill maybe it will turn out to be a nice project!
Not sure about your choice of galvanized steel for the patches. It makes toxic fumes when welded and might be hard to paint. I'm no expert though, good luck!
Oh it totally is a 100% bad idea. I mainly started it only because I wanted to do rust repair. It didn't seem THAT bad initially, but when I got to the bad parts I was too far invested to quit.
Galvanized - yes, it's a questionable choice. I mainly did it out of convenience, because local scrapyard had a lot of cheap suitable sheets. And yes, it is hazardous to weld. It's pretty windy out there and I wore a mask, so never had a fume fever. But definitely not the smartest choice.
One advantage is I only had to worry about treating the welds inside - rest will never rust.
OK i just found out old crx from the junkyard is à thing on yt, and i'm glade it existe
It's not a junkyard, it's my friend's frontyard filled with junk.. so technically uhhh yeah
Seriously impressive work, both in filming, editing, and the restoration
Cheers to Honda Fit, I have one too! Only nana spec daily driver tho
This is amazing work both car and video! Can't wait to see how you finish the car.
TY! Not sure if it will ever be "finished" finished, but definitely going to be at least driving.
Wait New Zealand?
Love the stop motion, really pleasing to watch, great job
got me sub mate!
This is how you FIX
Not just service items
Or
Minor bolt on repairs
If people embraced fixing and took time to learn, not be primadonna's seeking convenience then there will be more cars saved, less pollution. less personal debt, less unproductive time and less need to buy new.
LOVE this editing!
Awesome project man!
im about to restore my 1g crx that my grandpa got me when i was 3 years old im 19 now. the plan was for us to restore it together when i got older but i never got that chance to do that with him, but im still going to attempt to do it on my own. i rlly liked watching this video as it'll give me atleast a rough guideline on what i can do!
Aww, that's touching! Wish you the best with the restoration. Is your car complete? If so, maybe I'd focus on making it mechanically driving first. Take your time and beware, on video things look easy.. in reality stuff is much harder. I wanted to give up many times, in fact the car is still pretty unfinished. But hopefully yours is not a total disaster like mine :D
@@sidney9534 thank you so much and the exterior isnt too bad minus the missing front end but the interior definitely needs work and i do plan on swapping out the engine i already have a gsr head and im wanting to put it on a b20 block but yes it will definitely be a process with lots of work needed to be done but im excited to start and learn more along the way!
@@whatsbehindu That's awesome, I'll be happy to see more as you progress!
This looks like alot of work but im happy your saving it! ❤️👊 cannot wait to see more!
Thank you so much! Next part coming soon, in 4 days
@@sidney9534 I am in the process of seeing if my rocker panels can be repaired on my CD6 Accord. Only problem i cannot find new rocker panels so im probably going to see if my body guy can cut some off another car or something.
@@Minus-km7hx Are they super complicated shape? I got lucky with mine, they are pretty simple shape (simple bends), so no problem to fabricate. Good luck
Nice good job bro.got a 99civic for 400 bucks 3years ago .love wrenching on it .the engineering is simple but strong
Always loved the first gen crxs , such a cool car, my favourite feature Are the frameless doors
VAZ-2121 NIVA (Jiguli), not lada, only Jiguli!)
Great video good job
ty kindly!
Ну НИВАсика рядом красного, можно было бы тоже восстановить для поездок на Охоту/Рыбалку, тем более там Советская Нива она куда лучшее Российской.
Yes, I did some welding on the Niva too. But the owner doesn't have energy and will to fix it mechanically. It's waiting for another enthusiast to come and save it. (google translate: Так, я теж на Ниві робив зварювання. Але у власника немає сил і волі механічно лагодити це. Чекає, коли прийде інший ентузіаст і врятує його.)
My first car at the age of 17 was a 1986 Honda CRX HF. Great little car
you are incredibly skilled and great camera operator too. you make it look so easy.
You flatter me too much, thank you
Holy shet how did you edit like this ? You wearing a green suit ?
pffhaha, no just the old school way. Do something - step away - take a photo - repeat
@@sidney9534 holy shet that must taken a lot of time . Anyways I enjoyed this content . That was a shet ton of rust !!!!!
This, this is just wow. 👍
Keep it up. Great work so far
I would love to watch your editing process. wow
Makes me miss my 85.
Where it ended up?
@@sidney9534 sadly a junk yard. frame rusted through
@@hamtrow ah yes, not uncommon fate. Mine would be right next to it soon.
You are amazing. Gonna keep watching. Subbed
Hey, i found same red CRX 91’ in my grandpa’s garden, if I could send u a picture, could you tell me how much money and time gonna invest in it
Too much :D
Finally someone has realized that the only thing separating cats and cars is one letter.
... aside from the person who tried to combine them with carts. He tried. But he flew a little too close to the sun.
Sometimes that thing is a methead with a sawzall! Still profound thought none the less, thank you!
You’re doing great! 🤙🏽 keep it up!
Wow did not expect you to go so deep into this
Me neither to be honest!
Just wow, i truly enjoyed watching this video, good job!,
Ty so much, happy to entertain :)
Awesome video, and good job.
Where I live they dismantled Crx's for far less rust so respect that you save that old lady
Here normally too, it's just me and my silly ambitions. Thank you
This is so cool! Mad respect.
You don't scare easily, do you....🤣
Is it courage, or foolishness? ;)
Nice
Nice‼️
COOL
fabulous video and lovely repair job
Many thanks!
SUBBED
Did you use galvanized steel?
Yes, it's not ideal but I had it handy.
Is it an 85?
86. 85 has the Camaro semi-popup headlights.
The mighty Vodka Express niva beside it 😍😍😍
It's a showcar. But I've never seen anything so rusty, it's holding together by interior panels and trim
I helped build it... We did it in 48 hours 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@sidney9534 I was going to ask if you wanted to fix the rust in my Lada but Baxter said you have gone overseas for work
@@shannonbray oh that's you from? I'll be back soon
@@sidney9534 I'm up the road in Oamaru, I have a Lada niva that has done 34,000km and it's a 1984 model
I have a genuine full rear quarter panel for Mk1 CRX, never going to have time to restore mine though. Awesome 😎 work your doing, great video skills too
