It definitely does 💯
Learning a lot from your techniques and thought processes.. thank you brotha!
Thank you! 💪 I appreciate the support
Awesome job Jonathan, looking good!

Great job Jonathan! It's like opening up a can of worms but you're methodical and you're getting there. I agree with little miss "YAY you did it!" 👍😂😂
Its a never ending can of worms! Lol . gotta stay motivated! That girl is a hand full !! Shes a turd lol. Dont let her cuteness fool you 😂
Looks miles better Jonathan I enjoyed it 👍👍👍👍
Thank you ! Plenty more to come ! 👍
Just want to let you know that I REALLY enjoy your channel. You are incredibly talented in so many ways.... from your obvious mechanical and body skills to your videography and the clear, concise manner in which you explain your methods. I watch many TH-cam mechanics but your videos are by far the best. Keep up the EXCELLENT work! Really digging the CRX videos.
Thank you , I really appreciate the kind comment. I'm really enjoying fixing the car . Doesnt feel like work to me. Its fun sharing my experience with my new car and I enjoying making the videos ! Thanks for watching 👍
Awesome progress on your Rex .
Thank you for watching 👍💪
This is Perfect video! Mine has the EXACT same problem with the front end except with the brace on the passenger side! I also have the same issue with my driver side door! This video will be essential to me! Thanks a TON!
You're welcome. Good luck on your repairs💪
Hammer and dolly, lovely
Im digging these vids. Had a friend with a '91 in HS and another with an '84. Theyre a nice change up from standard repair vids. Am waiting for the next one!!
Thank you, theyre fun little cars! Nothing but smikes when I get behind the wheel. Plenty more videos to come !
Great progress on da CRX can’t wait to see what’s next 👍🏼
Thanks, plenty more to come ! Some fun work 😬👍😊
About time you had a Supervisor🧒🏼
Subbed! I have a '90 Si with some of the exact same issues and appreciate your steadfast attention to detail.
Thank you and yes there are some common issues on these cars mainly due to age, plenty more work to be done on the crx 👍
Great work but still lots to do. Amazing how much rust there is.
Thanks and yes theres a lot to do. Welcome to chicago where every car is rotted away. Its not that bad considering its a 1991 👍 . if i could find new panels like you can for your car id be doing alot more work lol
Good that you found the interference of the struts on the bolts. Neat trick using the tape too.
Yeah it all worked out. Front end is fitting decent now 👍
Great series!
Must be nice to be able to fix things to your own high standards.
Thank you. I really am enjoying fixing the car. I cant wait to start driving it !
@@themechanic6117 Took my bug over to my mum's today. Love cruising in a classic car on a sunny day.
Thats the best! I love it. Enjoy your car as much as possible. I actually like that the car has no power steering or power windows, really takes me back in time and it makes me feel young again lol
Torx bolts for the win!!!!
They saved my bacon this time !
I like what you're doing so far. Glad to see another EF get some more life. I wouldn't bother too much with that stock hood, as it's going to need a hole in it for the k24 to fit. Even with the k20 I'm putting into mine, I have to get an SiR hood for it. I have heard rumor that the k24 can fit under the SiR hood, with the Hasport mounts, and hood risers, but the engine will sit really low, and you run risk of hitting the oil pan with road debris. Since you're used to doing body work, you might be able to do some sort of cowl on the stock hood, but it's not going to look stock either way.
Thank you for watching. K series in a crx 💪💪. The only reason im bothering with the hood is because in the mean time while the car has the original engine Itll eat at me to see it misaligned or something like that. Ive already accepted that the k24 will be coming through the hood lol. Im not going to lower the engine so much just to try to clear the hood and then be scared to go over any bump without denting my oil pan😂. I want to drive the car like a normal car so that means i need ground clearance.... Chop chop to the hood it is lol. Ive never been a fan of cowls on hoods, id rather just have the engine sticking through lol. Plenty more videos to come!
Thanks for the motivation really need to get back on finishing my CRX... good job on the video I'm subbing 👍👍
Thank you. I hear you.sometimes I need to watch other peoples project cars to get motivated on mine lol it seems never ending and takes 10x longer while recording 😂
I wish I had the patience to record what I'm doing. I always get to caught up with what I'm doing and forget to catch footage lol
@@stufadrummer i have so many parts for the crx that im itching to put on but i cant because i need to record everything and i need time for that lolit sucks
I cant wait to see once you do have time. I've put like $1800 into my crx and it's still gutted with no motor in it and the interior filled with parts lol... I bought a clean skeleton chassis with nothing on it for $200 last thing I did was put a new wind shield in it and replaced every bushing in the car with the energy suspension bushing kit.... I have 3 motors for it just got to decide what I'm gonna do... I have a built d16a6 bottom with a z6 head, a stock d16z6 and a rebuilt H22A
Looking good!
Thanks! Non stop working on it. Havent really driven it yet .
Excellent job nick
Who's nick ? 😂
There's nothing worse than a saggy front end!! LOL
Back to watching...
😂👍 it naturally comes with age
@@themechanic6117 Luckily... I'm still young at heart!
@@EXOVCDS 😂mmmhmm
These vids are making me want to fix my Crx lol. It’d be great if you link the parts you’re buying in the description. I think you get money from it or something if people click on it/buy it. Oh and I didn’t even know we could change the pins in the door hinges!
The new pins made a huge difference! Ill try to put links in.thank you
Nice work!
Nice work! I just brought a 91 si home and have to change out a drivers side quarter Panel but dread what I may find. Now I kind of have an idea!!
Nice! Ill have a video of repairing my Q panels
The mech a nic do you have a link to the panel you purchased?
@@024runner ill try to find one when i have time but i got mine off ebay. Theyre pretty easy to find on there

Nice job bro!!!
Thank you
I like how your daughter casually walks out into the rain when dad is busy filming. lol your cable latch is probably stretched thats why it wont return.
Good job.. 👍
Great video, certainly got your work cut out there.
Ohhh yeah. Plenty more vids of entertainment lol
I really need to do some of this on mines
Its easy.just takes time
Great job!! Can you tell us where did you find the aluminium fringe hood please? Thx
The clip at the 30:30 mark is in the wrong place and I just noticed the typo "bumber" instead of bumper. This is the result of staying up until 4am trying to edit a video lol.
Loving the videos. I am new to this car, and am learning a lot from you. Could you post links to where you find your parts?
Sure you didnt install the hood struts upside down? makes sense since the thinner rod portion would clear the bolt heads.
Before installing them i referred to the website of the creators and this is how they show them installed...also the thin rod isnt exposed when the hood is closed. Either way it would hit that bolt is what im assuming.
@@themechanic6117 Ah you're right, stupid me forgot that they compress into itself. Great work so far! I eagerly await every new upload on this car. I had a '90 SI that had the cleanest interior ever. Tracking down small parts was a nightmare but it was very fun to work on. The late 80s and early 90s Hondas were the best stuff. I also had a 88 SI with no AC but wifey and I didn't care cuz it was so much fun to drive around with the windows/sunroof open. Had to get rid of both since I forgot how my lazy butt hated manual steering lol.
Do you have a link for the hood hinges and the door hinge pins??
Do u by any chance know how to fix the crx back window latch ?
brother where you got your 310 billet hood hinge for your CRX.. i'm interested to buy purchase a pair as well.. and yeah I agree with you some invented parts can cost a pretty good penny but you know it's an unique part for someone's CRX.. lmk bout that hood hinge in your video. I love the video got a like vote from me.. brother keep up the good work u doing in ur crx
hahaa lol I found the price $229.99 but now with discount cost about $149.99 still pretty high but screw this, you live once brother :D
Exactly. I saw the $150 price and jumped on it 👍💪 thank you I appreciate the comments
Can you put the link?
Well done bud , that fluid film is pretty good to work with . Are you going to work on the car over the winter?
I cant keep the car in the garage during winter because ill need the space to work on cars. right now its not an issue because its nice out and i can work outside. Ill have to look into storing the CRX during winter. definitely not driving it in the winter.depending on where i store the car will decide if ill get any work done to it. most likely there wont be any crx videos during the winter.
Ya but it smells something awful. 🤢
@@Zib187 it sure does. I cant seem to get used to the smell lol
@@Zib187 Doesn't taste good either 😅
I have a 90” CRX n need some help or any ideas to figure out how to get car to start back again?
Have to start with basics, car needs fuel , air, spark to start
Look after your little apprentice 😂😂
👍
💪
Ironally I have the exact same problem with mine, could you send a link to the slide hammer you own? I’m using this video as reference it’ll help to use the same as what u are
Check my Amazon link. It's in the "general tools i use" category. It's called a slide hammer
Link to the hood struts?!
Ill look for the link 👍
