Restoration Of An 80's Icon - Honda CR-X - Part 3
The old scotch pie in the air fryer, classic!. All joking aside, this is one of the best channels out there, no ridiculous intros, egos, procrastination or nonsense. Really looking forward to seeing this progress!
I was about to comment the same! this channel is a gem.
Thank you so much, you're too kind :)
*My Mechanics* is the other one.
Excellent as we say in Ireland
You're some man for one man. 😊
Och aye to a scotch pie!
Never ever apologise for the time taken. Gotta say these vlogs are a delight. You and Allen Millyard keep me sane after a day at work.
Gotta check out Diesel Creeks Shenanigans with his Grader "Christine"...
That'll keep you entertained for Hours 🤠
Thank you , really glad you enjoy my work. I do enjoy Allens work love watching him build stuff just so therapeutic :)
@@RRCRestoration I work in a car plant building the Engines and know what goes into it. And man, taking off that rust barrier 😳😳
Allen Millyard eh? Just found a new sub!
Allen Millyard is the Bomb . It's a shame he does not sell his Creations to the public. Go Team Green.😊
I am probably not your usual demographic viewer, being a middle aged, disabled woman, but I love your videos. Thank you for sharing what you do, I thoroughly enjoy these films.
Thank you so much, Im really happy to hear that you enjoy my work it means a lot to me :)
But that's the whole beauty of automotive. Everybody's invited
All are welcome in the world of rust and tears.
They are oddly relaxing, aren't they :D Especially when he lets "the tools do the talking".
_workshop asmr_
A masterclass in how to take an overwhelming project and calmly break it down into do-able chunks.
Respect and thanks👍👍👍
You could sell tickets to sit there watching. First class workmanship and a humble sense of pride to detail.
turning restoration into a live action spectator sport now theres an idea ;)
I worked in a Pipework Fab Shop, in Glasgow many years ago and an Independent Inspector came round to assess the workshop. He opened a Rod Oven and it was full of pies. He slammed the door shut and said........... "I didn't see that"
I'm going to save this episode till morning. Coffee, no interruptions and RRC. Heaven !!!😀😀😀
Haha I absolutely love that comment! I hope you enjoy the video :)
George must have been as excited as I am to see another episode on the CRX restoration !! 🤣🤣👌
He was indeed, He enjoyed cleaning up the mess of underseal too lol
I could watch you work on that car for hours and hours, your videos are absolutely amazing.
thank you so much :)
@@RRCRestoration Where did you find the repair panels? Thanks in advance
Also, what type of wheel did you utilize at 17:01 of the video?
Watching an artist at work is never boring, there is always something to be learned whether techniques, order of procedure, or just seeing that being organized is so important. Keep on doing what you're doing and we'll keep watching.
Most of us would see this job and relegate the car to the wrecker, but seeing it broken down into individual procedures in an ordered fashion is very helpful!
The lenghts you go through for all these cinematic shots...Setting up the cameras in a way that they don't overlap, taking the time to do a simple act, like throwing a rusty piece on the ground over and over just to catch it from multiple angles...
And just the fact that you are restoring this piece of automotive history deserves nothing but respect!
You, dear sir are an artist!
Best resto channel on TH-cam. Cant wait for you to get to the engine 👍
Thank you so much :)
You could start a support group with Geoffrey Croker and Restore It for all the rust repairs you've done over the years. Utterly overwhelming and a total labor of love. Hats off to you on this. It's already becoming one of your best restorations yet!
Doesn't matter how tedious you think the work is , we the viewer love to watch you at work , producing what you do so expertly
Yeah we can understand now, why you didn’t upload yt at least a month ago. Yap, the result on fix on service rust are now done. Great job!
Thanks for leaving a comment :) This was the hardest part of the restoration things should progress a lot quicker with this stage done and dusted.
Awesome, like a Project Bixby, except I might actually see the end before the kids are grown and done with college! But like Bixby the time taken to work out the details and not cut corners is what makes it so special.
I really admire you for taking on such a restoration !! That is no easy task, there is MUCH work on this one! I take my hat off (if I had one) for you !! 🎩 👍
Thank you so much :)
Genius! The hardest working man on You Tube with the patience of a saint. Top work 😊👍
So much respect for the patience this takes. Over the last few years I've revived an old Honda CB360 and got it back on the road. I didn't do a full restoration but instead a 'restomod' cafe racer kind of deal. I nearly went nuts trying to get all of the dirt out of the fins of that air cooled engine, and I still didn't really fully restore it, just got it 'a lot cleaner'. Great job taking the time to do things as well as you can!
Thank you so much for watching and leaving a comment. I know exactly how you feel trying to clean air cooled fins. You maybe could've sent it out for vapor blasting if the engine was apart?
@@RRCRestoration Yeah, having parts blasted, and then painted/powder coated would have been amazing, but I was working with an itty bitty budget just to get the bike back on the road and 'lookin cool; so I diy'd all the cleaning. Certainly spent a lot of time watching videos and researching forums for 'how hard and expensive is it to get your own media blasting setup' but ultimately never had the money/space for all the gear. Eventually though!
I hope you're a TH-cam millionaire already. If not, I'd feel guilty watching this level of craftsmanship for free. You really should show your face, have the world know who they can come to for this level of care.
Just sat down with a brew and you upload another installment for us... couldn't have timed that better. 👏
Nice one, enjoy :)
I am currently doing up my 98 Honda civic, like the cr-x, its got a lot of rust! this series has so far given me massive insight on what to expect and I have learned a lot. As my first project car, I've definitely bitten off more than I can chew! However your videos have inspired me and has made me even more eager to get on and weld it. Thank you for sharing your skills talents and experience! Your channel is an incredible place to learn :)
I'm impressed to see how quickly you work. Some other restorer would make one episode for one part and take month to do what you did in one week.
Thank you so much, yeah I don't believe in dragging out projects I'd rather make good progress and give you guys good value for the time you invest into watching my videos :)
Wow, this restoration is on another level! Most people wouldn't have the vision or dedication to take on a project like this, but you, sir, are an artist. The attention to detail and the care you're putting into this CRX are truly impressive. Can't wait to see the final result-it's going to be a beauty! Keep up the amazing work!
Awesome and satisfying!! Your accent with your narration makes it all the more better!!
Thank you so much, glad you enjoyed it :)
This is the best restoration channel on you tube, the humour and the expertise is outstanding, well done, can't wait until the next episode
Somebody sponsor this guy with tools! He needs an english wheel. Eastwood I'm looking at you! Making body pannels with a sandbag is painful... ask me how I know... amazing work as always, and the repairs and video are always honest about the effort it takes to restore whatever it is you are working on.
Thank you so much for watching and leaving a comment :)
Im here imagining if this was me working on this car I would end up getting frustrated on areas I have no clue how to fix.
You made this look easy that shows how good you are with your craftsmanship
Always knew the CR-X (the 'Mk 2' in particular) was going to become a classic one day, always thought of it as the Mini Cooper S of the late 20th C. Fantastic watch as always (and it's going to get even better, especially when you get to the oily bits).
Yeah I had that exact same feeling, I just didn't think they would become so scarce so quickly but working on this one i can see why they all disappeared lol. thanks for watching :)
Love the detailed shots. Again, takes an experienced hand to know what the show, and what to skip. This was great fun watching. Keep them coming ! Us Canadian's know all about rust!
...one cup of boiling water later... What an "odyssey" you are on, it give me chills only from the preview, but you are the perfect example that power of will and basic tools are enough to bring these machines back to life
Absolutely no need to apologise. Very interesting and enlightening to watch the slow process. Thoroughly enjoyed it, and thank you for sharing 😉
Thank you so much for watching and leaving a comment :)
Mr. RRC! Please don't ever feel like you have to put in extra effort, on top of the actual huge workload and necessary video production, just to 'entertain' us. Watching you work, picking up the nuggets of information, and getting easy-to-swallow explanations along the way is reward enough. We don't need to be entertained, we need to be impressed. And brother, we surely are by you 👉👉👉. Lovin' the thought that with this being quite a large task, it'll probs go on for a fair few episodes 😊. That's just all good news 👍👍👍. 😎
Never seen such a jackstand, great device!
What a diverse skill set you've developed. Might be worth a "behind the scenes" where you talk about how to grow such diverse mechanic capacities. Thanks for another great vid!!
I enjoyed every minute. I just wish i had your skill and patience ❤
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it :)
Not exciting.. hypnotic! Excellent work as always. Wasn't sure the car restoration would be for me but come to realise its the process and the craft that keeps me coming back not the subject under resto.
Finally, thank you sir for sharing this journey restoration. Nice 👍
Thanks for watching and leaving a comment :)
Absolutely love these builds mate, sinking a few cans and watching this come to life…is a hell of a lot more uplifting the BS what is currently happening atm. I take my cap off to you sir, and thank for these videos 👌🏻🙌🏻💪🏻🫡
Best episode so far. The number of camera angles in all the episodes is very impressive and must add so much time to a restoration, but I for one massively appreciate it, I would not have the patience 😂
Thank you so much for your kind comment :)
All your works are incredibly well done, but the of rebuilding the corroded chassis is awesome! The skill level you´ve shown here is fantastic!
I have been refreshing TH-cam nonstop since your last video. My F5 key is peacefully resting in the grave no, thank you
@@CletusMcFetus85 tbf, my youtube notifs arrive anywhere from a few seconds late to multiple weeks after the upload goes live 🤷
Thanks for watching and leaving a comment :)
You must have the patience of a Saint!!! Great work,thankyou for the videos

29:25, where do you get that, and can you dpray it on? Watching from the United States.
I think Its only available in Europe, although there may be people importing it into the states by now? It can be sprayed but bilt hamber recommends brushing for best results.
Just love every aspect of how you work and produce your content. This series is the first of your car ones I have watched, having only watched your motorcycle ones. Thank you for such great entertainment. Breathtaking.
I wanted to stop in, and congratulate your fantastic work!! You have an amazing amount of skill and talent…your hard work is definitely appreciated!
Don't apologize, this is fascinating stuff. People who watch this stuff on car channels are probably sleeping on your channel because there are so many phony restoration channels out there. I love the turning the car on its side to work on, I rarely see that but if fluids are drained why not.
Amazing endurance. To grind for hours and hours revealing more and more rust to fix, then fabbing and welding for a further massive amount of time.
Wow!
Thank you.
I did a 1960 Austin Healey Sprite....Acid dipped the car and 40% of the car disappeared....That restoration from start to finish took 5.5 years......Love your work and your editing is spot on , will be with you throughout Ty....and agree you are one of the top two or three on TH-cam.....My Mechanic is right up there also...onward
@davidaldrich3488 that's most of the car isn't it?! Lol They are pretty small cars. I would of loved to of seen that before and after the acid dipping and then after the resto. What colour did you go with for it? Original or different?
@@kayburridge old English white, red interior
@davidaldrich3488 oooooh I do love a red interior! I bet that looked amazing! Well done you for restoring it though. Another oldy saved :)
Most professionals are only good at their particular part of a job.
Your range of skills is incredible, you manage 3 or 4 different departments!
Bet you sleep well after those stripping days!
Keep it up 👍
Loving this series…crazy how much work went into this half hour! It looked very time consuming so I’m not surprised.
never apologise for time taken . The more the better in my eyes this how should be done keep up the good work and don't change anything fantastic channel
The amount of work you put into that restoration is just mindblowing ! Amazing work as always ! 👍👍👍
I've been waching 'my mechanics' do his datsun 240z restoration, and he calls the rollover jig a rotisserie, which makes me think of the car as a gigantic roast chicken. Now that you have one, I now view this CRX the same way which makes me very happy.
You've put this to gether really well! The skills needed to repair panels & weld them in, is always great to watch... especially as I can't do that! 🙂
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it :)
All i can say is thank you for all the videos and congrats to the awesome work you do mate! Not only you show us the reality about restoring an old car, plus, you do your work the best you can with an incredible expertise!
Mate! no need to apologise for the fantastic work you do.. it’s the process and needs to be done, keep up the great work and entertainment!!
Yes, everything takes time... When I restore a moped or a MC it will take me at least 3 month. working 3-4 hours a day (I still have have a daytime job), disassembly, stripping paint, cleaning parts, wait for parts 🙂, do the powdercoat, engine check, maybe wet paint, thinking a lot 🙂, make a misstake, assembly, change my mind about something and the testride. You know, this is why I love your projects.... I know what it takes, so big thanks to you and George!!!
@@Nrgpack do you have a TH-cam channel?
The shear amount of time and effort you have put in already is insane, I can't wait for the next video thank you
Your restoration is a true labor of love, evident in every meticulously restored inch of this car. The final product is a stunning testament to your passion and skill
Brilliant job on the repair patches. Using a rust converter barrier is absolutely the best decision in this case. George is the best apprentice mate! Teach him how to weld as good as you.
Im a mechanic and i can 1000% appreciate the time, effort and skill you put in, very impressive
One of the most underated restoration channel that exsit this guy is no joke he goes all out 🎉
You're too kind :)
Dude, you're a monster. Love the patience and effort you put into all of your projects and filmmaking - it is truly a joy to watch. Cheers from California!
Thank you so much my friend :)
Holy smokes what a bloody inspiration this is!!! I could easily watch hours of unedited footage. Thank you for your time spent!!
You're too kind :)
I’ve said it before but I’ll say it again this is the best channel and the most skilled human being Ive ever seen and you could make anything interesting my friend. Well done and as you say, see you on the next one!!
The amount of patience and skill required. Not an easy thing to have or do nowadays.. 👍🏻
I had my doubts but I should’ve known better. 😉👏🏻
Your commitment to the challenge is awe inspiring. George must be as high as a kite on all of that underseal and filler dust! Seriously though, your talent is immense and a joy to watch. Looking forward to the next instalment. Cheers! 🍻
Cheers buddy me and George always enjoy hearing from you . Really glad you are enjoying the series so far :)
I absolutely am addicted to this channel. I get withdrawals after two weeks when I check every morning for an episode. Once I have my finances in order I will become a patreon. I love the in depth detail and really appreciate showing the steps from striping paint back to welding to fixing problems. I have a tourneo minibus which has the infamous rust problem and watching your channel has given me the confidence to try and tackle it myself. However it is silver so I will struggle to match the colour when painting. But really love the channel
You have a lot more patience than me... Great channel!!!! Heres a tip for you. If you wrap a meter or so of chain around the foot of your anvil, it will get rid of the ring.
I normally never Like, Comment and Subscribe on videos. bBut I really want this video to get as much interaction as possible for the algorithm to pick up!
Amazing work and eye for detail, love it!
Brilliant job ,doesnt seem to look that bad,tedeous job that cut and patch, cant wait to see the finished project,theres nothing more rewarding than ending the project and realising i did that,good going bud keep it up
Ur vids are always worth the wait...no shortcuts, just good old craftsmanship and elbow grease...❤
Thank you so much, glad you like them :)
The process of the Honda Cr-x restoration looks very good, keep going bro this is very Satisfying to watch 👌🏻😊
Your restoration skills and craftsmanship are amazing. Your video filming and editing skills are just as amazing.
Stunning work as usual. Thankyou for condensing a months worth into one post, so many would've eked that out to a half dozen posts. I think you needn't worry about your viewers thinking it was a quick job, everyone can see that you invest so much into dverything you touch. As usual, thanks for sharing.
For me these are the most exiting part of restoring anything, becuase you can see al the handcrafting wich is done, much more if there is not any spare that you can buy and through in. I reallly enjoy watching your videos. Greetings from Argentina.
Thank you, really glad that you like my work :)
I appreciate the work and effort you put into this project. The most people would have given up when seeing the amount of rust...
Thank you so much for your generosity it really means the world to me to have your support :)
Plenty of love coming your way from Australia!
Half n hour of entertainment and wishing I could have a CRX one day!
Dont ever change!
What an impressive job. Easily one of my top channels and I’m not into cars, more bikes love the quality of your work.
Thank you very much! Always nice to hear from you. :)
Love the video's, I'm in the middle of a restoration myself, so I can appreciate the hard work you are doing. Most people don't realize how long these take if you do them properly
Thank you so much, yeah that's why i though I'll mention in this video about how long it takes to do things correctly, I'd love to have a video ready every few days but doing things right takes time.
Great video. Demonstrates how tedious and difficult hard the job is and like the humourous parts.
good job taking on the CRX, there's not a lot of honda's i like but the CRX is at the tippy top of my short list.
just sat at my pc with coffee and a protein shake, lovely timing. always so happy to see your stuff, and this series has definitely been one of the best
Thank you so much, glad to hear you are enjoying it :)
Loving the time, skill effort put into this, the quality of the work on those sills is fantastic, just the lightest skin of filler and they'll be spot on. Nice to see a professional at work 😎👍
Thank you so much , really glad to hear you enjoyed it : )
Something to consider. Several of the other YTers that I watch have gone to an inexpensive HVLP sprayer for the sealer that you are using with great success. This way everything gets covered and you can then brush into some of the more rust prone areas.
Unbelievable. What skill, dedication and patience 👌
Love to watch restoration channels but from all of them you´re the best so far... Looking forward for part 4! Cheers from Argentina!
For me, it could have been more than 1 hour of video and I would still have watched it until the end. I have a car to do some repairs and you have already encouraged me to do them correctly.
Nice one, Im glad i could inspire you :)
I never skip your videos, even if it's only one minute, it's always fun to see how you work, I enjoy every second
Watching this makes me grateful I'm living in Canberra where the air is dry and there is no road salt. I only have to deal with people who insist on opening their doors onto my car and hitting it while trying to park their own vehicles... And it goes without saying that as a motorcycle rider, I am acutely aware of Teslas and dual-cab ute drivers.
But I am totally envious of the huge space in which you carry out excellent standard of work.
Cheers
Your commitment to the process, is second to NONE! Bravo!
Thank you so much :)
You have made your video interesting. I am in awe of your focus to detail, your knowledge and how you think of alternatives (using a different panel and altering it to fit. Please keep it up I look forward to every post. Awesome Sir. Cheers
I'm going through the same process right now on my 1964 vw bug!! Hard work for sure!! Great video!! 😊
Nice, good luck with your bug :)
Appreciate all the work you do for the videos. Also seeing you save cars like this is great. Im a Honda guy with a few 90's nuggets myself, and seeing that rust disappear is so nice.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it :) Do you have any ek9's in your collection? I've a serious soft spot for them :)
@@RRCRestoration I have a USDM 99 Civic Hatch DX model. Was thinking of turing it into a track car as it has a good amount of body damage thats fixable, and no rust. But life changed things. My favorite is my 97 Del Sol Si. Was my daily for a while. Now I got some goodies for it while fixing a part I struggled to find.
Same job here😢
2cv restoration.
8:30 reminds me my self struggling..
Amazing work mate 💪keep up
Amazing work mate, another gem 💎 being saved and given a second chance at life. Keep up the amazing content mate. Outstanding attention to detail.
Thank you so much for your kind comment :)
Fantastic work, really, really enjoying watching you bring this lady back to life, thanks for your hard work.👍
Thank you for watching and leaving a comment :)
Fantastic work !
It's good to see the king of catering again !
You inspire me to renovate things!
The Honda has landed in the right place, brilliant work as usual. Great job
I am under no illusion how long this all takes. The fact you turn things over as quickly as you do, defies this fact. I wish I'd sent you my old T2b Devon Campervan, which was like a postage stamp. In as much as you could tear it round the periphery the rust was so bad. It was like painting the proverbial Forth Rail bridge...(I now have a newer T6)
I absolutely love that description of your T2 I think I'll need to start using it when i come across rot boxes haha. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment :)
