Save it Jon! No matter what it’s going to go up in value. I’m in the same boat at you I come across cheap shells and can’t seem to let them go 😁 another build is always necessary if the wife is ok with it! Save it!!!
I feel like this could be a good platform for someone else getting their first crx. But I would be very selective on who I sold it to and really make sure it goes to a good home. Could bring someone else alot of joy, I say sell it.
Always check fuel pump on these EFs when they had been sitting for a while. Almost always it’s rusted away beyond saving. Replace tank pump and filter. Awesome vid like always.
My fuel pump looked worse when I pulled it out after the car sat in the garage for seven years. I had to replace the whole tank and fuel pump. It sucked but had to be done. Awesome content bro!
Dude its an Si its a definite save. These are going up in value not as much as the Type R but they are def in the class of collectors. Anything Type R, Type S, Si , or A spec will be valuable
With cars going the way they are it may be the last one you find in that shape. If you where to paint it white the right way throw a b16 stock and put sir badges on it.....keep it "stock" or resto mod it. Oh and if you need ac parts I have all but the hi low lines
Canada here big dawg, per everyone...save it! One day and you would have it ready plus you have the spare engine... this is perfect opportunity for you n Chris to build it... no effort on tear down n love to install right! Let us know! Razor blade n soapy water will remove blue on windscreen...fuel filter as well, this is actually interesting dawg...Keep turning that wrench...playa...one love...(Spoon)
Something I wish I had done when I got my shell running was replace the tank and pump. Went through 2 fuel pumps and 3 filters before I finally just said fuck it and got a new tank.
Not everyone needs a perfect looking crx man. I know you have your own views and it's hard for you to see past every single 88-91 Civic/crx being completely restored to OEM status, but that's not us. This guy and I both already own pretty looking OEMish cars. And to tell you the truth, these beaters are 100x more fun than those "lookers".
I haven't even hit play yet, the answer is SAVE! but watching, any idea when it was repainted blue? that looks an awful lot like my old red crx si that I sold many years back, was repainted that color blue, turbo doc zc and a body kit.. body kit removed before it was sold again... I wonder if I still have that vin number somewhere.....
@@GarageBuiltHondas yup! But just realized you said it was an 88? Mine was a 91. I still want to find that vin and see if I can see where it eventually landed
Dude you’re now my go to for my Honda CR-V, thanks for your videos. Maybe you can help with this: everytime I honk the horn it blows the fuse and that circuit also disables the shifter. Is this a common issue with ‘99s? I REALLY like horns... I can’t really find a short, any ideas? I thought maybe it has something do with the airbag possibly, the car needs to go in for a recall that will hopefully get rid of the red srs light that has been on forever.
That interior is screaming for a detail shampoo. Good lord the colors that would come out of the fabric from 30+ years of collection. Nasty haha, I would love to wrap the car in a demascus vinyl with the blue paint that would be sick.
This is exactly how my $500 crx I just bought is there anyway you could do a a video about the engine harnesses/charge harness it keeps blowing the 60amp fuse And I cannot figure out why❤️
Good deal, you can easily part and make profit ... but would be little tedious... I vote restore and sell for profit. If anything, could make plenty of good content!
Hey I live in el paso in horizon. Can you help me find a si or hf crx? I can't find on :( I need a driver. I haf a 91 si with a b16 swap in my youth but now that I'm almost 40 I need a new crx.
stuff like this annoys me, i have a 97 civic thats an auto, swapped out the trans for another auto and now cant get the damn thing to start, not even with starting fluid
3:32 lol imagine having a CR-V in the wrong county. I always hated that back door swinging the wrong way. How hard would it have been for them to just put the hinge on the right side for the US models.
Lol, I think this is the appropriate side since I exit from the driver side. I like the swing door in CR-V's, better than a hatch style door. I've been able to use it with my window open and transport longer items.
@@GarageBuiltHondas BRO! Lol I drive an Element now (With the clam trunk) So much better! The swinging door should be on the other side cause if you use that on a busy road in the city, think of how wrong it is if someone parks behind you. It's no big deal though, I miss my CR-V. There corkey ness becomes the reasons why we love Hondas, am I right?
Save
Man! We all need a friends like Jon! Good job guys!
Yeah man good friends are hard to come by. The last swap I did, my wife helped me. To be honest I'd rather do swaps with her anyway.
Save it Jon! No matter what it’s going to go up in value. I’m in the same boat at you I come across cheap shells and can’t seem to let them go 😁 another build is always necessary if the wife is ok with it! Save it!!!
I agree. Glad he's keeping it and not me. I need the space!
I would love to have a SiR in my collection man lol
I feel like this could be a good platform for someone else getting their first crx. But I would be very selective on who I sold it to and really make sure it goes to a good home. Could bring someone else alot of joy, I say sell it.
wish we could find a non rotted shell in canada for $300. great find
Always check fuel pump on these EFs when they had been sitting for a while. Almost always it’s rusted away beyond saving. Replace tank pump and filter. Awesome vid like always.
Save it build it keep it. You take great care of Hondas.
Thank you. I try my best!
Glad Winter restoring it looking real good keep them videos rolling too Jon 🙌🏻
Save this thing!! Keep the CRXs on the road!!
My fuel pump looked worse when I pulled it out after the car sat in the garage for seven years. I had to replace the whole tank and fuel pump. It sucked but had to be done. Awesome content bro!
Super gross.
Best feeling in the world when a swap or reinstall fires up for the 1st time!
Amen
That fuel tank/pump was NASTY!!! Great build/video.
Yuck!!
If you can restore it cost effectively, do it and sell it or keep it.
Depends on the $ and time you’d have to commit .
👍
With your capabilities the possibilities are endless!
Thanks for the faith in me! 👍
Build it! Would make a good series.
Dude its an Si its a definite save. These are going up in value not as much as the Type R but they are def in the class of collectors. Anything Type R, Type S, Si , or A spec will be valuable
👍
Nice crx and I’m glad y’all brought it back to life from a shell to having a motor!💪🏽
👍
For your cars that are running hot use shell rotella t6 15w-40, it works.
👍
With cars going the way they are it may be the last one you find in that shape. If you where to paint it white the right way throw a b16 stock and put sir badges on it.....keep it "stock" or resto mod it. Oh and if you need ac parts I have all but the hi low lines

Lol. It happens man
@@GarageBuiltHondas Yep. I learned my lesson with my 90 hatch.
Speaking of hatches. Don't you have a B20 in one of yours?
This one does, but it spun a bearing. th-cam.com/play/PL9veTzRcotDnAuxXrp56p5jgsOyRTXUce.html
Save it , crx si are becoming increasingly rare, especially in that good of condition!
👍
Love the TH-cam channel and love seeing these kinds of videos. Keep up the awesome content 👍
👍
Kinda like that blue color. Good job bro
👍
You can bring it back, save it!
Save it. It's so hard to find one is decent condition. The value for the si model is going up. K series?
Not sure what Chris will want to do with it in time.
If Chris thinks about selling in future maybe we can talk numbers at a later time I'm located in San Antonio.
Hit him up on Facebook. Chris Winters. Ask him.
I learned something very valuable from this video: you can fit a fold-up engine hoist in the back of a CRV. 😂
Seriously, best part of the video!
Never would have even tried that!
Damn $300 you'd be a fool to not save it! Has alot of potential 👍🏾
Agreed!

@@oldskool1979 people have purpose built cars what do u not understand lol
I’d love to own a crx someday, such a clean car
👍
That gas tank and pump looked like mine after sitting for 15 years. I replaced the tank and the pump/assembly

I've always wondered where a lot of my old cars went. I found 2 in a junkyard which hurt, but no idea on so many others.
I love 88’s
I have a 88’ wagovan. Great video!
👍
I like how they covered the windshield when the previous owner painted it
👍

That's odd. I don't have a clue. Sorry!
Buen proyecto de restauración ya quisiera a mi Honda Civic 1989 poder hacerle una operación similar... En fin es lo que hay 🐸😸😸😸 Mr. Koeman
Looks 1000x better👍
I'm building CR-X too in japan.
I have to do my best.
Yes! 🙏
The Ceiling Fan has rod knock.
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣🥰
It pains me to see EF (or CRX) cars in such condition. If anyone can, you can, Jon!
Man I wish I could find a shell that clean .
They're out there every now and then.
That interior is screaming for a detail shampoo. Good lord the colors that would come out of the fabric from 30+ years of collection. Nasty haha, I would love to wrap the car in a demascus vinyl with the blue paint that would be sick.
Save. Its getting hard to find these chassis. The price is gonna go through the roof
My heart always says save it
Me too
Damn , did I miss the blade silver CRX getting wrecked and totaled out? Real shame there.
No, it wasn't on video. Getting repainted.
@@GarageBuiltHondas . Lol, oh my bad. 😂🤦🏻♂️Well good at least it’s still around.
He did a lot of the work during Covid and we weren't hanging out since we were so busy.
This is exactly how my $500 crx I just bought is there anyway you could do a a video about the engine harnesses/charge harness it keeps blowing the 60amp fuse And I cannot figure out why❤️
I'm not really good at wiring, sorry!
@@GarageBuiltHondas I’ve narrowed it down to the fuse box wire that goes to the alternator she’ll alive once again 😎
Damn, good luck man! I hate wiring issues.
Save it! I need more inspiration to get one again.
👍
Good deal, you can easily part and make profit ... but would be little tedious... I vote restore and sell for profit. If anything, could make plenty of good content!

This color, and the side marker lights?! Make it your own
JDM!
Hey man love your channel i have an EF
Hello, what happened to the Silver crx?
Getting a new paint job! 👍
@@GarageBuiltHondas oh Nice
Nice find
We wish
good job on the car!
Restoration. And then sell 🤙
So im just learning but question...why do they front wheels spin while it runs?
Clutch cable needs adjustment.
I really enjoyed this video! Thanks for the content brotha !
Thanks man, appreciate that!
Man you, crx Seth and young static are the ef 🤴's. Edited on 9-20 @5:43
and yung static
@@MooreProjects most definitely can't forget him. To show my respect to him I am editing my comment.
@@johnnelwhite I follow all of them. I love the EF community.
@@MooreProjects I'll be honest I'm a eg,DC and ek type of guy but I must say the ef's are growing on me.
@@johnnelwhite that’s the way I was too. I’ve had them all. Ek was the first. Then eg, the the DC2, and now I’ve owned 4 efs
I've been looking for a crx and nothing so far in my area :(
They come and go quickly.
How much to ship that to Indiana so my 15 year old and I can build it!
Don't think the owner wants to sell it.
How much u want for it the way it sits?
You'd have to ask the new owner.
What happened to it? It looks like a decent shell.
I'll have another video of it out in about 2 weeks.
You can't even buy nice shoes for under $300 nowadays. Save that car!
I’m looking for DC Integra she’ll if you ever come across it.
👍
save her, do an extreme budget build/shop spares build
That's exactly what he's working on
For 2500$ that’s a DEAL!!!!
👍
Yes sell it to me lol i been watching too many crx videos and want my own now… someday il find my self a cheap crx to make my daily project
Do it! You'll love it!
great video, amazing work.
👍

Keep an eye on Facebook and OfferUp. There's a orange crx on OfferUp right now that is a big project. But looks kinda complete.
build!!!!!!!!
Save!
Hey Jon, I need that Da T bar! How much?? Lol.
I sold it a long time ago, sorry!
Cool car bro love CRX
👍
Its an Si gotta save it!
Agreed. Color doesn't matter.
$2500 for a running crx, I'll come get it tomorrow.
👍
What a paint job!?? Even the license plate! I guess a razor blade can clean it up a bit.
I see the reasoning. The front windshield is cracked, but the plate? Takes 10 seconds to remove it. Lol
I want those CRX wheels...
They're out there, I see them for sale ever now and then.
@@GarageBuiltHondas Probably more common where your from, hardly any CRXs out here in the northeast haha
True that. Want me to ask if he wants to sell?
@@GarageBuiltHondas sure why not! Not sure how much it'd be for shipping though if he did lol
$100ish without tires
Please save it
👍
Keep it and restore it back to stock but just lower it and rims and don't track it
Track life it is! Lol
Part it out 100%
👍
Save it!
👍
stuff like this annoys me, i have a 97 civic thats an auto, swapped out the trans for another auto and now cant get the damn thing to start, not even with starting fluid
Needs gas and spark, pretty much it. Check those and go from there.
Save it

Save.

SAVE
🙏
Save it dude bring her back to life put everything original back or K swipe it
Save!!
👍
you could get 300 just for the headlights easy.
👍
Keep!!!

Save!!!!!!

So is it for sale now?
He's not selling, unless someone wants to pay 4k. Which means he wants to keep it.

👍
Hell Yeah!!
🙏
Selling it?
Ask the new owner. Everything has a price.
Plz save it🙏.
👍
save 100%
👍
I'll buy it just like that for 1200
Right, definitely worth it still?
Save it make it great
🙏
Save it please

Ill give you a grand for it right now.
You'd have to convince the new owner!
Wish i could find a shell for $300😢😢😢😢
