    I cannot begin to express the joy I had in watching this video. I used to own one of these Honda's. I purchased one when I lived in LA 1991. When I purchased this car it was just a few years old, but it looked brand, spankin' news. Man, how I loved that car! When I moved back to NY, I drove it across the country in just 4-days!
    But, sadly enough, that's when I lost the car. It started with one break in, then another break in, then it was vandalized and I finally just sold it because I didn't want to keep dumping money into repairs and glass replacements. Still, of all the cars that I owned, this one was one of my favorites. So, watching this restoration video was especially enjoyable for me! You do fantastic work, my friend.

    There's just something about these late 80s to late 90s Honda's that seems magical. Engineered with such attention to detail, yet simplistic enough to take apart. Every part had a purpose and was designed to be as easy to remove as it is to put on.
    That being said, your work and car is gorgeous. A true craftsman and artist.

    Wow, it came out amazing, not to mention going by the OEM+ route is in my opinion the best way to go when it comes to these 90's cars. Always had a soft spot for these generation of CRX's and Second Generation Eclipses since i was a kid, yet i always remember this gen's CRX everywhere back in highscool.
    In my opinion, 90's cars has always had a special charm that hasn't been able to be replicated with today's cars.

If I ever could go back I'd make it a point to buy one and learn to fix it (probably while still living at home when the value of money was relative). Great video, work and vehicle.

I worked the whole summer trying to make enough money for a down payment that never happened, but I sure wanted a honda. I bought my first Honda in 1999 and that's still my brand after 24 yrs.

    Mad mad props! That end result is sooooooo worth it, and huge W for keeping it mostly stock and preserving what the CRX was meant to be. I hope I can get a CRX one day.

    That is a god dang masterpiece brotha. I love old styles restored to modern standard. It really shows that styles were comparable or better than styles now. Personally LOVED the CRV, cute and trunk is very functional.

    This is such a love letter and beautiful restoration. My first car was an ‘89 CRX Si and I try to look for a good ‘90-91 every chance I get. I didn’t realize as I got older that I would be so nostalgic about these things and here I am at 35 wishing I could find one again. Thank you for this video - it’s really well done!

      No, thank you! I've watched this video at least a dozen times, and pick up something new every time. Your knowledge, skill, and passion absolutely come through in every frame. This should be essential viewing for anyone that is restoring their vehicle. Absolute perfection. Can't wait to see more of your work. Keep it up, sir.

    Wow, its been a long time coming. I’m enjoyed every episodes throughout the build. Glad you made a 30 minute restoration as a recap to show the unconditional love and sweat you put into this car. The next owner will be very lucky and im certain the car will sell in no time.

    These were some SWEET rides. The CRX was an awesome car from Honda. My neighbor had a baby blue one. If I could get my hands on one today, she would be my everyday ride. You did an an amazing job restoring this beauty. Your skills are indescribable. This video was absolutely mesmerizing. The amount of detail you put into the restoration is incredible. Thanks for sharing!!!!!

    It was a total pleasure to see this JDM classic properly restored like new. You are one of the few other people I have seen on TH-cam with the skills to do a full restoration like Mad4Motors does. Keep up the good work and I hope to see more JDM classics being restored.

    Before everything got big and stupid the CRX was the way. Worth fixing, worth enjoying. One of Honda's best. Ifyou can't have fun in a CRX, you're probably already dead.

    Man this brings me back to my teens. My grandmother used to have a CRX, and I didn't take it when she died because I was too busy screwing around with a Del Sol. This makes me regret not taking it when I had the chance. Great job on this one. Super clean. I'm vicariously living my rebuild dreams through you.

    Late 1980s and 1990s Hondas are beginning to be hot commodities and the new classic car collectable. Now that I am older and have money I would love to get another 1995 Acura Legend V6 5-speed manual like I had in the early 2000s. Best car I have ever owned and most fun I have ever driven.

    Such a masterpiece. Loved it when I had this vehicle. Best car I ever had no issues, always great on gas felt like I would get almost 50 miles per gallon. Was just an amazing car to learn how to drive stick with. Best car a single person could have back then and even now. Wish they would kept making these.

    Incredible restoration Seth. I had an immaculate black 1991 Crx Si back in the day and it's the one car that I wish I still had. This video brought back memories of when me and my wife were still dating, and we would do road trips in the "rex". Kudos
