- Another couple of weeks worth of work done on the crx so you know what that means... Its time for another episode. This time I have concentrated all of my efforts into getting the shell totally rust free and coated so that its protected from any rust forming for hopefully many many years.

Restoration Of An 80's Icon - Honda CR-X - Part 4
Hands down the craziest restoration on any car channel on CZcams next to the 240Z. Staggering how well this CRX turning out!!
Thank you :)
Totally agree
Casually drops a 20 minute video of about 3 weeks worth of solid work. I was skeptical of the whole CRX resto, but I’ve been thoroughly enjoying these. Incredible transformation. If I had a critique it’d only be that I wish the videos were a little longer. Cheers! Great job as always.
Thank you so much really glad to hear that you are enjoying the series :) I'll do my best to beef up the run time ;)
Its the late afternoon in Johannesburg, South Africa and I commend and praise you to the heavens for your craftsmanship, attention to detail and dedication to your craft brother. If every technician had the mentality you have, we would be so much closer to a perfect world my good Sir...
Hallo mede Suid-Afrikaner, ek is oorspronklik van Pretoria.
@@steveo7767 hoe gaan dit daar in Pretoria
Hi julle hier uit die Wes Kaap 😂
@@riaanvanniekerk8620they dont like us in the western cape yet they keep moving down 😂
Bit much but get your point lol 😅
Almost midnight in Australia here, perfect timing to chill out and watch this.
Nice, Enjoy :)
Same here in New Zealand
This is going to be better than brand new when finished, can't wait to see it!
Thank you you so much : )
I know people here in Denver that would pay 12k-15k US just for this video's end result prepped shell........... outrageous amount of quality work sets the bar insanely high and I can't wait for the next episode!
I love how you’re inching slowly, bit by bit towards the full face reveal!
Haha yeah im getting there
Mate watching these makes me smile this CRX was left for dead most people wouldn’t have tried to restore it and here you giving the little crx a second chance at life, i truly believe cars have a personality and soul and this little crx is grinning from ear to ear
Mate Ive said it before and Ill say it again. Yourself and MyMechanics are on another level of skill and detail. Between the CRX and the 240z you both are showing the best restoration work on youtube along with the best taste in cars! Cheers!
That was a very satisfying episode, that engine bay is going to look so good when the car is back together. Amazing attention to detail.
Really happy to hear you are enjoying the way its turning out :)
Thanks RRC…… it’s mostly watching paint dry…. but awesomely filmed and very entertaining. 👍
Glad you enjoyed it :)
Seeing you doing all these body works reminds my dad, he worked his entire life to basically use a hammer to fix the body metal, water sandind and painting. I believe he worked more than 60 years doing it. He didn't have many tools, we had a very humble past but he showed me how's hard work, only using basic tools and his arms, but surprisingly, resulting in an amazing job, we couldn't tell the difference from the original and the fixed part. Thanks for your videos, keep sending it to us please.
9pm here in Italy. Your knowledge and craftsmanship are huge as your restoration faith. You’re the omen, the one that cannot die.
I just admire your methodical + tenacious approach, no way could I do the same, I salute you sir!
8:37 The plastic chair doubling as scaffolding = peak Scottish engineering. 😅
The car's looking amazing!
Haha its the usual case of grab whatever is nearest to stand on haha .
A sense of rythym too. Is there no limit to the depth of this mans talents?
Thank you so much :)
Brilliant always. Cant imagine how tedious some of this process was but boy am i glad you did it.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it and yes indeed some of it was very tedious lol
Great to see the progress & under-floor reinforcements straightening, ALL my ED/EF Civic & CR-X's need those repairs. Too many clowns think they can lift the car there!
Must admit I now prefer to Epoxy Prime before filler, especially after removing a 'professionals' filler from the rear 1/4 of my '95 Civic with a paint scraper back to bare steel !
Two of my favorite channels busting out car restoration videos in the same week. Thank you for your hard work.
This car would outlast cockroaches in an apocalypse. Nicely done! Love the attention to detail.
As someone 4 years into a far less detailed project, these types of videos fill me with a lot of inspiration (and great product recommendations!)
正確な作業で素晴らしい。
昔、深夜に友人に乗せられてウロウロしたな〜。
You're understating things when you say good as new! Way beyond anything factory here! 🖤
Thank you so much :)
Watching this with a beer in hand on a friday night in australia. Doesnt get much better than this !!
Guy is genius. Master rebuilder
This is gonna be a 90's teen romcom level glow-up, overalls all the way to red dresses, looking great so far!
is the world ready for RRC restorations dude in a red dress?
Wow. You're a brave man painting it black - and very confident in your panel repair. Looking forward to seeing it. I havent seen a CRX on the road for years - they were everywhere once. Presumably the dreaded rust got to them like it nearly did to this one. Great video!
remember prepping and painting enine bays back in the day. Fingers are still sore!
I don't know how i missed part 3 of this build .... freaking CZcams man.... i have notifications set to all .... still missed it...
going back to see part 3 Be right back😂❤
These videos take me back to 1995. Having finished with uni, I took a job in the US, and brought a 1991 CRX HF; my first decent car (though it turns out the newest car I've ever had). The HF had the same 1.5 SOHC engine, but fuel injected, so even less power, but Honda gave it a 5-speed with high gearing, so it always felt a lot of fun. A lot of weight was stripped out of this car; crazy thin seats, rear seat delete (replaced by handy lockable storage, not even a parcel shelf, power nothing but it had an AC. When I returned to the UK (Belfast) I went looking to buy one, ended up looking at JDM models, ended up with a Eunos Roadster.
You'd be the man I'd want to do my 2012 Hyundai Veloster. It would be better than new, and I mean that, my friend. I find myself watching your videos from start to finsh, no fast forwarding like i do on some i watch. YOU ROCK BRO!!!
When I was in high school in the 90's I knew a kid with one of these and I always had to ride laying down in the back hatch area.
Dang, you're quick! I've been doing body work on my Saab for 9 months at this point, and we're just now ready to paint. Also, used Raptor coating on the bottom of mine as well - great stuff.
Wow, i got to say you're are not doing a half job. My way of doing things. By far the best car repair channel on youtube!
This little gem deserves a B16 engine, like the CRX I was fortunate enough to drive for a few months, back in the late '90s, had. What a joy to drive that was!
Love the quality and variety of work you do in whatever project you take on, Your attention to detail is great to see and all condensed down to 19 minutes when in reality there are days and days of hard graft . Respect from South West Scotland.
Had to wait till I got home to watch this, and definitely wasn't disappointed
I watch other 'restoration' channels on CZcams......none of them go as in depth as you do 👏🏼
Sarah-n-tuned goes pretty darn deep, give her channel a look too!
it's easy to get invested in your projects because i know they will actually be finished while i'm still living and that the end product will be extremely well done. thanks!
Just when I thought I didn't have anything to watch this evening ❤
I love your rotisserie,makes the job look so much easier
Just stumbled on this channel and my 10 month old son came running in the office and was hyper active but when I picked him up he started watching this video with me and he just got really quiet and I could see him just focusing and watching all of the steps you were taking on the body work. I'm gonna try this again later when it's time for him to go to bed.
Commenting for the algo.....but I'm also absolutely LOVING this series. And lets not get started on the camera work....its like I'm right there with you in the shop!
Excellent work mate. Keep it going!!!🎉
The shaking is so lovely, more dance is better.
You make it look so easy but there are many hours of work in what we just saw. Fantastic work as always, and samba moves as well! 😁👍
Every episode should have Raptor Liner Samba!!!
Haha love it.
Staggers me the time and effort you put into not only the restoration but the filming and editing too. Top channel. Always nice to see the next episode pop up on my feed.
Id say a lot of hours of work between the last video and this one. you've been cracking on
Can shaking was gold!
Please do a Q&A episode...I have many questions
Man that rotisserie is absolutely amazing lol, awesome video my friend!
Thank you :)
thanks buddy part 5 cant come soon enough cheers man
You're living the dream of any car maniac! 👏👏👏
Thank you :)
Love the dance moves with the underbody coat, very impressive
This isn't looking "good as new," this is improved by a lot with better rust proofing and modern paint. Amazing work thus far and I can't wait to see what you do in your next video.
Artist ! And the don of CZcams restoration channels
Liking this video before even seeing one second of it. I have so much respect of your work on this one. It's a LOT of work !! R E S P E C T !!
Thank you so much my friend 😀
Fantastic attention to details that aren't seen but matter 👌
Another great video 💜
I can only imagine how satisfying it feels to see the light at the end of the tunnel for your current project. Your voice is relaxing and your skill is masterful! Thank you for allowing us to be on this journey! 😊
Great video yet again. I'm always impressed with your attention to detail and patience.
The amount of work and the level of pride in craftsmanship are mind boggling 😮❤
Really loving this resto, these cars are so fun to drive. Glad to see the care that you’re giving it. Cheers from the States.
Couglin's diet: cocktails and dreams ! 🍹 in this case Raptor and Flint grey on the rocks! Looking awesome keep up the great work - I love this channel 👌🏼
Such a pleasure to watch a legend come back to life. Thank you very much for this.
Thank you for watching and leaving a comment.
Thanks for turning me on to Hydrate-80 in your last video
No problem at all ;)
35 grad Antalya Türkiye und ich schaue mir dein Video an .
Grandios 👍👍👍
proper job there my friend.great work!
Awesome, choice of ride, and effort put into this. Nice to see something different than the typical muscle car or vintage car. I loved the little CRX
This is how you do body work. No bullshit, just dirty, dusty and time consuming hard work.
Loving this series.
this one I cant wait. I had this car when I tur 18 and until now, it's my favorite car 35 years later.
These need to be longer!
I try to do a mix of lengths to keep everyone happy.
@@RRCRestoration Im not complaining, just over too quickly than it should be 😂
Love the progress! Very satisfying to watch all the hard work done to remove the rust and restore the body and frame back to new. Thank you for the inspiration to keep going on my own crx!
Thank you, cheers :)
my only jip is raptor liner is notorious in drying and cracking a few years down the line as it becmomes brittle. Gravitex is a rubber based version wich is flexible and lasts a good bit longer. Awsome job man
You don't even know how she inspired me with her videos, after the season I'm going to completely renovate my motorcycle, keep it up, I love your videos
This restoration is amazing and incredibly detailed. Some people would say "why take so much time and effort on a 30+ year old Honda?". These cars were iconic in the first year's of the JDM/tuner movement here in the US. I've always been partial to the CRX/Del Sol/EF Hatchback. Awesome job
I've just watched Mr. My Mechanics weighing his filler to dab on his Datsun, and I get you painting your black Raptor coat black 'coz it's the only way to do it right. What a time to be alive! How did I get to be so lucky and spoilt rotten? I always want your vids to carry on and not stop, or at least get released like, twice a week. But then the job would be over too quickly I guess. Bloody excellent so far Mr. RRC 👏👏👏. In fact it's a full on, two thumbs up, Mr. Burns style ehhhhxcellent 😁. 😎
I remember serving one of those - the year 1996 , on the ramp pulling wheels and doing a service
Another amazingly enjoyable video in the series. What a showcase of skills and patience. Love it
Yes, the underseling you did looks amazing
I saw the video upload yesterday on my feed. And thought, "I'm having the day off tomorrow. Time to unwind some with an RRC restauration". Jeej
That onion board! Here I am cleaning off a metal one every time like a fool. Lovely work as always. Thanks for sharing.
Oooo, goody! She's gonna start going back together.
Outstanding. Just finished a terrible afternoon shift and i find this gem to watch. ❤ thanks!!
Wow it's incredible how you make these cars and bikes look better than new. Keep videos coming 😊
Hard work really pays off. No short cuts with you. Thanks again for sharing take care. Be safe.
Brilliant to see your dedication and professionalism. Keep up the great work.
shaken not stirred...Perfect!
Brilliant, love the quality of work and pride in doing it right.
You are one of the best, you restore even the screws accordingly, meticulous, detail-oriented, and the restoration of the Honda VFR is unsurpassed, master of masters, greetings from Chile
8:40 Brave man! (standing on one of those old white plastic chairs)
I like to live dangerously ;) haha
Finally, I feel compelled to do the same 🤣 !
So nice to see another installment of the CRX restoration - each episode is a morsel to be savoured. Thanks for sharing!
The masking tape transition was smooth as especially with old yt chucking an ad perfectly in the middle lol
The depth and breadth of your skills; both mechanical and cosmetic, are easily the best I have ever seen.
UFR.
The attention to detail and shop habits are of particular notice...
So, yay!
Attention to detail is amazing I honestly look forward to all your videos CZcams doesn’t always notify me though but I check regularly
That is a LOT of hard work!!!
Tell me about it lol
Good to see the Blista Compact again.
A pure pleasure to watch a master at work. No blather like so many YT channels, just the real thing!
Thank you so much : )
Bodywork is not my prefered part in your restorations, but i can't miss a single episode!
whatever you preach, i'm listening!
CRX was always my dream car, this would be my dream project and car
Great work! I love it when I open CZcams and there is an RRC video waiting for me!
Brilliant production of high professional skills. Excellent.
