All these other youtubers with immaculate units, brand new lifts and shiny rubber floors, yet you're there, car on bricks, no flashy equipment, putting out PROPER QUALITY videos and some of the best workmanship I've ever seen. This is some truly impressive stuff. Also, not having to wait 3 months to see one car seat installed is really refreshing. A whole car rebuild in one episode. Amazing
You can just say DONUT, LOL
That's why I don't skip to the end
I completely agree man I enjoyed every second of the restauration process and the fancy équipement would'nt make the video any better it's perfect as it is.
The valve cover is just awesome :) Well done.
indeed, for a moment I thought oh no it's not the red crackling finish........but so glad i was wrong.
It does look great but at first I thought it was going to be naked (no paint) - I love that look too.
Awesome indeed!
Yes back to original red! Thanks
1 car, 1 restoration. All in 1 video!! No part 2 and no unnecessary commentary. I love this! Subscription earned👌🏽
What type of degree or experience do you have to just do this
I was seriously drooling at every second of this video. Your skills are god-hand. Absolutely the most incredible single-handed restoration I've ever seen in my life! I wish I had 1/10th of 1% of your talent!
Same.
So a car build which usually takes 20 episodes over a year has been done on 1 episode in 23 mins!!! That's why they say "You'll Never Beat The Irish"!!!! Amazing stuff, quality of videos is better than quantity!! Amazing work.
Yes! Thank you man
💯
Guy’s a legend.
@@Mad4Motors_ hey awesome work you did to this man; I'm a car(honda) enthusiast myself, did you go to school for this ?
Hope you don't mind me asking but how many hours went into the build?
Pulling that badge out towards the end was epic. As if a lost treasure finally found a home. Great video!! ✌🏻😎
it was like a dream finally became a reality
nice
@@TRUMPKILLA lol that’s how you end up a hoarder
@@TRUMPKILLA Brits can never afford to send them to scrapping site. All so broke and poor. 20 years from now it will be full of poor brits restoring tuktuk's. 50 years from now they go back to grass diet.
some Indiana Jones sh*t going on there.
Literally such a beautiful car, thank you for restoring her. Those late 90's civics have a special place in my heart
I had a 1994 Honda Civic EX sedan in college with a few minor mods.... air intake, cat-back exhaust, 17" rims.... she wasnt gonna win any races, but it was fun to drive. This really takes me back to those days. Awesome job!
Well done saving this car. I personally imported a 1997 black EK9 from Japan to UK back in 1999/2000.
Think it was the first black one in the UK at the time. Reg was R690 KVV. Cost me close to £14k by the time I got it on the road. A lot of money for a car like that back then. Absolutely loved it. Eventually sold it to a young US serviceman from Molesworth airbase. He had it a few years then sold it back to one of my best mates. He kept it for a few years then sold it to a lad from Ireland who took it back there. Don’t know what happened to it after that but hopefully its still about.
I’ve had loads of cars since then but the EK9 is still one of my favourites. Amazed at the prices they command these days.
Looks like it got exported around 2006-2007
I got a 92 dx manual for 200 bucks
Yes probably about somewhere here parked in a shed! Thanks for watching!
This really puts into perspective how challenging, yet fulfilling, rebuilding a dying car is. Great job!!
Yep, did the same with a 1996 VW Golf 3 Cabrio with a "rare" engine for the cabrio, the 1Z TDI. Best engine i ever had in a car and probably will have.
Mind is blown once again. Kudos.
His kids are so lucky. The things they are going to learn and the skills they are going to acquire are priceless.
Truly appreciate watching this restoration, thanks for your time and your commitment to bringing her back to life.
You removing that Logo from its shelf storage, cobwebs and all then pristinely placing unto the front of the car is like an adventurer finding a rare artifact from an ancient ruin then carefully placing it, thus making the restoration complete! Awesome video and excellent work you have done!
It’s like a gearheads version of Indiana Jones.
I was expecting light and sparkles to shoot out once you mounted it, lol.
Damn... he seems to know pretty well what he's doing! I'm always impressed by people who do ANYTHING on their own. And a bit jealous. Great job, great great job!
im super jealous of how he can just take the whole thing apart and put it right back together
HELPS TO HAVE A GARAGE...DANG...NOBODY DOES THIS KIND OF QUALITY WORK IM THEIR DRIVEWAY...POSSIBLE...BUT NAH...
@@bigsparky8888 I have a garage with all the equipment, I couldn't do this, maybe one day😁

dont forget he got help!! i can count 2 little dude which is clearly vital part of the crew.
Молодец!!! Приятно смотреть на такую работу!!!! Как всегда супер!!!
Deepest respects for this amount of dedication! Awesome restoration 👍
One of my favorite parts was when he pulled the emblem off the window sill out of the Cobb webs still new in the package, you know this car has been his dream, and he finally got to build and finish it, props to you on your build!!
Pulling that off the shelf must have been partially emotional.
@@paulbhager , for sure...
Those are spider webs bruh
My very same thought. I'm like well shit I have one too but I don't have a ctr yet😂😂😂😂

Fantastic job man. Looks great!

@Mikey I want it I’m In KCMO
@Mikey hatch?
Content creators like him are the only reason I still watch CZcams. Great build. Keep um coming
Such fantastic workmanship covering every aspect of a quality rebuild. You are truly one of a kind! Thanks for sharing this experience.
I'm not much of a car guy or a honda fanboy but this was a superb bit of work. From the skill, knowledge, and determination to do all this, to the tasteful revival of a classic car. I love that you didn't go mad and basically just put it back together. Took off that awful wrap job, painted it a lovely white, refreshed everything, and left it as a pure job well done. Massive respect and thanks.
It always makes me feel good to see a classic car like this Honda Civic Type R restored to its former glory.
God bless you sir for saving this beautiful EK9 Type R. I've been wanting to own one of these my entire life. The closest I got was an EG6 with an Integra Type R engine and transmission. It was my favorite car that I've ever owned. Perfectly reliable and quick for what it was. I owned it and took great care of it for over 10 years and never let it get a single spot of rust. I never put a turbocharger or supercharger on it, so the best I was able to get was 180 horsepower at the wheels in N/A trim after some bolt on performance parts and weight savings. Still, it was great power for such a light car. I still miss that car to this day. The guy I sold it to for $6,000 ruined it in less than a month. First thing he did was rip the engine out to sell it and get most of his money back, and he put in a $400 B20 engine from a CRV. I think he meant to do a B20 Vtec with a B16 head, but it never happened. He tried to drive the car throughout the winter and quickly wrecked it in less than a month. It really upset me to see the car completely ruined in under 30 days after I spent over 10 years taking good care of it, swapping in the B18c and LSD transmission, upgrading the intake manifold to the Skunk 2 Ultra with port matched 67mm throttle body, all new hasport motor and transmission mounts, whiteline sway bars and end links, 5 lug conversion with brand new hubs and brakes front and rear from an Integra Type R, body work and new paint when I first got it, 2.75 inch exhaust from the headers back. I had the car tuned on a hondata S300 I had installed into the P28 Computer. You did a wonderful job restoring your rescued EK Civic Type R. I'm glad it was you that found it and saved it from becoming complete piece of scrap to be crushed. Extremely good restoration.
Niiiiiice...I can only wish & watch these jobs...Nissan has a de stroked 2.0 to a 1.6 that puts out 175hp...8200rpm engine non turbo...I can only dream of an engine like that...WHEWEEEE...ZIPPY...
My friend had 2000 Civic Si with Type R JDM engine/tranny swap supercharged, plus suspension, brakes, etc. Used it as track car. Then someone else bought it and crashed it. It was stinking fast.
I know a Ph.D in physics and acoustics man, who still owns his track ready turbocharged Acura Type R - it's pretty much mint, accept for the track mileage. They even welded custom full exhaust based on program for Nascar cars. He also owns the original NSX.
I had two EG6s: a 1992 SiR II and a 1991 SiR. I've also owned a 2001 Integra Type R (DC5 model) and a 1997 Civic Type R. I currently own a 1996 Integra Type R (DB8). I love my DB8, but an EG6 with an ITR B18C swap is like my dream car. I will always have a soft spot for the EG6; and honestly, none of the Type Rs I have owned have ever resonated with me the way the EG6 has.
I worked for honda for over 13 years and I can say you do some great work. I have had a lot of different honda models and I really enjoy the ones you have worked on and transformed them back to basically new. Keep it up!
Total RESPECT 😮 Bravo c’est MAGNIFIQUE !
So satisfying to see the previous owners' sins being undone bit by bit. Also, you didn't cheap out on any of the trim bits, some of them cost a fortune by now. Hats off to you!
Honestly the car looks like it was likely stolen and gutted
@@ErectileSceptile what good would it be to restore a car with a stolen Vin
Hey means a lot. thanks
This was the best 23 mins of my life. Thanks for the video man this was awesome. I can tell you busted your ass.
Dude you stole my username ;( btw my dad used to own an ek9 so how insane is that we watching the same vid with almost same name
@@chilledkiwi4012That’s an insane coincidence considering how many people would even notice the name!
And it went by so quickly!
I agree. Awesome...
I'll 2nd that!!! Nice!!!
One of the best restoration videos I have ever seen!
Thanks for the excellent editing and attention to detail ❤
Thank you for not dragging this out. Great work
I'm speechless, for one at how whoever owned this legend could treat it the way it was treated, but mainly because of the simply incredible job you did at restoring it pretty much from 0-100! Incredible, I wouldn't hesitate a second to own this!
it was probably stolen, gutted and dumped somewhere.
@@fernank017 Good theory!
@Mikey this isn't craigslist my dude
@Mikey probably. There’s only one way to know.
i think the ruined fender and lamp, and the spare tire mounted underneath pretty much explains it all
He is the best restoration artist I've seen so far. He does everything by himself in his garage!! Love his two great assistants too.
This guy is phenomenal, I could watch these restorations all day
This man has some of the cleanest builds! Just mind blowing the level of skills this man has.
Frankly, I’m speechless. This is one of the most incredible car restoration videos I’ve ever seen.
This one video was better quality and more relatable than 100% of all mainstream gearhead channels.
Still slow
@@AngelValdovinos that fact that you’d post “still slow” on a video of this caliber just shows how pathetic your mentality is. This is a fantastic transformation of a Type R that would otherwise be scrapped. This man put in countless hours and you take 5 seconds to bash him. Shame on you.
Thank you for watching and the comments👍
czcams.com/video/KDp5bqz8p-c/video.html
This was pure raw material and no mainstream crap. A joy to watch. Please don't change it.
Hey thanks for the nice comments .Thank you👍
I work for a Honda/Acura dealership here in Boulder Co and I love seeing restorations like this come into our shops. Bravo on this build bro. Bravo
That white looks so much better than that black vinyl. And the fact he managed to fit the restoration into one video makes this channel one of the best on CZcams. Keep up the good work, mate!
Wow! That is one unreal transformation. 99.99% of specialists wouldn't have gone near that challenge with a barge pole but you took it on without a bother. Is this a hobby or is it a full time gig? You're gifted!
Yes but one I enjoyed!, thanks for watching!
I’ve never watched a video where it’s one guy doing all the work, especially to that level of perfection. Awesome job and I hope you made a ton of money when you sold it!

Dude you absolutely nailed this one. Perfect!!!!
He makes all that hard work look so easy, that must be what it’s like when you enjoy what your doing. I just found these vids on you tube, now I’m hooked. Great job.
Welcome aboard!
Fair play. Most channels would've spread this build over many months and episodes. You deserve the view count alone for sticking it all in one video let alone the grind you put into the car. 🙌🏼🙌🏼
I have been watching your stuff, the level of your craftwork is beyond limits. All done with just basic tools, no fancy lifts and crazy toolboxes.
As a father myself, seeing you working with your boys makes me very happy. Great build my friend!
I actually can’t put into words how insane this rebuild was to watch. The absolute eye for detail and effort this must of taken is really impressive mate. I really found this video inspiring. Great work buddy.
*Must’ve
I’m not mechanically minded myself, but I love watching this kind of thing. Much respect to you for bringing it back to its former glory!
Anyone can be mechanically inclined brother if i gotta be honest with you what mostly all mechanics do is wing it until it goes right
Koe pancen CZcams'er restorasi montor paling jos,paling sangar,paling sip. jempol gawe koe👍👍👍👍👍👍
I'm going thru all of your videos one by one and WOW!!!!! it's amazing how you bring life back into these neglected cars. Throttle down from Chicago ✌️
I love how he gets his kids involved that’s a good father right there 💯‼️
Except for the fact that he spends all his time restoring cars and not paying attention to his kids😮
It’s sad that someone would let a car like this fall into that kind of condition. Glad to see it’s brought back to its glory
15 years ago these were dirt cheap in Ireland...
سلام من بیتا عسلی هستم
Yes back to the way it should be, thanks 👍
No waffling, straight to the point. Love it😎
As an owner of 2x 1988 honda preludes, I love seeing old cars get restored, excellent job mate!
Civic Type-R is one of my favorite cars, no matter the year. What you did with this one, was pure art. It's so good to see people with the know how, restoring "old" things that should be kept in good shape. 80's and 90's in my opinion were the best decades for car lovers and enthusiast, shame people that had one of these, in most cases don't give them the value they deserve in my opinion, they end like the one you restored.
Last thing, you did all that without a lift, which would surely help a lot, my respect to you man.
It no doubt made a lot of Honda Civic Type R enthusiasts in the United States happy when Honda decided to start selling the Type R here in the United States in 2017.
He is an artist!
I'm definitely not a import guy but the amount of skill, time and love that went into bringing this car back to showroom quality is excellent! Very nice!
Yeah well as Ireland doesnt make cars, everything is import 🙂
Ditto!
‘’I’m definitely not *an import guy’’ yeah nobody watching this video friggin cares
@@rfn110n tf is your problem 😂
Honda Civic makes your import list, what would make domestic - chevy volt/Ford Focus? From United Kingdom.
Just stunning. I’ve watched a lot of his restorations and they are incredible.
Therapeutic, and thoroughly excellent video, from one Irish honda fan to another, I am in awe of your methodical methods, you are a very talented lad.
Even tho I can see the video, it is difficult to comprehend how it is possible to restore such a neglected vehicle. Amazing and brilliant. The talent, problem solving and will power it must take to create what is now a piece of drivable art is above next level. I hope one day this car might find its way into a museum. Bravo.
You need to really push to get these projects done almost like on autopilot everyday! Thanks for taking the time to watch it 👍
First of all, Your a wizard. I Couldn't even imagine the finished products quality. Secondly this was a complete story in one video which is rare you on CZcams. Are you keeping it?
Yes definitely, thank you for watching
When you opened the hood, the first thing that went though my head was, the engine is transparent.
The Honda Gods have blessed you. You're doing gods work. Thank you for another amazing video.
Absolutely unbelievable work !!
I love how you involved your kids in the restoration. Some people would argue that’s not useful to them but I believe most of the viewers will agree that this was quality time spent with them doing something that you love
Gotta start somewhere! Im having a boy in April and I definitely plan to include him in things like this as he grows. I never had a father to do this kind of thing with so I wanna change that.
@@bagelbytes69420 good plan
I was never interested in cars as a child but my younger brother was. He always helped dad with cars as a child and now he's got his own garage and car dealership. As for me, I'm using my college degree to wipe my butttt.
Can't leave old hondas to rot well worth the effort love japanese car's and bikes got a mk6 civic 👍

Thank you for giving an old, almost ready for the scrapyard car a new lease of life which it rightfully deserves, instead of being abandoned and neglected. And what an amazing job watching it transform!
If this civic could speak, it would thank you from the bottom of its heart I'd imagine.
U mean the bottom end of its engine 😆
Thank you for you comment man 👍👍

This is the most satisfying restoration video I've seen , totally back to original , all done by your own hands. You are an Inspiration 👌

The respect I have for you is endless, this is the knowledge I wish school could teach and it’s amazing how you restored it which most would have put to the junk yard, I’m giving a subscribe for this👌
School 🤣
School has been proved obsolete for the last 25 years as internet and self education is so easy and free of charge schools are only there for compulsory brain washing to create good slaves because teaching children to become good factory workers has proven obsolete as well since that's no longer the economy we have.

Looks fantastic! Thanks for not dragging this out over 3-5 videos like so many other CZcamsrs. This was so much more enjoyable to watch in a single, longer video.
you are doing gods work. we need more people in the world like you mate. I had a VTi-S about 15 years ago. best car I have ever owned.
I watch your restoration videos repeatedly because you’ve motivated me to go to college to learn about cars. I plan to build cars like you one day.

I just love how he pays attention to every single detail on the car.... Wish I could get trained on how to rebuild a car from this expert.. Absolutely credible. Best in the world 🌍
This is just absolute class. What a great video. Found it by pure chance and have since subbed and binge watched the lot! Brilliant workmanship. I salute you sir!
Nice! Thanks for watching 👍
You have mad skills for days! Wow! Ty for sharing with us.
Not a Honda guy at all but I can truly appreciate all the work and effort this was, absolutely gorgeous
The end result was absolutely epic, not just proper filmed but the location near to that lake with lots of swans looking at it !!!
I have always wanted one of these put can never afford one so it is nice to see them still being brought back to life.
Hey thanks!
Gracias por restaurar esos autos bro! God Bless You!
Absolutely amazing work
Man knows how to take care the engine, body repair, and the interior. This guy must be a legendary carguy
This is insane, mad props and thank you for keeping another ek9 alive and on the road. We need to cherish these
Amazing work! You gave new life for this little Civic!
The thing I love most about your restorations is that you do a really nice job, without being a perfectionist. A "good enough" job - and I mean that as a compliment. It reminds me that restoring my 98 hatcback is an attainable goal if I just want it to look good and enjoyavle again, without the expense and time of a "perfect" restoration. Love it man, thank you!
Incredible work! Thank you so much for 1) Saving this neglected EK9 and 2) Sharing the process with us. I’ve got a neglected 89 Civic in the garage and this has given me the motivation to get started again. Top job! 🙏
This was one of the best restorations done! You literally brought back a Gem! And in your own garage! Nice job
Yes! thanks for watching!
Realmente motivacional 🙏🏽
Admiro mucho tu trabajo este video lo he visto como 100 veces y no enfada volverlo a ver sigue así y no te detengas 👊🏼
Another gem restored!
This was amazing. I could only wish to have a fraction of the time, talent, and knowledge that this guy has to not only accomplish an amazing project like this, but make a great you-tube video about it as well. Nice job
You'll be amazed what you can do the more you do something, everything comes from experience. You're absolutely right about something the "time". I have a evo 8 with a blown fp black turbo sitting in my garage for almost a year waiting on parts to come in. Now that I have everything to complete the job, I need to finish my garage to setup a 9 piece cabinet set so I can work on the evo comfortably, but have very little time.
That's honestly just beautiful, the effort and craftsmanship that went into this is phenomenal. Fantastic work my man, I understand things like these take a lot of time and resources to finish and it came out sick!
Goku doesnt like hondas dont have the power he wants
Yes some time and patience but worth it, thanks for the watch
Absolutely beautiful. That is a hell of a lot of love you showed.
So glad I found your channel. Absolute gold. And the fact you got love for Japanese engines.
So glad to see someone save such a rare, and important car. Thank you for sharing the restoration process with us, very therapeutic to watch. I see so many Honda's here in the US getting parted out every day. Enjoy the fruits of your labor!
Absolutely beautiful. For any car fanatics, this is it. The careful restoration of a car from times past ♥️

So clean!! I miss the days of cars like that! Wish I could find one here!
Damn I wish we just had Type Rs sitting in fields here in the US! I don't know who ruined it initially but mad props to you for returning it to its former glory! Beautiful build!
Yes definitely more common here than in the US but still quiet rare, (1 in the country for sale currently) Thanks for watching
Awesome build. Every time you were doing something I was like, "I hope he does the ____ too." And then you did. So happy to see you take the time to do little details like redoing the valve cover, and restoring the headlights. The entire project was a great watch.
These restoration videos are brilliant. The smaller videos are great too! Keep them coming :)
Beautifully done
