@@kac5318 I have no idea actually. Can’t see any name on it. If I were to do it again I would consider a metal one. This one doesn’t hold paint on too well after a while and it has some ridges that stick up on the bottom that can hurt your feet.

@@rhinely850 good to hear there are still some of these out there. Just had a weird misfire issue with mine. Did normal tune up stuff and treated the field and it’s running great again. Also just put a new pto clutch on it because the old one was getting very sloppy and noisy. Otherwise it’s still going strong. Mine still only has about 600hrs on it. Best machine I could ask for for the $3,500 or so I paid for it used!

Me too. Got get the cab off and cut 12” out of my frame. already cut 8 off the back. Making it a short bed.

I mean, honestly, it would probably be not much more if any more expensive to just rebuild your engine, depending on what is wrong with it or find another good engine out of the same exact van to swap into yours. Would be so much simpler and easier to just put back in the same engine that came out of it. By the time you buy everything else you need to put a different engine in it. I don’t think you would be saving yourself any money and would be way more headache. This engine I found for our van had only 74,000 miles on it and came out of a direct one. we have been driving for several years now and just drove it all the way from Missouri to Florida for vacation a few weeks ago and it has been great. I think I only paid about $1300 for this engine and it was a direct swap obviously went ahead and did a new timing, water pump, and all that stuff while it was out. Unless you are wanting to build something cool for a specific reason at the end of the day it’s just a minivan. I would say keep it simple for yourself.

14ft. I went that high because I built a 400sq ft loft hangout entertainment area. I have a newer video of my red 65 c10 where I do a walk around video of the shop at the end and I have a full build breakdown video I have almost done I just need to finish editing that tells all the details and breaks it down by cost. Spoils have had that video done by now but work has been keeping me crazy busy.

Never really considered it cause it’s our family car and I was just focused on finding the same compatible engine to get it back on the road as quickly and simple as possible. J37 may have fit but would have likely needed a different ecu, possibly different mounts, different sensor harness, possibly not compatible with our transmission either. Why go through all that trouble for my wife’s daily driver and family hauler plus all the extra money?

Makes sense. Good job, dude!

@@sebestiensoliz8831 thanks. Been driving it for 4yrs now and about to take it on a 12hr trip next week. She’s still doing great!

Yeah unfortunately I sold the car a couple years ago before he was really old enough. I’m building something different now more suited for my kids to jump in and ride more often.

Yes 40x50. It’s actually not all one pad. They poured the porch as a separate pad and sloped it out, but you are correct. It’s taking me a long time, but I’m trying to finish editing the video where I go over all the details of the bill, including costs of everything. Hopefully in the next couple weeks at least I will have that video out if that is something you are interested in. It will likely be at least a 20 minute long video, but I will also have an easy breakdown of total price you can skip to if you don’t want to listen to all the details. Also, if you look at one of my more recent videos about my red truck, you will see the inside of the shop. Looks nothing like it did in this video. Much has changed.

I actually sold the car 2 years ago. It was time to move on and try something different. Built my dream shop and now I’m building a 65 bagged c10 short bed. I do wish I could have kept it and do a new build. The guy that bought it has done some nice upgrades but it has never been boosted.

Thank you!

Thanks man I appreciate it. Good luck with your build. Feel free to reach out but it’s been almost 10yrs since I finished that car and I sold it a couple years ago. I’ve forgotten probably half of what I did to it now but if I can help I will.

Well done. If you like these cars I think you’ll like this video showing the whole build of my car from day 1. ruclips.net/video/jCQ-DfzxIiY/видео.htmlsi=kIO9kmmIfgkDfw_5

I saw it. Looks great! I’m trying to get a CRX group started here in Central California where I live. So far, I’ve only found two others.

Thanks for the comment. Glad you liked it. We have done it twice but haven’t had enough snow to do it for probably 2yrs now unfortunately.

Thanks for the feedback. Glad it helped!

I wanted to paint mine that color by one of my best friends had a CRX that color and I didn’t want to copy. He still has his in a storage shed.

Thanks man! Yeah we love the kid so much. So thankful to have it! Got the bed off and sold and sweet patina frame paint on the way. Making progress!!

Thanks dude good to hear from you. I like making nicer quality videos but I wish quality of the videos translated to more views. It’s a lot of work and it’s exhausting trying to work and film so I get burnt out which is why I go periods without releasing videos. Also been super busy getting my shop built the way I want before I get started on this truck build. Thanks for still being a loyal subscriber! You got any videos coming out or what have you been up to?

@@diversedad7954 I completely understand you I guess just gotta keep it as a hobby and man I wish I could make more videos but I just don’t drive the Crx as much I got my commercial license and I just don’t wanna risk it

I understand that. That's one thing I'm looking forward to with a low slow truck. Still really fun to go out cruising and go to car events but no temptations to do fast risky driving. The most trouble I may get in is doing burnouts lol. I had lots of time driving cars and motorcycles fast. Time to enjoy something different.

I’m open to criticism, I’m not a mechanic. I’m just a guy that does all my own maintenance including putting a new motor in this van 2 years ago. I’m just trying to share little things to make it easier for guys like me just trying to maintain their cars. Your comment doesn’t add anything of value to anyone. I’m open to hear what I did wrong in order to help others. Only thing I would add is it’s easier to just dump fluid down the dipstick tube which works fine but technically isn’t the fill hole.

Yes. They even make it up to sizes big enough to do coolant lines and things. Hot rodders have been using the stuff for years.

You shouldn’t limit yourself to being just a “Muscle car guy”. I own a 65 and 66 c10 pickups I’m building right now. I appreciate lots of things about lots of different cars. Btw I did a 20 minute professionally about documentary on the entire build of this car if you check out my channel. I think you’d really enjoy it.

@@diversedad7954 I'll have to check that out. I can appreciate almost everything automotive/motorsports related. We actually owned two different Honda Fit Sports that served as our main family vehicle when our kids were small. Those cars reminded me a lot of how I enjoyed the CRX's.

@@musclecarcamaroman9092 here is a link to the full build video of the CRX. ruclips.net/video/jCQ-DfzxIiY/видео.htmlsi=9gh-nS3sARtUGCbh

As long as the weather conditions permit, you could definitely stop one day and continue another. It actually holds itself up pretty sturdy once you start getting the bricks packed in together pretty tight.

@@diversedad7954 thank you!

It was just standard b series shift linkage and the shifter knob in the car was from a da Integra I believe. It was in the car years ago when I bought it. I switched out to an aftermarket one that looked nicer but went back to the oem Integra one cause I just liked the feel and more of an oem look.

I know the feeling lol. I just saw a super nice clean completely stock del Sol in a really nice neighborhood the other day which made me really happy to see in a neighborhood full of super fancy new cars lol. I definitely like the CRX platform better but the Dell sol is pretty cool and just about as hard to find as a clean CRX these days. Especially the VTEC model.

You’re right. I went against all my better judgement because I couldn’t find what I wanted locally and let my emotions take over. I knew better and screwed up. Just sharing mistakes so others don’t make the sane. Ended up finding a pretty much brand new 2017 mid sized unit with only 150hrs on it. Had it for a year and it’s been flawless.

No I sold it 2 yrs ago after I bought my 66 c10 to build and wanted to build my shop. It’s about 2hrs from me in good hands. I do miss it.

Thanks. It's an old farm truck now but I'm gonna throw a whole Lotta "cool" at it over the winter.
