I enjoyed these and all your videos. Fixing these vehicles is a very "green" thing to do. I hope that doesn't trigger anyone. Well maybe I do. ;) This Honda is still better than riding the bus or mooching rides. Thanks Scott
Nah, those experts will still tell me I should be giving away a Lamborghini. The next video might keep them quiet when they find out that I didn’t make nearly as much on the videos as I spent on the car.
@@vehcor Eh forget the haters...a Honda Civic is literally one of the best cars one can give away...they are incredibly reliable (if taken care of obviously) and are dirt cheap to run on a daily basis. Seriously the best choice for a giveaway car and honestly....a family that could make good use of a sedan like this would be THRILLED to receive it.
I wish everyone took the care you do rebuilding vehicles. The roads would be a safer place. But NOBODY can match the humor and witt. Stay safe and be well! Thanks for sharing
Once upon a time it wasn’t always about the money. Sadly today everyone seems to be about how much can I make with the least amount of effort. Thanks for the support!
@@vehcor tue easy button runs rampid. I teach all my HVAC apprenticeship 2 things Careand effort.. if they don't wanna do those 2 things stay home and find another job! Again I appericiate all you let us be a fly on the wall for.
Whoever gets it should appreciate it and use it for what it needs to be used for it'd be nice to see a real update on the car a year to down the road for your generosity
Scott, the true mark of a craftsman is that you make this look easy. It certainly is not! Thanks for the quality content and the kindness to somone who surly needs it
Brother I’m a disabled veteran and all I do all day long is watch you on RUclips. You make a long day more enjoyable. Your sense of humor is awesome. Thanks for making my days better.
Scott just wanted to say, I really appreciate your channel and all you do. I like the way you Do Not put up with haters and cry babies. Thanks for being you and staying that way.
Best builds on the Tube, net, garage or wherever! Scott shows us how it's done....The Right Way! Keep up the Great work Scott and Thanks for tolerating us!!!!!!
15:50 I don't know.. I think my Chevy 350 is pretty easy. Two bolts hold the water neck on the intake manifold. It's easy to access and easy to replace..
If I was buying a rebuilt vehicle, this is the kinda guy I want to buy from. It's all on video so it's not like he's hiding anything. Plus he actually fixes things. He may not clean them, but he at least puts on good parts properly.
Scott, you are a shining light in the "land of corruption and rust." Thanks for the great content. Also thanks to the Pizza Girl and the Afternoon Crew for their contributions.
This channel is so satisfying... first, you always learn something from Dr. Scott-- whether you want to or not. Second, you always get a laugh from comedian Scott. He is a funny guy! Third, you usually get a warm spot in your heart knowing that philanthropist Scott is going to make someone happy with a good vehicle. What other channel gives you all that goodness in one neat package? Thanks, Scott... your content is worth every penny that I pay for it!
"It would be very difficult to screw it up, but I have complete confidence that it has been done before." That falls in line with my personal motto. If it can be done wrong, I can do it! Don't look at me like that. I usually got it right the second or third time around and before the customer got it back....usually.
Really enjoy watching your channel, my boss thinks I’m crazy watching car repair channels after working on cars all day, guess I just like cars and trucks still!
Hats of to you Sir, Thanks for making someone happy with that car, we need more people like you, it would be a much better place. By the way thanks for teaching me, always wonder about body work, now thanks to you am sure I dont like that, better just keep fixing engines
Scott, I don't wanna be called a tool expert but for those frozen lock cylinders, I've been told to always use graphite spray on locks, seemed to require a lot less effort to free them up and it kept my locks free for a lot longer than when I used penetrating oil. I'm guessing you know this but the penetrating oil was closer :') It's so nice you're making sure even a giveaway car will actually be properly good, kudos!
Excellent content, I have been watching for years now, and you never disappoint Scott! I sure could use this little Honda down at my place in Las Vegas. Hoping to become a winner!!
15:36 Nope, the easiest stat to change is the 80's Tech 4 ( iron duke ) in a small front drive GM, this has a cap you unscrew the pull the stat out. Don't even need to drain coolant.
Had the same problem with my civic (trunk lock frozen up). What I did was open the lid all the way and then pour the penetrating oil into it. The problem fixed itself..
Great Job Scott! Love little Honda's... nice little cars. The work you do is outstanding and appreciated. I'm sure the person that gets the car will be getting a nice, reliable vehicle!
You might wanna revisit your comment Scott about when you said since it's made in China doesn't fit well. I believe Chinese made parts and products have come a long way to compete any JDM or OEM parts. They might not be 100 percent but they nearly do the job 100 percent. The wiper arms and blades you replaced are aftermarket not JDM. Last but not least the version you're working on is Dx not Lx as you mentioned. Reason I say this because I drive a similar 09 Civic Lx here in Canada 🇨🇦. It comes with all four wheels disc brakes. Dx version comes with rear drum brakes like are working on. Also the Lx version has no key hole trunk open. It opens from inside the car through a cable pull. Dx version has a keyhole open lock. Just my opinion from Canada 🇨🇦. Greatly appreciate your giveaway project. Job well done indeed 👍.
15:37 and I can CERTAINLY vouch for that! Had to swap one on my Buick Lucerne because it threw a P0128 about a month after I bought it. 23:09 and THIS is why whenever you get new tires installed, you ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS change the service pack! (A Service Pack is a new nut, gasket, valve core, and valve cap; some service packs also come with a brand aluminum new valve stem if the sensor is a separate piece from the valve stem) Because I bet the nut was basically welded to the valve stem by corrosion!
This wholevproject is so honourable Scott. You are a true gentleman, and whoever gets this will be mindblown. Pizza girl should actually turn up with pizzas for the hand over too I think. Best wishes for you, the gnomes and PG from the UK.
Hi Scott! This is a pretty awesome thing you're doing for someone. There are some obvious trolls hiding in their moms basement, why not just throw out the turd comments? Trust me, the fans of your work and channel would be ok with it!LOL!
A little over 20 years ago I was having Valvoline rapid oil change to my oil changes. I had a 96 GMC Jimmy it was 97 and I had less than 35,000 miles on it. I was pulling into work, not going fast, and my right front dropped and there was that. horrible screeching sound. Of course it was the lower ball joint. I had it towed to the nearest Chev dealer which was less than a mile away. They said all the ball joints were dry. I went back to Valvoline and they wouldn't pay as I had taken it to a dealer.
18:02 oh man I was laughing at you with the wiper package....been there done that! and it's worse when you're doing it at night in the parts place parking lot in the middle of a rain storm and you couldn't trade a kidney for a sharp instrument lol....
Great job Scott. You are doing a great thing with this give away. I hope you ever gets it needs it and really looks after it. We will keep it a secret that you are actually a great guy lol.

It’s crazy how I’m watching this video after just crashing my jdm civic like 1 hour ago lol good luck to whoever gets it cause I would love to build another one
I've been told and used aluminum and mag polish for "restoring" headlights. Have you ever tried that and feel it works better, worse or basically the same as the cutting and polish compounds you used on this?
Vendor that car is exactly what I'm looking for. I'm 72 years old, with back trouble, I live in Louisiana. I have a 2005 Honda CR‐V 265,000 miles, it came Taxes and NO rust to space of, it has short somewhere around the ABS or VSA. And I think the CVs are going bad also?
