I went though the comments and you overwhelmingly want separate videos on how to fix each problem and restore the car. That series will start soon but for now, here is the next video: ruclips.net/video/oFX_Xq9WHTI/видео.html
Hey I've got a 98 mustang it's an automatic. I was wondering if you knew how I should fix my shifter. When I press the button in to take it out of park the shifter doesn't want to move until I press the button a lot harder.
@@RawLaughWorld It's all cinematics. He just wanted to protect the identity of the previous owner because people can get information about owner location based on the plate number.
I've been binge watching your videos for years. I recently bought a 2003 Silverado for relatively cheap and I just wanna say without your videos I would be lost. You're straight to the point and insanely descriptive. From power steering to battling rust on a vehicle that has been driving through New England winters for 20 years, I've been able to fix it because of your videos. So thank you man
@@somediud7365 but it's free. So he still helps others. He's not charging us on YT. He started for fun, then got big, mainly from the the Driftstang(I remember back then)
@@somediud7365 doesn’t that describe the intentions of everyone who works? Maybe you can live off of mommy and daddy, but adults have jobs and need money.
@@somediud7365 Well no shit he doesn’t work for free idiot, you get to watch free content and learn a lot. Believe it or not it’s hard work making content like this, all the editing and time you are dedicating to making videos that people would want to watch
Probably took the deal just because he wanted it gone you saw all the work it needed and he could buy a much nicer car with the money he would spend fixing that car completely
He sold it for $300 because the last 3 offers he got were for $150 and one guy offered to take it for free. It’s worthless. It needs more work than it’s worth. That’s why he gladly took $300.
I remember watching this when it came out. Since then I got my own $300 EJ8 and am pretty much following in your footsteps redoing EVERYTHING. Mine even had a cracked head too (wasn't aware for a while) Your video's were great years ago when i knew nothing and are still enjoyable and useful. Thanks chris you'll always be a major part of this community.
@@chrisfix got one from a local junkyard for like $45 with a year warranty so that was nothing compared to what i put into refreshing the rest of the car, and what i now have to put in to fix the rear toe adjustment/mount right behind where your rust hole was as its mangled beyond repair. Hopefully the frame shop doesn't screw me too hard lol. But being all stock and rebuilt with the exception of a rear swaybar and koni yellows it's gonna be well worth it.

I would actually like to see some more daily driver maintenance. Changing all fluids, tires, brakes, spark plugs and wires, drum rotors, interior audio, interior upgrades, fabric to leather seats, diagnosing and fixing ac and heating, as well as a few other issues someone using their daily driver may encounter. Thanks Chris and I love every video you create and find the simplest solutions without overwhelming tools and for not as much cash. Perfect for somebody that has no clue about cars and easy, inexpensive fixes that doesn't take a lot of time from your day. Keep up that inspiration and don't ever let go of that burning passion in your soul for cars.
My brother and I currently own 3 Del Sol’s and we love them. We’ve learned a ton about them, and I’m so excited to see what you’ll do with yours. Mine was $500 with different problems than yours, but we’re kinda in the same boat. Our first Del sol ended up getting destroyed when an 18 wheeler came across the highway and hit my brother. He’s fine now, and the car makes a great parts car for our other cars. But for a few suggestions, swap the shifter for a short shifter when you do the shift bushings. They’re around $6 online and they’re great. You’ll have to pull the shifter anyway, so you may as well replace it if the previous owner didn’t already. Make sure to do valve stem seals when you do the head gasket because every Sol burns oil until you do this. You’ll figure that out if you replace the head gasket and it still blows some smoke. Better to do it at the same time. Since you have the 1.5 liter, there isn’t much to do for power, so keep it mostly stock. Anything you do will just lower its great fuel economy. Paint the manifold heat shield and valve cover and it makes a world of difference. Clean all the grounds in the engine bay as well. The most important one is behind the engine to the left on a water neck I believe. Speaking of which. Silicone radiator hoses are a great upgrade for longevity and appearance for around $28. Something else you’ll encounter is the roof leak. If you can make a video on how to fix that, you’ll be an idol to the Del Sol community. Have fun with your Sol man, and keep up the good work!
There's something about his very friendly, easy to understand and cheerful step by step explanation... With no crappy music behind that makes it very inspiring to go fix a car.
I'd fix it and sell it back to the kid for the same price + parts. He seemed pretty bummed out at the end. He's obviously a fan, so why not celebrate 3 mil by giving back?
I grew up with Chris fix. i wanted to say thank you! i now work on all vehicles with no problem. I'm never uncomfortable and have a good foundation with mechanics. thank you , it wouldn't have been possibly without your content
Please have this car updated to a modern but still basic daily driver with an emphasis on updating the mechanical aspects (so no electronic gadgetry other than the absolutely necessary). I think that'll be in theme with it's basic but fun origins.
I recently gotten a 2003 acura cl for $1000 its my first car. I bought it from my mom and i been doing lil things so far to make the car feel way more comfortable to drive such as leds under the dash, headlight bulbs, hood struts, an aftermarket single din radio, window tint, and matching tail lights since it had 2 different ones and im doing this build on a budget too and i learned so much from watching your videos i been watching your videos for 5 years now and they help out alot since i like to diy anything on my car to save money and helps with my future career since it helps me keep track and know what was done to the car
I have a love for the little Honda and Toyota sports cars. This looks like a fun little project car and definitely a solid daily driver for someone who needs a fun point A to point B driver that doesn't need too much upkeep to keep things running. Thanks for the video Chris. I've got another generation of Grandkids learning the basics for car maintenance now, and they want a little project car for their first. (My dad made us buy our own cars and work on them before we could get a license.) At the time I thought he was being too hard on us but those first few years of being an adult mean that you don't have a whole lot of money but you tend to have plenty of time. I've gotten myself out of more than one jam and even though I definitely made mistakes, I learned to fix them, and once you've done something once the process becomes more intuitive as you go along. To anyone reading this, make mistakes, if you have to incredible hulk it, penetrating fluid and a drink (hopefully non alcoholic) are you best friends. Have patience and know that when you finally have those bolts off and a 10mm in the engine bay, your car will still keep chugging along. I bought one car that I couldn't find the source of the jingling even after I checked the suspension and engine. I crawled under the car again, thinking I might have to get it to a specialist mechanic when I took a test drive around the block and found a 10mm socket on the driveway. No more jingling and that car ended up being a capable little 4x4 for where we lived in the boonies.
I'd love to see individual video's on how to fix head gasket, ball joints etc. Then either find some other ideas to show us how to's with the car or once it's all complete do a wheeler dealer type thing
Individual episodes please. It'll be very informative for all of us and hopefully we'll learn a thing or two along the way and man you're great at what you do so keep on doing what you do best. Which is FIX CARS.
That poor kid just lost almost all his freedom for $300. At least give him the option to buy it back for a good price. It would probably change his life right now.
Damn I want trying to be rude to Chris. I have mad respect for him. He didn't steal the car by any means. It has enough issues to be worth 300. I'm just saying I think it would be cool to show us all the fixes and give it back or have the kid pay for parts or something. Chris does amazing work and puts in who knows how many hours of editing and setup. Nothing personal intended. Love Chris.
I remember watching this video when it was new. Shortly after, my dad brought home a beater '99 civic sedan. I learned a lot with that car, how to jump start a car, how to clean mold, how to replace a muffler, how to drive manual. He eventually gave up on working on it and sold it for $500 to a junkyard about 2 years ago. I'm getting my permit in a week or so and god I wish he kept it. Now I'm not sure if I can even afford anything manual. A Neon would be nice, but thag civic was something else.
That car needs a turbo. Get it pushing 200-250 hp on such a lightweight platform and you've got one hell of a fun summer car! A lot of easy fixes, and I don't recall seeing a 'how to turbo' video on your channel yet :D
Since you already have a DriftStang, why not make this a little grip monster? The weight is amazing, and with some minor forced induction, this can be a track beast!
10:22 You gotta respect that blur job. I've seen movies that don't come close to that quality. Like his finger moves through the blue but his finger never becomes blurry yet the text as it comes out the other side is still blured, love it.
a full on engine swap with instructions would kick ass. I watched many videos of engine swappings without getting told what actually gets done. It would be very nice interesting and informative. and thanks for all your other videos they are so cool and I learnt many things and I am less scared of operating on my car.
I wish I had the money to show everyone how to do that, as well as learn a lot on my own...I plan to eventually do a 4g63T swap on my 2005 CS3 Mitsubishi Lancer, and document & "tutorialise" the whole thing XD...One day...one day.
Sorry my english is so suck check out a channel called "the skid shed" it's an affiliation of mighty car mods channel Al does engine swaps and tells you everything he is doing
Chris is by far the greatest most humble RUclipsr out there. He takes his valuable time to look at comments on videos even years after posting the original video. We even had a little convo on Instagram. I will always support this guy and he deserves everything he has
I have been very much I'm disbelief about this channel but two of the most unbelievable statements I've ever heard has me convinced this is one of the fakest channels I've ever heard! I really just can't believe they weren't edited out. There's one person behind the scenes that knows somewhat about cats and that's the one who proofreads the script.
I have to agree, I have been looking at doing a conversion on my car (95 civic coupe) and there is a severe lack of videos on it. Even forums don't have much info, a few pictures here and there, but not much.
Man love how this channel has grown. Fun fact. Few months ago me and a buddy took my ranger with one them trailers on a 3 hour trip to get a mightymax your vids definitely showed me how to look for stuff like that small issues and stuff. Got it with no spark and no fuel but seen it was just a missing fuse and seen he was buying relays thinking thag was the issue (I have a little experience with them trucks lol) seen there was a set of barring so needed that speedo cable just a good amount of work seen he had a fuel pump for it. But he had most the parts it needed. But for 300 got the thing and towed it home. But the best part is with them smaller trucks you can make them fishtail pretty quick at 80-85 or so lol but they are horrible to back up with guess where it’s such a short wheel base
Chrisfix please don’t sell that car. You never know if that could land in the hands of a ricer. I think that you should make individual videos for the stuff that needs fixing on the car. Fixing the power steering is something that would make a good video. And you should clean the outside, inside, and engine bay and do a before and after montage. Keep up the great videos and I’ll make sure to watch your next one!
Awesome video. You should keep the car. I find a lot of value in your videos and I'd like to see you fix the floor panel, do body work, and suspension work as well. I could continue to learn from you rather than you sell it off for profit. Everyone knows how to do that. You're Chris fix man! FIX IT! Additionally, you could make more money by making a few videos about fixing it rather than selling it.
@@chrisfix Im new to your channel. Very useful videos, youre humble well spoken, positive, good teacher and AWESOME VIDEO of you giving your mom her dream car. YOU'RE THE MAN.
man, you are just incredible. The way you explain and how much you now about cars is just ubelivable !! Your videos are making me rethink my life and my profession, thank you a lot and keep up the good work!
Chrisfix, most of us viewers are real car enthusiasts and like to see cars being fixed up and loved. It would be nice to upload all repairs like DIYs so that a hobby mechanic like me can learn stuff that normally a wouldn't consider doing. After all, a car is only once in its life original and it would be great if for a change an unloved Honda like this would be restored to his former glory and doesn't end up like an ricer, as an beat up derby or as an piece of junkyard steal. Hopefully you will gif it your special TLC and make it as original as possible. Only you can do videos like: "how to re-spray a car yourself" the right way..😉
Ilias Lamari You and i thought the same thing i would like to him turn that Honda into a racer, and I would like to see if he can do like a beginner guide to mods on a car because I wouldn’t know where to start. Of course after seeing each single repair. I do I always watch his videos to fix my Honda Accord. What car you drive?
Accurate title is most important thing with cheap cars. So if nothing else you can just get rid of easy. Also.... Dont lose that $%^#. Happens to a lot of people. If you sign up for a free Experian credit check account it will let you enter VINs of cars you "own". It will give you owner history and show you all the possible brands and major accidents for free. You can add and remove all you want. Its important for ball park value. It will give you a score range for that specific car/model. Appreciate your videos Chris. Its good to see people learning to wrench.
Victor D. Romero that's actually a really good idea. I just got my driver's permit but him doing a "pimp my ride" series would be better in my eyes but great idea
I think that is what the consensus is in the comments! For the most part, the majority is saying to keep it and show fix videos for each thing that needs to get fixed.
A thirteen year old has a phone worth more than $300, it's impressive what you can do if you just saved your money and didn't buy a new phone every year
I think you should fix it back up and give it back to the original owner. Looks like he cut you a good deal and would be pretty awesome to "pay-it-forward" or in this case "pay-it-back"
Vinney1234 im sure he would greatly appriciate it. Looked like he was in a bad spot in the 1st place. And yoi could almost see the crushing look on his face as he loaded it up. And chris would make his money back an then some in ad revenue on the vids he did with it anyway.
I have been an avid fan from the Philippines, Chris. I really love what you do. I'm a school teacher who dreams of having a super reliable daily driver. Makes me wanna wish you're just a few blocks away and ask your cheapest car. Merry Christmas!
Yeah he was just doing because it was ChrisFix no one would ever do that for a normal person. The guy was originally asking $1000 but he paid $300 for it
Do your individual repair videos. Get the car back to being a very nice example of a Del Sol. After that, you have options. Option #1- Give it back to the poor kid who lost his car for $300 Option #2- Stick a B18c or K20 in the engine bay for a very fun car Option #3- Make it nice again, then flip it wheeler dealer style, but to be honest, I'd like to see the original owner get a chance to buy it back for a decent price.
That's what I'm saying. This poor kid probably just lost almost all his freedom and mobility for a couple hundred bucks. It's tough being young with limited funds and no tools or experience. It doesn't have to be 100% charity, just offer to sell it back to him for a decent price after repair costs and time invested.
I agree with OP! Give the Dude a chance at getting his car back. Why not bring him over and teach him some car repair? Might make for some interesting videos?
You should definitely do a learning video of how to replace each part that needs replacement.. I mean one for head gasket, one for suspension rebuild, etc. And then perhaps make a race car out of it!
your optimism with this car is very surprising every problem you saw looked like a nightmare but your brain saw opportunity in it lol. looking forward to the future of this project
Damien G lol from our perspectives that's how it looks but for a content creator like him and someone whose really passionate about cars, I enjoy seeing his positivity to fix it
I have to say thank you, Chris. I saw this and went out and bought a $350 honda on craigslist but that turned out to be stolen, so when I got out of jail (2 months later) I went and bought a 375$ Mazda. But then the transmission literally exploded, so I had to pay $180 for it to be towed of of the garage. SO I went and snagged a sweet cheverlet silverado for $450 on craigslist and as soon as I fixed the steering the fuel tank started leaking, which pointed out flashlights at the fuel line which was cracked all to hell... cost us only $50 to tow that one. So now - a year later - I'm down over a thousand bucks. Nice.
It also sounds like you’re right. You’re down over a thousand but you’re more knowledgeable and on a positive path to getting another car for a good value. Good day
I do see the rear wheel conversion is winning however, Chris you no in your Heart this is the right thing to do to a car that is getting more and more rare. BRING THIS BEAUTIFUL BABY BACK!!!!!!!! O.G STYLE

Chris I know you see all comments, and almost always answers to them. Let me tell you something buddy! You are incredible, for real this is one of the best channel about Mechanical, I remember watching your video 1 year ago and couldn't understand because English ain't my first language, now I still don't understand 100% of your video but my man is incredible how I watch even twice a video that I can't understand 100%. The Battery prius is the best video, now I even want to be Mechanical because I am about to drop out college because of affordability and my man I love your content, you are awesome keep killing it, all love from us.
I just picked up a 93 del sol as my first car can’t wait to binge watch the build series on this one and work away through the winter to make mine perfect again
The amount of people here saying ‘you ripped off the kid’ ‘you should give the car back’ annoys me, some people don’t understand the whole premise of flipping cars
@Vaughn Glugla No. IF, and yes, IF the guy he bought it from had knowledge and guts to repair it, he could have done it. But he may not have that. So it's CHRIS' knowledge that's worth the gain in car's value. Nothing else. Nothing unfair here.
@Vaughn Glugla 1, the previous offers jinson got was for 100 bucks, 2 if you look at the moment chris gave him the money you see that he actually paid 400 bucks
the car wasn't worth much to begin with and this kid is now on almost 9 million view video. I'd give him the car for free if I had a chance to be on this video with some advertising of my own brand

I have a love for the little Honda and Toyota sports cars. This looks like a fun little project car and definitely a solid daily driver for someone who needs a fun point A to point B driver that doesn't need too much upkeep to keep things running. Thanks for the video Chris.
I've got another generation of Grandkids learning the basics for car maintenance now, and they want a little project car for their first. (My dad made us buy our own cars and work on them before we could get a license.) At the time I thought he was being too hard on us but those first few years of being an adult mean that you don't have a whole lot of money but you tend to have plenty of time. I've gotten myself out of more than one jam and even though I definitely made mistakes, I learned to fix them, and once you've done something once the process becomes more intuitive as you go along.
To anyone reading this, make mistakes, if you have to incredible hulk it, penetrating fluid and a drink (hopefully non alcoholic) are you best friends. Have patience and know that when you finally have those bolts off and a 10mm in the engine bay, your car will still keep chugging along. I bought one car that I couldn't find the source of the jingling even after I checked the suspension and engine. I crawled under the car again, thinking I might have to get it to a specialist mechanic when I took a test drive around the block and found a 10mm socket on the driveway. No more jingling and that car ended up being a capable little 4x4 for where we lived in the boonies.
I'd love to see individual video's on how to fix head gasket, ball joints etc. Then either find some other ideas to show us how to's with the car or once it's all complete do a wheeler dealer type thing
Individual episodes please. It'll be very informative for all of us and hopefully we'll learn a thing or two along the way and man you're great at what you do so keep on doing what you do best. Which is FIX CARS.
This. And also flip it.
Do individual videos and it would be cool to see a motor swap on your channel!
Keep up with all of good work.
I'm Aahil, and I'm 7 years old from Sri Lanka. Love your videos
Awesome!!!
Video for each of the fixes!!!!
Owen Milberry tavarish lol
Do the individual videos about head gasket replacement, the shifter bushings, drum to disc brakes, etc.
This! More videos, more helpful.
Definitely do a drum to disk conversion. There aren't many of those out there that are any good on youtube.
TheAlmightyfoon Ikr. Mighty Car Mods did a video on it and it was trash.
I couldn’t find a single car under 500$ on autotempest as of 2024 lol

@@tylerrencher5559 I spent 33k
its tuff for us gen z lmao
I found 2, one was already gone, the other was just junk XD
Can’t get anything under $5000 nowadays
Do a how to on everything and surprise the kid by giving it back! That would be amazing
Spoogly awesome idea
That poor kid just lost almost all his freedom for $300. At least give him the option to buy it back for a good price. It would probably change his life right now.
Damn I want trying to be rude to Chris. I have mad respect for him. He didn't steal the car by any means. It has enough issues to be worth 300. I'm just saying I think it would be cool to show us all the fixes and give it back or have the kid pay for parts or something. Chris does amazing work and puts in who knows how many hours of editing and setup. Nothing personal intended. Love Chris.

I was gonna comment that
@@DeadClasherCoC lmao
I remember watching this video when it was new. Shortly after, my dad brought home a beater '99 civic sedan. I learned a lot with that car, how to jump start a car, how to clean mold, how to replace a muffler, how to drive manual. He eventually gave up on working on it and sold it for $500 to a junkyard about 2 years ago. I'm getting my permit in a week or so and god I wish he kept it.
Now I'm not sure if I can even afford anything manual. A Neon would be nice, but thag civic was something else.
Single episodes i prefer to learn about these things!!
The Chipies i agree with you
Same
That car needs a turbo. Get it pushing 200-250 hp on such a lightweight platform and you've got one hell of a fun summer car! A lot of easy fixes, and I don't recall seeing a 'how to turbo' video on your channel yet :D
I agree. Do the necessary repairs and then slap a turbo on it!
Since you already have a DriftStang, why not make this a little grip monster? The weight is amazing, and with some minor forced induction, this can be a track beast!
ndk2k4 yes!
It could be cool!
its front wheel drive dude..

10:22 You gotta respect that blur job. I've seen movies that don't come close to that quality. Like his finger moves through the blue but his finger never becomes blurry yet the text as it comes out the other side is still blured, love it.
a full on engine swap with instructions would kick ass. I watched many videos of engine swappings without getting told what actually gets done. It would be very nice interesting and informative. and thanks for all your other videos they are so cool and I learnt many things and I am less scared of operating on my car.
I wish I had the money to show everyone how to do that, as well as learn a lot on my own...I plan to eventually do a 4g63T swap on my 2005 CS3 Mitsubishi Lancer, and document & "tutorialise" the whole thing XD...One day...one day.
Mom?
Sorry my english is so suck check out a channel called "the skid shed" it's an affiliation of mighty car mods channel Al does engine swaps and tells you everything he is doing
The Auto DIY Guy Cool, I hope you can do it eventually!
Thanks TheAussieSamurai I will definetly check that out. I like Mighty Car mods, they're fun chaps.

Chris is by far the greatest most humble RUclipsr out there. He takes his valuable time to look at comments on videos even years after posting the original video. We even had a little convo on Instagram. I will always support this guy and he deserves everything he has
I liked your comment, but I took it away because it’s at 69
I have been very much I'm disbelief about this channel but two of the most unbelievable statements I've ever heard has me convinced this is one of the fakest channels I've ever heard! I really just can't believe they weren't edited out. There's one person behind the scenes that knows somewhat about cats and that's the one who proofreads the script.

PLEASE do a drum to disc conversion. Its so hard to find a good video with that content
saaaaame
I have to agree, I have been looking at doing a conversion on my car (95 civic coupe) and there is a severe lack of videos on it. Even forums don't have much info, a few pictures here and there, but not much.
Bronco ii body swap 4x4 del sol. :)))
Agree
Man love how this channel has grown. Fun fact. Few months ago me and a buddy took my ranger with one them trailers on a 3 hour trip to get a mightymax your vids definitely showed me how to look for stuff like that small issues and stuff. Got it with no spark and no fuel but seen it was just a missing fuse and seen he was buying relays thinking thag was the issue (I have a little experience with them trucks lol) seen there was a set of barring so needed that speedo cable just a good amount of work seen he had a fuel pump for it. But he had most the parts it needed. But for 300 got the thing and towed it home. But the best part is with them smaller trucks you can make them fishtail pretty quick at 80-85 or so lol but they are horrible to back up with guess where it’s such a short wheel base
Chrisfix please don’t sell that car. You never know if that could land in the hands of a ricer. I think that you should make individual videos for the stuff that needs fixing on the car. Fixing the power steering is something that would make a good video. And you should clean the outside, inside, and engine bay and do a before and after montage. Keep up the great videos and I’ll make sure to watch your next one!
TheGhostofMarley I could be wrong, but I dont think this car ever had power steering
TheGhostofMarley I actually cringed when you mentioned the ricer part 😂😂😂
I would just say to make individual episodes on replacing parts, as well as keep it as a daily.
Awesome video. You should keep the car. I find a lot of value in your videos and I'd like to see you fix the floor panel, do body work, and suspension work as well. I could continue to learn from you rather than you sell it off for profit. Everyone knows how to do that. You're Chris fix man! FIX IT!
Additionally, you could make more money by making a few videos about fixing it rather than selling it.
Definitely agree with tbis just because I bought my own del sol
Ryan James. nice
Yeah that is what I am kinda hoping people will say haha!

"It has four wheels and it runs. It's a car."

man, you are just incredible. The way you explain and how much you now about cars is just ubelivable !! Your videos are making me rethink my life and my profession, thank you a lot and keep up the good work!
Film all the repairs. Make it completely factory, with a few modern twists (discs) and let the Jinson Drive it
Toby White nice idea
I like it
Great idea. He'd really like that.
I agree, factory style repairs and as it is black, turn it into pearlescent white and make it look classy
Diy turbocharging would be a great video in my opinion :)
Chrisfix, most of us viewers are real car enthusiasts and like to see cars being fixed up and loved. It would be nice to upload all repairs like DIYs so that a hobby mechanic like me can learn stuff that normally a wouldn't consider doing. After all, a car is only once in its life original and it would be great if for a change an unloved Honda like this would be restored to his former glory and doesn't end up like an ricer, as an beat up derby or as an piece of junkyard steal.
Hopefully you will gif it your special TLC and make it as original as possible. Only you can do videos like: "how to re-spray a car yourself" the right way..😉
Ilias Lamari You and i thought the same thing i would like to him turn that Honda into a racer, and I would like to see if he can do like a beginner guide to mods on a car because I wouldn’t know where to start. Of course after seeing each single repair. I do I always watch his videos to fix my Honda Accord. What car you drive?
Ilias Lamari yes!
Agreed
This man just read my mind.
Totally agree with your opinion
Coming back to this video is so funny, gets funnier every year, love ya Chris!
Please make individual episodes! Those are the most interesting ones to me.
I bought a $200 Civic cuz he didn’t know what was wrong and all we did was change the fuel pump and it’s good 💀💀

separate video on how to fix the things
I would like to see all that content as well, I really crave for more of Chris' videos :D
Accurate title is most important thing with cheap cars. So if nothing else you can just get rid of easy. Also.... Dont lose that $%^#. Happens to a lot of people.
If you sign up for a free Experian credit check account it will let you enter VINs of cars you "own". It will give you owner history and show you all the possible brands and major accidents for free. You can add and remove all you want. Its important for ball park value. It will give you a score range for that specific car/model.
Appreciate your videos Chris. Its good to see people learning to wrench.
Yess plss do an individual repair videos because i wanna learn the most
*You should fix it up and keep it as a teaching car !!!*
Victor D. Romero that's actually a really good idea. I just got my driver's permit but him doing a "pimp my ride" series would be better in my eyes but great idea
Or a daily
I think that is what the consensus is in the comments! For the most part, the majority is saying to keep it and show fix videos for each thing that needs to get fixed.
ChrisFix yes make it a jdm car
yes!
a lego porsche: 300$

I wanna see this but chris fix, make em super simple, because it does take you a little long for vids to come out, however keep up the awesome work?

I think you should fix it back up and give it back to the original owner. Looks like he cut you a good deal and would be pretty awesome to "pay-it-forward" or in this case "pay-it-back"
Vinney1234 this would be amazing
I agree with this
Vinney1234 im sure he would greatly appriciate it. Looked like he was in a bad spot in the 1st place. And yoi could almost see the crushing look on his face as he loaded it up. And chris would make his money back an then some in ad revenue on the vids he did with it anyway.
Great idea man.
why did i feel that this was actually the secret agenda... but hey... i don't know man..

@@seanoconnor630 I woulda paid 400$
Those del sol seats alone parted out can go for $300
Chris please make a video like this for 2024 It'll be really helpful
Do your individual repair videos. Get the car back to being a very nice example of a Del Sol. After that, you have options.
Option #1- Give it back to the poor kid who lost his car for $300
Option #2- Stick a B18c or K20 in the engine bay for a very fun car
Option #3- Make it nice again, then flip it wheeler dealer style, but to be honest, I'd like to see the original owner get a chance to buy it back for a decent price.
catch22frubert let it go back to the owner.... that’s a awesome idea
He looked bummed out
That's what I'm saying. This poor kid probably just lost almost all his freedom and mobility for a couple hundred bucks. It's tough being young with limited funds and no tools or experience. It doesn't have to be 100% charity, just offer to sell it back to him for a decent price after repair costs and time invested.
I agree with OP! Give the Dude a chance at getting his car back. Why not bring him over and teach him some car repair? Might make for some interesting videos?
catch22frubert yesss option one sounds awesome
Sleeper build? 😏
Mason Free oooooo good idea
You should definitely do a learning video of how to replace each part that needs replacement.. I mean one for head gasket, one for suspension rebuild, etc. And then perhaps make a race car out of it!
Mihir Kulkarni i agree!

Well you have the driftstang, you need a Honda “de corsa”. Full track car build
haha I also need a daily driver because driving all project cars is definitely a challenge!
I have to say thank you, Chris. I saw this and went out and bought a $350 honda on craigslist but that turned out to be stolen, so when I got out of jail (2 months later) I went and bought a 375$ Mazda. But then the transmission literally exploded, so I had to pay $180 for it to be towed of of the garage. SO I went and snagged a sweet cheverlet silverado for $450 on craigslist and as soon as I fixed the steering the fuel tank started leaking, which pointed out flashlights at the fuel line which was cracked all to hell... cost us only $50 to tow that one.
So now - a year later - I'm down over a thousand bucks. Nice.
Ardent keep trying. What I’m hearing is you still bought 3-4 cars for 1K-2K. Worth it man.
It also sounds like you’re right. You’re down over a thousand but you’re more knowledgeable and on a positive path to getting another car for a good value. Good day
man did you really go to jail wtf
That guy was nice, I think you should invite him in future to drive this car when it will be all fixed and modified.

@Vaughn Glugla No. IF, and yes, IF the guy he bought it from had knowledge and guts to repair it, he could have done it. But he may not have that. So it's CHRIS' knowledge that's worth the gain in car's value. Nothing else. Nothing unfair here.
