Thank you so very much to "Hand Built Cars" for making this wonderful video! This was my son's car, and it was his amazingly detailed work, and his money, that were invested in it...for his own enjoyment. You have made an incredible keepsake for him! He would have disagreed with the title about it being a resto, perhaps, as that wasn't his actual intent, and it's a bit misleading...but who cares? It was his project, his fun. He wanted to make this CRX to be a stunning and original statement of his own...and he did. I loved that thing! Thanks for all the thumbs up from many of you watchers, and this is by way of explanation to the haters who were stuck on the word "restoration".
Man.... all that work, literally touched every nut & bolt on the entire car, and then the extreme overkill of red accents in the interior.. I mean to each their own and not trying to take anything away from the builder but it would’ve been nice to see it kept at factory spec. Still a job very well done though.
Knt even begin to imagine the words to tell you how beautiful this job turned out on this beautiful/magnificent piece of work!!! Makes me have hopes for my 88 DX and pass it down to my son one day!!! Wow...just wow.
I've been watching a LOT of restoration-type videos recently which is probably why this popped up for me. I noticed there were a lot of comments about the red accent NOT being spec which was apparently a problem for some people given the title of the video. While I am not a fan of them myself, I didn't need to be to appreciate the video. I liked how you showed the before and after for all the refurbishment projects. I showed just how much work you put into this project. And I personally think the bigger take away is that you don't need to have a bunch of fancy equipment to do a project like this. Case in point - you built your own paint booth and used your shower to wash parts (If there was a lady in your life at the time, I'm confident I appreciated that a little more than she did). All-in-all, great work and thank you for sharing it.
And the ridiculous front lights, rear door grille, and wheels. Basically it is not original factory condition. And there's a question raised about the tempomat. All in all the quality of the build is awesome, why would anyone use that shitty looking aftermarket tempomat if there was OEM especially for USDM vehicles. not to mention that antenna module.
Lol....I was 20 in 1989 and bought my Black 89 CRX Si brand new. Loved that car.....will forever be my favorite car. Not sure why I traded it several years later, but man I’d love to get that car back. Doubt it even exists anymore....but, I’ve been looking and may find one to restore one day. I’d go back stock with anything I did with the dark interior...that interior was ahead of its time.
this is too. much for me. great job. well done. plus i can't think how did you came out with plastics cuts from some kind of basket maybe to mount your speakers.. that's awesome and genius.
I had a black 1991 Honda CRX VTEC EE8 and a white 1999 Honda ITR in 2008. Now I have a cool fixed gear bicycle and didn’t drove a car anymore since 2016 .
Very nice build and amazing work! I cringed when I started seeing red accents throughout. I guess the seats are cool, but all the other accents where a little too ricey.
fuck all these people commenting on this video with all their nitpicking. I bet 99% of them cant even restore headlights much less an entire car. Collision tech here giving you props on one hell of a job. Keep it up.
if only I could get some parts to restore my CRX would be great .. in Mexico there is no variety and good prices for a restoration like that 😔 I love my CRX 🙄😀😀
I understand buddy but this car are meant to have dark interior or carbon fiber spoon style Honda is a car that is very judge trust me I would keep stock with b18,b16 to scream and stock and mean trust me but prompts for you hard work nicely done sir
Ахренеть как коробка похожа на ВАЗ 2110 , да и сам мотор с одним рапредвалом прям наш 8 клапанный, но что удивило там так это реализация 16 плапанов с одним рапредом ))) блок алюминиевый гильзованный, а у нас чугун ))) капец как интересно
Should have atleast up graded from dual point-to-multipoint fuel injection you had all the wiring out should have just popped in si wiring or converted dual point-to-multipoint and yes I do not agree with all the red accents and interior but your car still turned out great good job man
Merci, je suis en train de faire la même mais je ne trouve pas les pièces surtout les clips les joints en tout genre surtout ceux des 2 glissière sur le toit, si tu aurais un lien, très bon travail en tout cas merci
Loved most of the build. BEAUTIFUL car. WAAAY too much overkill on the red. Minor red accents, sure...but holy moly. And to each their own, but that cover over the hatch glass is beyond horrid. Despite what others say, I do like the Si wheel choice though. Not fitting for the title of the video though. Great restoration. Maybe consider changing the video title to "CR-X restoration with a touch of our own" or something like that. Not "Total Factory Condition" This makes me miss my Cr-x's though...Over all, great job!

Lots of work and looks nice. Personally id like the interior to be totally stock but i can appreciate the work that went into this car
Totaly agree with you

“Factory Condition”
Apart from the wheels not been factory. Did he recondition the Engine or replace it?

oh damn that's red lodge Montana, I'm 30 miles from there, gorgeous town and amazing state. proud to be a local and great build!
Lmao I stopped watching the second I saw the red brake drum
Love this. At 62 I don't think I could do anything near this. But she is still in pretty good shape. That interior!!
Fantastic detail. More complete than any other video I've ever seen about a Honda CRX or Civic.
Macchina perfetta,pari al nuovo,anzi,meglio del nuovo,e' a un livello di perfezione da concorso.straordinaria,complimenti
You're built as an inspiration to all of us that have a car or project that needs to get done
you obviously like crx's. You did a very good job cleaning this one up. Looks good man. I hope you love it forever.
My first NEW car was a 1989 Honda CRX DX in light met blue with dark blue interior. Great little car!!.. great on gas and very sporty!
Forget the haters, it looks great! This car will now last longer then most new cars being built today. Keep up the great work.
My 88 CRX was my first new car and my all-time fav. Watching this video was beautiful.
Bravo! Words cannot express how an amazing this restoration is. That sir is my dream car.
That's how it rolled off the line, even with that interior? Cool! I've never seen that EVER!
lol
Amazing. Hard work really does pay off. Beautiful car.
Another beautiful full restoration of a Honda CRX. Awesome job. Good as new 👍👍
This whole restoration was ruined by that abortion of an interior and over-judicious use of red accents.
Ruin, all look good except the interior red.
And the ridiculous front lights, rear door grille, and wheels. Basically it is not original factory condition.
And there's a question raised about the tempomat. All in all the quality of the build is awesome, why would anyone use that shitty looking aftermarket tempomat if there was OEM especially for USDM vehicles. not to mention that antenna module.
Great work! I had a black 91 si back in the day. I miss that car.
Nice work. Would like all black interior.
I really loved my 78 vw schirrocco but damn all that money and work into a budget car dude must have truly loved that car
Sweet restoration
Would have ditched the headlights, interior red accents and gone with an older style wheel that fits the CRX era.
Very nice detail on restoration of this wonderful honda however I would only consider it a resto mod.
I had mine when i was 22. bought it new in 1988. was my dream car then and is still today.

Me too. Still have it today and it is better than new in every respect. Love this car!
Gud Honda Civic Nouva in Indonesia 🇲🇨
I hope to be able to make at the end of the restoration of my CRX Vtec, a video like yours. 😃
this is too. much for me. great job. well done. plus i can't think how did you came out with plastics cuts from some kind of basket maybe to mount your speakers.. that's awesome and genius.
That interior. Holly smokes man.
i had a 88 crx in red all done up ! miss that car
I had a black 1991 Honda CRX VTEC EE8 and a white 1999 Honda ITR in 2008.
Now I have a cool fixed gear bicycle and didn’t drove a car anymore since 2016 .
Awesome job
Well done
Que belleza de vehiculo 👍👍👋👋
Wow that turned out and looks amazing! I really appreciated this video! Must be so costly to do that!
very deceiving title, red accents are not original spec
Making a rice look nice💯🔥
Amazing rebuild, looks fantastic, the attention to detail is mind blowing. Can I send you my old R32B skyline?. 🇬🇧😉👍
A crazy job a big congratulations to you from France
Was my dream car in that time. Great job.
The cars you love are cool. You're a great champion.
Incredible peace of expertise, bravo from kenya
Now sell it to me! What amazing work!
Beautiful restoration
Very nice build and amazing work! I cringed when I started seeing red accents throughout. I guess the seats are cool, but all the other accents where a little too ricey.
Y'all really don't know what rice is. Rice is race inspired cosmetic enhancements. Red accents are not rice.
Super travail 👍❤️👍👍❤️
Good Job its Looks Like A new Car
Should have gone to Specsavers lol
Absolutely incredible!
very nice build
Im not honda fanbiy, but this is niceee...
Pretty sure my 03' accord just nutted in its oil pan. Screw the hating ass comments. I enjoyed the vid and use of red accents. Gj!
good joob bro...nice restoration
Turned out really good if I was doing that build I would have put a B series engine in it . looks great though.
Too beautiful. Nice
A Dream 😍❤️
Impressive commitment, detail, documentation, and result.
I’ve never driven a CRX but heard that they are a lot of fun.
Do you enter it in car shows?
Perfect
Best work guys
fuck all these people commenting on this video with all their nitpicking. I bet 99% of them cant even restore headlights much less an entire car. Collision tech here giving you props on one hell of a job. Keep it up.

Way much better then brand new! I wander how much would this car sell.. I guess around 50k…
53:35 is one of those "Real Men of Genius" type moments 😂
Bien hermoso 🤩
Nice love it this car

if only I could get some parts to restore my CRX would be great .. in Mexico there is no variety and good prices for a restoration like that 😔 I love my CRX 🙄😀😀

I understand buddy but this car are meant to have dark interior or carbon fiber spoon style Honda is a car that is very judge trust me I would keep stock with b18,b16 to scream and stock and mean trust me but prompts for you hard work nicely done sir
OMG when I saw that hammer and chisel, there's so so much elbow grease!
Great job!
Good work

Quality. 👍
Cool 😎
Why?

Nice build dude
Nice job! How much does it cost to do something like this?
Congratulation! Very well done!
Should have atleast up graded from dual point-to-multipoint fuel injection you had all the wiring out should have just popped in si wiring or converted dual point-to-multipoint and yes I do not agree with all the red accents and interior but your car still turned out great good job man
Why you guys put the same mottor ?? Oh well nice great job
Restored to factory condition
Very good amizing job
Very good job. We have a honda civic sedan GL 1991. Could you restore it? Hahaha 😄 Do you know where can i find bumbers?
i can smell the 1990s Schwag weed as i watch this !!! nice
sweet crx.
Whats the bottom coated with??
Merci, je suis en train de faire la même mais je ne trouve pas les pièces surtout les clips les joints en tout genre surtout ceux des 2 glissière sur le toit, si tu aurais un lien, très bon travail en tout cas merci
No me imagino cuánto costará asi
I was totally digging this and then my eyes started to hurt when the taillights went on...what just happened?
From Rice to Nice🤣
What were the subframe & others parts coated with?
Nothing half ass on that. I would buy it and only drive it during the summer. 100%
Amazing work, but in my opinion.. no red paint inside
Loved most of the build. BEAUTIFUL car. WAAAY too much overkill on the red. Minor red accents, sure...but holy moly. And to each their own, but that cover over the hatch glass is beyond horrid.
