The story behind the build is best explained in this article by Rens Adams at Wangan Warriors: www.wanganwarriors.com/honda-d...
"Many thanks go out to Bennie’s mother who allowed him to use the garage for the project and making a complete mess every once in a while. Bennie would also like to thank the people at Kronenburg Autosport for letting him use a lot of equipment. Bennie also appreciates his mothers partner Edward for putting so much effort in getting the Del Sol certified and street legal."

Wonder if there's a Honda engineer out there somewhere watching the video screaming, jumping up and down yelling "told you we should have done it that way. that's exactly how we should have done it. it would have been so easy to do it right".
nbookie doubt it🤣 probably on vacation in the Bahamas 🇧🇸
They were never going to do this with the NSX and all the work they did in it. DS and CRX have been getting MR Swaps since launch of those cars. They should have been at least RW or given the Integra limited slip system.
nice man! thanks for featuring my car! 😍👌
Bennie Kerkhof amazing build, nice job!
Bennie Kerkhof you did a crazy good job on this build
gefeliciteerd met t door de keuring krijgen, zal wel ff zweten geweest zijn.
can I have it lol
Brian Torres... Right? I want one too!
Mini Nsx , very cool
Or Honda's answer to the mr2
Like of the nsx and sk2 had a baby
I don't know if anyone has commented on the fucking WORK you put in to do the 3d effect of the moving still images. as someone who does illustrator/ps work...I'm fucking impressed. great video and great build.
Thanks:)
Yea the moving still images are just amazing and the video too man!
Is this a lytro camera or some effect? it looks crazy cool!
No, it's all just manual photoshop;)
you said it man!
These cars should have always been this configuration
Had goosebumps throughout the whole video. He definitely saw his dream car and made it a dream come true
"The civic front end was welded to the rear of the del sol" something that's never been said before lol. Awesome build👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Bennie beat Honda at it's own game, great job
I'm lost for words . this just shows that dreams can come true . I always wanted another kid engine honda and it makes me feel good to know that someone has accomplished this dream of mine. mad respect man . nothing is impossible
one of the best honda builds i ever seen, great work
WOW! You made what Honda should had made from the factory! Amazing project!
I have seen this car irl and its done to such a high standard you would think it came from the factory rear engined
If the del sol came with a mid engine from factory I would've owned 1 in a heart beat
MR2 > delSol ...
@darkrulier I already had a 1991 sw21 MR2, and I loved it, but im too tall for it, which is what has inspired me to research people building their own mid engine car, I already bought a 1993 geo prizm, im going to redesign it, and turn it into a longer mid engine car, im planning to install either a K or a J series drivetrain, depending what I get when I find the right donor, if I get a J series donor, I may put that in my element, and swap the k24 from my element into the rear of the prizm.
I already bought most of the rearend parts I will use to redesign the body, I got a set of 2nd gen porsche cayenne headlights, but they look like they may be too big for this car, might go with aftermarket 7th gen celica headlights, we shall see 😎👍🏼
now that is dedication
I wish that car channels would use this car in their shitty ricer vs tuner videos instead of comparing a honda exhaust to a supra or gtr's. This build is awesome
Yea lol
These cars should have come mid engined from the factory
Shaeer Hassan yea I agree. Everything about them screams mid engine but they aren't
Yeah the CRZ should have come K Series with mid engine RWD. Just as light as an FF
What a blast she must be to race.. awesome job, love the passion you put into this.
This is exactly what I’ve always wanted to do with a del sol
The way Del Sol should've beem from factory.
Such a quality build with so much passion
beautiful
Damn!! Mind blown! The amount of work that went into this project is insane. Really enjoyed watching this video.
So much work to basically turn it into an MR2. Awesome build never the less.
I guess we'll have to wait and see if someone turns an MR2 into a Del Sol by moving the drivetrain to the front:')
WingManGT yeah but the fact that it's not an MR2 sets it apart. and parts won't be as expensive as the dying MR2..
only it looks better, it's more unique, and it has a lot more power.
The Del sol is much prettier than the MR2 tho.
Absolutely amazing
nice to see someone made a MR out of a Del sol, I own a MR2 AW11 and seen a Del Sol and was like, why didn't Honda make that an MR???
The old NSX is MR layout
This is a true love story, is just amazing and inspiring
is this not the coolest build ever?! good job dude this is amazing
I love the quote at the beginning keep up the great work guys
Any Honda owners out there? Which model and what mods? Would be interesting to hear in the comments:-)
Build Threads my brother has a stock Honda Accord 😂😂
Bone stock 93 Honda Del Sol
Build Threads 1986 CRX Si. Del sol seats and enkei 92 wheels but other than that it's bone stock
Build Threads how much did all that cost ? And how long?
You should read this article: www.wanganwarriors.com/honda-del-sol-youre-not-expecting/ Lots of info there. On a project like this it's difficult to define when the build process starts and when it's done, and as a lot of fabrication work was done by Bennie himself, cost in time is difficult to translate into money.
Awesome quote in the beginning. Keep up the great videos. Probably one of my favorite subscriptions in a long time.
Amazing car as well as video! Thanks for making/sharing brother!
Amazing build man! Wow.
Best edits so far! Awesome work!!
i enjoyed watching this and motivated me to keep my del sol and work it
