@@fadedchicken I’d recommend starting with something service based first and avoid most of the get rich quick BS that’s all over the internet.

I appreciate the work you put into improving this car, and more importantly, your honesty. So many people are quick to judge and tell you a million things you did wrong but like you said, you're learning and that's what its all about! Eventually you'll have a system that will allow you to make the transformations even better and faster. Good work bro.
I truly love watching videos like this one and believe it could evolve into a great series, similar to the format of 'Buddy's DIY' channel. One suggestion I have is to delve deeper into explaining the process of fixing or diagnosing problems. Many videos assume viewers already possess a certain level of knowledge, but I find it incredibly helpful when every step is thoroughly explained. As someone who isn't as mechanically inclined as I'd like to be, I appreciate the opportunity to learn as much as possible from someone more knowledgeable. Regardless, fantastic video! Keep up the great work!!! :)
Back in the 90's. I was doing the same thing during college, but I took the autobody shop every semester to be able to use the paint booth. I then started a mobile mechanic and worked on people's cars. Great hustling and awesome video. Keep on grinding. I know it takes a lot of time and dedication.
The headlights have been mentioned multiple times, already. Maybe a Harbor Freight carport canopy may be an item to consider to cover your other workplace (if wind isn't a significant impairment)? Kudos to your grind.
Nice job......the profit made it worthwhile. Good job attending to the mechanical issues first. Before we had ODB2 readers, we had to do some detective work, although we didn't have all the modules and sensors either. I was just outside today working on a bumper cover on a work stand. Of course, with plastic, you have to use a flexible glazing putty to make certain there aren't future cracks. I think that in our case, since you have a car port, I would probably find some heavier plastic sheeting and create a makeshift paint booth. It would at least keep some trash out of your paint job. Also, I think I would buy some new hinges and/or latch for the hood instead of the hood latches. The rest of the car looks great and it sounds like you have it running good. Very resourceful project.
@ 6:12 you get a close-up of the harmonic balancer aka crank pulley. It looks broken or else an optical illusion because of grease and/or oil. If it's chipped then it won't have even dampening and this will lead to premature failure of main bearings and likely cause premature leaks for your front and rear main seals. It may be worth looking into @BeforeTheStorm
@@JOATJESSE crank pulley seal is leaking and the rear main seal was replaced already. I need to reseal the timing cover and tensioner cover too. This is going to be a great project
They sell these headlight restoration kits at auto zone for 20 bucks. I restored my wife's saturn vues lights, been 2 years now, and they still look new
FYI, good tip is on the first coat don't go for full coverage, go for evenly sloppy and it's the perfect base for 2nd,3rd, and 4th to be done the same way it will naturally even out the more layers u add giving you a perfect solid paint job in the end
This was so lovely to watch bro, just the way you edit and talk just feels like I'm talking to another brother about his car or work. Keep it up I love seeing yo vids on my fyp too. (And yeah someone else said it but maannnnn the headlights lmaooo) over all good ass work mah boi. mwah.
Good job 👍 I’m a painter I’ll give you a easy tip for your next paint job, put the tape first around trims but don’t stick the edge down and just put the paper in and fold 👍
I spray painted a friends car in his driveway. It was in a suburb of Toronto. You could probably guess the neighbors weren't thrilled. Car looked nice though. I used Centari Acrylic enamel. This was back in the 80's. Nice job.
Part of me is afraid of re-painting my honda civic 10th gen, I live in hawaii and the weather here is usually hot/muggy. But seeing how you did it with the weather against you gave me some encouragement. Good job!
Something I was taught is if your swapping an engine with a junkyard unit of the same engine type, transfer your sensors onto the junkyard engine as you you know those sensor are good and working and if you know you have a bad sensor on the old engine by a replacement as 9/10 times it is good (even brand new parts can be faulty) or if the sensor is easy to get to risk it use the junkyard engines sensor
You are living my dream. I want to make car modifications but I’m just way too poor. But watching your videos makes me confident that I should follow my dreams.
Awesome video! Gonna use your hood latches on a volvo that broke the cable and takes a ton of labor to replace. One tip. Use a good quality lightweight bodyfill like evercoat. SOOOO much easier to sand.
future reference, restore the headlights if possible before reinstalling. That way, you won't need to worry about them when detailing the car. Overall, great job 👏
Pretty cool. I’ve done the same thing with much more minor body work. I’m in Vancouver, Canada and there are rarely deals like that. I just got a 1991 GMC Jimmy yesterday that I’m going to do the same. Get engine to stop stalling and paint it. $500 was just a once in 10 year deal in my area
Thanks bro you motivated me to do the same thing to flip cars . I work in construction industry and is making me older due to physical and heavy work. I could definitely look my self doing this
You did a dam good job there for a first timer. Learning by doing, and paint is one of those things - we have to do it to learn it. Suggest rust inhibitor coating the edges of the raw cut sheet metal where the hood locks were installed. LOL we all been there with the wheelbarrow dumping our stuff in the junkyard. Stay gold.
As a collision technician I can say you did a nice job with the dents next time try to sand down the surrounding area and feather it so it blends well and leaves you less high spots , also a lighten up a littleon the hardner when ur mixing mud
actual insanity to not do the headlights, i waited all video for it and you didnt do it when its probably the easiest thing you could have done that makes a crazy difference
Pro tip- buy some 3M rubbing compound and use it to rub off the oxidation off headlights. It makes them look brand new as long as there’s no oxidation on the inside. If there is, there are you tube vids on how to bake your lights in the oven to open them up- some people do this to replace just the outer housing
Really nice, first streamer that actually you can believe on how much work they put in and how much each part cost. But even with that you still had some skills... and some useful tools
same with me bought a 91 integra and drove it back home 2 hours away with literally no brakes and very very very bad suspension.. But still have it to this day, its been with me for over 5+ years
Great video from a car flipper to another, always swap out the headlights and possibly the tail lights too. You’ll get way more money for the car. A new headlight is like a facial spa to a car gives it a new look.
Sand the headlights with 600 grit. And 2 light coats of clear. Will be good as new lol. Black is the easiest to spray. 2-3 layers of clear is fine. 4 is over kill unless your going to do heavy block sanding, polish and buffing.
I used to hate on Hondas for many years until I got my first one with an f23 manual. Now I rock a k24 manual. Excellent machines except for the door locks and window motors lol
Yo you have a great community here, first time going comments without anyone mention the ric* work. Awesome job and keep up the work. It’s not pro fix, it’s a street fix. Still looks badass on the finished product and saved one rsx from going to the crusher.
Wet sand those head light with 600 until the yell clears up to clear. Then dry them and clear coat them ,don't rush it ,just like you painted the car dust the first coat and then two good coats . Perfect
Pretty solid work for a driveway budget job. NGL, I was a little 😬 at first, but other than the bondo thing, and getting a little better setup, definitely did a great job. You could grab some tarps or heavy plastic sheeting and a couple box fans with filters and rig up a booth in your carport for not too much effort or cost. I found a decent paint-less dent removal tool kit is really handy and cheap way to take care of normal dents and dings for the most part, and a skim coat of Rage Gold or 3M body filler finishes it nicely, mix in a little Plastik Honey by Evercoat to enhance cheaper quality body fillers or to flow it smoother. Name brand Bondo is too brittle and stiff for my preference. Cool video 🤙
I would have left the spoiler, door handles, and hood latches black. Maybe even tinted the tail lights too. But, your end result was great. Thanks for sharing this! Very instructive!👍🏽🙏📿🌀🪷
Man that looks awesome compared to when you bought it. Believe it or not, I'm actually rattle can painted cars before and had some amazing results, but nothing beats a gravity fed paint gun!
Always use thinner with microfiber cloth or cheese-cloth to get rid of all oil, wax and fingerprints before even spraying. You may need to do this again after the primer. This will stop paint peeling back in the future.
I’m glad I found you channel it’s some good clean videos. I like to see people going to the junkyard these new parts they make now days are horrible older junkyard factory parts are better.
Idk how often you paint but you should look into getting a foldable canopy that people use for events and picnics. Helps with rain and you can hang plastic from the sides to help with bugs and dust.
When masking off, its best to remove everything that would leave a clear line. For example on the door, remove the mirror, the trim below the window, and the door handle that way your paint is getting everywhere on the panel.
I used to flip cars in the early 2000s. It was easy as hell. Most cars Hondas/240sx/toyotas all about 100-500 with issues. I made so much money. I once bought an AE86 for $300. There was a time when this was fun and a good way to make money, but not anymore. These kids now think these old 90s Hondas are worth 16oz gold bullion
It does look way better. Thats why i paint. You shouldve buffed and polished the orange peel though. Bring the shine out a bit more from your clear coat. Make sure you have enough clear on, to do so, if you decide to do it again in the future.
Get a Headlight restoration kit. The hot Cup with chemical steam type. clean sand lights, polish with some 1 2 3 - 5 k paper and then chem steam seal. New lights voila and presto. From one builder to the Next you did Good man! Good Find!
Subbed recently but been binge watching your channel bro keep up the content it’s GOATED🔥🐐 Your videos get me hyped to work on my 02 Accord coupe V6 💯 your content is unique bro never change! Peace out from ATL 😎
this is basically me. restoring an ek lmao. its calm while im sanding and doing all prep work then the wind magically comes out when its time to prime the car. i just got a 10x20 tent and going to be placing a tarp under the car when its time to paint lol. now im just waiting for this random californian rain/wind to stop to get to painting
This is something I would love to try myself at home, I first would need a cheap car that I really don't care about to try it on. I would not feel right doing it to a car I drive daily, but it would be cool to try it out on a beater or a cheap car you want to try a fix up and flip. You sir have bigger balls then me. LOL You didn't do 1/2 bad man, nice job.
Quick tip on masking. Tape your perimeter first with only tape. Then use mask and tape. It’s a little more tape but will save time and you’ll have a tighter paint line.
lovely job .....for other headlights use one half of an orange on each headlamp sprinkle each with baking soda and spend around 5 minutes on each one then rinse off ,, thats it dont spare the soda when it goes sprinkle more.......or use both half's of a lemon ... i tried both on different weeks about the same result.....would of been easier if they kept it glass but plastic fades with rain sun snow .....o well .........great viewing by the way
Hey I shouldn't have been so negative I didn't watch this video all the way through because this guy is a doing good and I respect anyone that does their own business even on the side because 90%of Americans are afraid to death to take a chance
fire vid only thing i’d suggest for next time, after body filler and before priming if there’s any bare metal left you need to etch the metal to protect it before priming unless your primer is direct to metal
Daamn! would look sick with a blacked out top and some better front head lights but awesome work dude i cant wait to start doing this type of stuff. excited to see more!

@@RosefMudson1414 statistically if he keeps doing this, there is a 100% chance he will encounter cloudy headlights in the future.

When masking off, its best to remove everything that would leave a clear line. For example on the door, remove the mirror, the trim below the window, and the door handle that way your paint is getting everywhere on the panel.
for sure ima do that next time
Lol the kerning city bgm my guy had a good childhood!🔥
i love how there are other vehicles nearby catching tons of over spray from your paint job
I used to flip cars in the early 2000s. It was easy as hell. Most cars Hondas/240sx/toyotas all about 100-500 with issues. I made so much money. I once bought an AE86 for $300. There was a time when this was fun and a good way to make money, but not anymore. These kids now think these old 90s Hondas are worth 16oz gold bullion
It does look way better. Thats why i paint. You shouldve buffed and polished the orange peel though. Bring the shine out a bit more from your clear coat. Make sure you have enough clear on, to do so, if you decide to do it again in the future.
Looks fun and love Acuras! After a quick count, I'm up to 34 RockAuto magnets.
Get a Headlight restoration kit. The hot Cup with chemical steam type. clean sand lights, polish with some 1 2 3 - 5 k paper and then chem steam seal. New lights voila and presto. From one builder to the Next you did Good man! Good Find!
this motivates me to actually figure out what I need to do the body work on my eg civic hatch xD will def follow some steps from this video
Looks great my friend. Best Video that realistically demonstrated DYI Paint and Body. I’ll subscribe
Looks beautiful, great job! I'd take care of those cloudy headlights though, they really stand out now..
Subbed recently but been binge watching your channel bro keep up the content it’s GOATED🔥🐐 Your videos get me hyped to work on my 02 Accord coupe V6 💯 your content is unique bro never change! Peace out from ATL 😎
this is basically me. restoring an ek lmao. its calm while im sanding and doing all prep work then the wind magically comes out when its time to prime the car. i just got a 10x20 tent and going to be placing a tarp under the car when its time to paint lol. now im just waiting for this random californian rain/wind to stop to get to painting
This is something I would love to try myself at home, I first would need a cheap car that I really don't care about to try it on. I would not feel right doing it to a car I drive daily, but it would be cool to try it out on a beater or a cheap car you want to try a fix up and flip. You sir have bigger balls then me. LOL You didn't do 1/2 bad man, nice job.
Quick tip on masking. Tape your perimeter first with only tape. Then use mask and tape. It’s a little more tape but will save time and you’ll have a tighter paint line.
yeah man ive been watching videos lately and it seems thats the norm lol! I'll have to do that next time i do a paintjob! thanks
@@korosumyself Sure thing. Good luck.
Good to have distant neighbors.. if you paint in your driveway 😊
lovely job .....for other headlights use one half of an orange on each headlamp sprinkle each with baking soda and spend around 5 minutes on each one then rinse off ,, thats it dont spare the soda when it goes sprinkle more.......or use both half's of a lemon ... i tried both on different weeks about the same result.....would of been easier if they kept it glass but plastic fades with rain sun snow .....o well .........great viewing by the way
Harbor freight bro for a car canopy will help out with the paint job. Helps with over spray and more controlled painting environment
Hey I shouldn't have been so negative I didn't watch this video all the way through because this guy is a doing good and I respect anyone that does their own business even on the side because 90%of Americans are afraid to death to take a chance
"As an experienced shitbox collector". Say no more, sir. Subscribed.
great job, I love painting my cars in the driveway, Usually wiping over spray off my other cars lol. You did great i love it.
Mad respect! Loved watching the restoration come together, great job!
People never replaces the Serpentine belts, alternators and water pumps. And the spark plugs, simple things that will make a car so much healthier.
fire vid only thing i’d suggest for next time, after body filler and before priming if there’s any bare metal left you need to etch the metal to protect it before priming unless your primer is direct to metal
Thanks for the info!
Daamn! would look sick with a blacked out top and some better front head lights but awesome work dude i cant wait to start doing this type of stuff. excited to see more!
First time in a long time that I’ve seen someone actually get the correct parts from rock auto lol
Next time you fill in a hole or dent, you should use a black guide coat. That will help your lines to be straight.
Kerning City theme alone brought me here, take my mesos and my like.
Clicked on this video randomly. And i really liked it. I don't subscribe to project channels but this video was dope, i had to.
This was awesome bro, the paint job looked great!!
