    I cannot begin to express the joy I had in watching this video. I used to own one of these Honda's. I purchased one when I lived in LA 1991. When I purchased this car it was just a few years old, but it looked brand, spankin' news. Man, how I loved that car! When I moved back to NY, I drove it across the country in just 4-days! But, sadly enough, that's when I lost the car. It started with one break in, then another break in, then it was vandalized and I finally just sold it because I didn't want to keep dumping money into repairs and glass replacements. Still, of all the cars that I owned, this one was one of my favorites. So, watching this restoration video was especially enjoyable for me! You do fantastic work, my friend.

    There's just something about these late 80s to late 90s Honda's that seems magical. Engineered with such attention to detail, yet simplistic enough to take apart. Every part had a purpose and was designed to be as easy to remove as it is to put on. That being said, your work and car is gorgeous. A true craftsman and artist.

    Wow, it came out amazing, not to mention going by the OEM+ route is in my opinion the best way to go when it comes to these 90's cars. Always had a soft spot for these generation of CRX's and Second Generation Eclipses since i was a kid, yet i always remember this gen's CRX everywhere back in highscool. In my opinion, 90's cars has always had a special charm that hasn't been able to be replicated with today's cars.

If I ever could go back I'd make it a point to buy one and learn to fix it (probably while still living at home when the value of money was relative). Great video, work and vehicle.

I worked the whole summer trying to make enough money for a down payment that never happened, but I sure wanted a honda. I bought my first Honda in 1999 and that's still my brand after 24 yrs.

    ​@practice4617 thats funny i got in so much trouble with mine. It was a 90 but automatic. Still the funnest car ive ever owned. Could take corners at 55 and still had grip. Amazing.

    Mad mad props! That end result is sooooooo worth it, and huge W for keeping it mostly stock and preserving what the CRX was meant to be. I hope I can get a CRX one day.

    Beautiful work, CRXSeth! Friday the 13th, 1987, my "Future Ex-Wife to Be" dreamed about a car wreck early that morning and told me all the details about it. We drove around that day in our silver and grey CRX and we took the "shortcut to Mom's house" and while getting on the highway, WHAM! we got hit from behind and everything she explained about the dream happened in exact detail. It was a great little car but talk about a totaled car and my totaled spine! I've owned 13 Hondas and have a EBP 1999 Civic Si with 371K on the odometer. Excellent video editing and wonderful job on the CRX! Drive it until the wheels fall off!!

    Man this brings me back to my teens. My grandmother used to have a CRX, and I didn't take it when she died because I was too busy screwing around with a Del Sol. This makes me regret not taking it when I had the chance. Great job on this one. Super clean. I'm vicariously living my rebuild dreams through you.
