Dude you need to start a series of saving junk yard cars. You could make some serious money and gain a lot of subs from content like this.

Man craziest part is he did it in 20 minutes

Car $300 Engine $250 Know how = Priceless

I was never a Honda fan but damn, your determination with this makes me want to do a side project. Nice job my man

love the fact you showed what didn't work

"It's not about what you can buy. It's about what you can build."

You're an inspiration to broke mfs like me. You can turn nothing into something w ease. You have a great gift and I appreciate you sharing your knowledge with us!

6:28 the timing of that lol "so fragile"

He said like 10 words and this is like one of the best videos I’ve seen. Lol dope

My bestfriend worked his ass off to get this exact car, a Honda Prelude and he loved it so much, he was so hyped to be getting into the car scene but unfortunately he got into a bad accident and didn’t make it. I really enjoyed this video and all the hard work you put into your builds and projects and I hope you keep doing what you’re doing and having fun with it! Edit: thank you guys so muchfor all the likes, this is the only time ive really went into a comment section to speak on something like this lol, im glad you guys have hearts and i wish the best for all of you! im doing very well and just got my own house in Florida! Never stop working hard for what you want

Don't down play the car. The car was shit. You did a great job. That car will be better and better . Keep putting in that great work bro. Thanks for sharing.

My favorite part was when he talked about the deal he made for the car with his friend who owed him $300.

“You don’t have to be be good at the stuff” Replaces engine

When I was younger, I wanted a $30,000 car at the dealer or must have a new car. Now I’m older, I learn how to like these older car Honda cars.

This is the dude you want on your team in the apocalypse. Always have a functional vehicle to scout for supplies and stuff

Im glad you saved this Prelude from certain destruction! They're too sp3cial to let go to waste

16:21 "the paint doesn't look perfect"... dawg it's solid like hell

Dude! There is no need for you to make any excuses, the hard work you put into that job, and the skills in which you demonstrated and the time you put in, dude, you are the man!!!! Very good job! I can't wait to see what you do next. Take good care of yourself and much success to you bro!

I would be proud to drive a car like this. I grew up really poor in Hawai'i, I built and flipped used bicycles and worked up to motorcycles. Having something decent looking and really reliable is priceless, especially when your young and figuring things out. I remember when your channel first started out, you're doing good work!!

Thanks for being strait enough to show the mistake...many wouldn't have included that...honorable.

Holy crap I remember when you had less than 5k subscribers

wish you had and actual bodyshop and paint booth hope thats what your going for

if it had friends like yours, life would be a lot easier...

“You don’t have to be good at that stuff 10:34 [ lifts car ]

You should definitely do a junkyard rescue series like another commenter said, this was an incredible turn around!

I appreciate how you encourage others and your humility. You’ve kept it too simple to misunderstand. Just try and see what you learn from it.

Can’t imagine how you would make a car look with an unlimited budget, these projects are insane none the less man keep it up loving the content!!

Ngl, I wouldn’t put my time and effort in restoring a Honda like that, but props to this guy. It came out really nice

700 dollars and a lot of love makes an old Honda happy, by saving it from it's end.

I bought a $300 car, I haven't worked on cars much and so it is sitting in my garage, you gave me inpiration! I am going to put some effort into learning about cars. Thanks!

Since he does need money to make these kind of builds and we want to see more, let get my mans to 1mil !

I'm glad there are people in this world with the knowledge, patience, and passion for stuff like this. Swapping an engine seems like the most complicated thing in the world to me.

79th's the kind of guy to loan you $300 and call it even for a car considered scrap metal. I think that's cool.

"the paint doesn't look perfect" - Uh yeah dude, you did it outside, not gonna be any better than that, despite that... it still looks pretty damn good considering it's a $50 paint job. I say it's good to go.

Had a 96 prelude for over 10 years and loved it. Fun toy, then moved to an evo 9. I’m still a Honda fan!

a prelude is truly a phenomenal car to have in high school. i'm going into senior year and my daily is a black 4th gen

Name ur channel low budget goon. Everyone else fighting to rebuild ther next super car you sir can inspire lots of more people. Good luck!

You sir just proved that anyone can build their dream in a low budget...Love your work man😊😊

Justin, What your doing is your inspiring the entire Car Enthusiast Community to continue having faith and believe that hardwork really pays of. I am one of the car enthusiast that you inspire to keep the drive forward. I own a Mitsubishi and a Honda and not stopping to go for more. I have never appreciate the value until I reached my mid 40’s and realized that it’s a very good investment and a feeling to own one. God bless you too my brother and can’t wait for you to start with your new project...

Hell yes. I bought a 98 Lude a year ago, stock with matching numbers, clean body and paint still good from being garage kept. Only downside is it's high mileage (bought at 232k, now at 241), but it still rides smooth and I love it. I just got a 08 Civic as my new daily. I'm holding onto my Lude tho. Probably gonna get the motor rebuilt next year.

if you clear have coated it, give it a polish and wax it will look 1000 times better

when a car is brought back to life and still not good looking who cares, it's still a car and looks nice for the person who did it for themselves.

Man you could turn Water in to Wine 🍷!!!!😎

F22 engine is solid, my 2nd car was a '95 Accord EX-L with the F22, 5 speed manual, I ran that thing 2.5 years and put 63K miles on it and then sold it, I always regretted selling it, lol.

Its not about what you can afford, its about what you can build!

God bless you Sir. You are a very hard working man.

This makes me want to go to a junk yard a fix a car even tho I don’t know a thing about cars lol

i always hate on honda owners but i will say this is a true passion for building cars. sure you can own the benz, the ferrari, the whatever, but this is true passion of automobiles. kudos to you man. you're as real as they come.

We need more people like you. I’m really against junking older cars.

Why no clear coat :( Clear coating would've looked like a legit paint job

My man has got a good head on his shoulders. A little heart and effort goes a long way. Great job.

This is what we need. Not everyone has enough money to completely restore a car to factory conditions and it looks a 100% better. Great job guys. The only additional thing I would do is clear coat but it still looks good.

My dude. You have inspired me to save some beautiful classics from the junk yard. Amazing knowledge and editing skills. Love the channel and please keep it up. God bless

it's hard to find people like you who giving an second chance to those old beauties

I’m not a fan of Honda’s but you did a outstanding job ... just gained another sub

I love this video. Every time someone restores a car instead of junking it (especially enthusiast cars) it makes me happy. Stop destroying these cars, they’re works of art. Also when that wheel cracked. I felt your pain 😤

He literally built his own car for pennies on the dollar. I wish I had this level of commitment and patience.

I have to give the guy credit. Damn good job. Watched every minute when I wasn’t even expecting to.

I love this ❤️...no excessive talking...just straight to the point...love what do... you're an inspiration bro

I am extra jelly about this one. I had a Black 92 Prelude Si. The engine was replaced before I got it and I drove it for about 5 years before the engine ended up blowing. It had damage done to the front bumper and driver side fender but it was still running. I had to sell it cause the apartment complex I stayed in at the time didnt allow me to keep on property not running. I sold to a guy for $500 and didnt see it again. I wish I couldve replaced the engine and kept it running. Those cars are full of power and good on gas. I still have aftermarket taillight covers and headlight covers for it. Good work keeping a Prelude on the road. It sucks they only made 3 generations of these cars.

Not into cars. But, I am into watching people be inspirational! Great job!

I love how you chose the perfect song after the wheel cracked. I literally laughed out loud at 6:27.

Always better when you have friends and family who know what they're doing

Two steps left out for anyone doing a budget paint job and wanting the paint to look way glossier than this should wetsand and buff the paint before removing tape and putting trim back on. It'll make a huge difference in how your paint job looks.

"Work hard in silence... Let the success be the noice!!!"

A good tip when you paint wheels. Just use playing cards, slots so easy in between the tire and the rim.

Honestly I came into this thinking it was a rice vid. Pleasantly surprised, I'll think twice about placing judgement an old beater with a rattle can paint rolling down the road. You never know the whole story.

Bro, you're a great example and I'm sure your kids and family are very fortunate to have you in their lives. GOD bless you too.

I love your videos I don't know you are just such an inspiring dude with a hell of a message!! Good karma

Thank you KZfaq algorithm for recommending this video. Now Im inspired to become a car mechanic 🙏🏽

This brought me tears of joy seeing how you guys brought this old Honda back to life. You are awesome!

This is the quality content i love to watch. Turning a junk car to drivable good condition car to a great turbo sleeper. Giving the message not everybody have the loads of money or sponsorship from high end endorsement parts and tools, but having the talent and passion for what you're doing is what makes it awesome to watch and be inspired to it. Justin of 79th production, YoungStatic, AlldayAnthony, Chrisfix, Ericthecarguy are few examples of those that I watch on a daily and learn from.

I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again. Justin is the most humble car KZfaq out there right now. He represents the people! I love guys like tavarish and hoovie. But we all know that none of us are gonna build a lambo. But I’m sure most of us could afford a build like this. Keep doing you Justin! God bless

i don’t even know how this video found me, but i’m glad it did. that’s a job well done

There is something so satisfying about watching an old car get fresh paint

Imagine half way through spraying and that one little fella in sky with wings decides it wants too fly over and add its own little touch too the finish "devastated" 😂🙈 on a serious note.. Well done for what you do mate your work is awesome and inspiring. Top bloke! 👍

This video has inspired me to continue with my own Honda prelude build!!

The dudes comment has 10 k likes .. I think everyone would like to see u do this more often !

Bro id rock that mafukka all day i love that style the white wheels with the black that looks smooth💯💯💯🖤

Maybe the paint isn't fancy, but I would drive this proudly knowing i did it myself. thanks for saving a 90's honda

wet sand and polish goes a long way on a cheap paint job, give her some gloss 👍

You’re really an inspiration though, you’re not like the other channels out there that are getting Supras, Skylines, etc., to restore. You stay true to budget building. Thanks for the inspiration.

Mad respect to this guy .. Honestly admire his work and complete honesty . Good video home skillet G unit

Nothing wrong with working on a cheap beater. I love the fact that your not doing this in a fancy garage with big expensive tools, pure shade tree mechanic. Loved watching it.

Very inspirational you should start a gofundme I’d contribute

I've always loved the body style of that era Prelude. 1994-1996. They got funky with those squared off head lights in '97

I was waiting for you to say "The car wasn't worth $300. . . But now it is". Great work!

I bought a run down 2005 TL for 2k. It had 195k miles on it. I spent another 2k getting it running. Most of it was labor. The parts were cheap. I am now at 230k miles. The car is pretty reliable.

Being able to re-acquire & restore your 1st car on a budget is pretty damn sweet. Figure lotta folks would like that chance as well. Good work brah and keep fixing and we can watch and keep learning too!

Fastest way to learn is to have some one show you how its done, i learned how to paint buy trial and error took me years because i had no one to show me. If i would have had some one showing me what NOT to do i would have learned in a couple of weeks what took me years to perfect but its hard to find people willing to give up the time. Great job man !

Yes! Prelude power!! Can't wait to see what you have planned for it!

I love this kind of stuff. You are an inspiration to other guys. This is the same kind of hot rodding as guys were doing in the 1950s. Buy a cheap car and learn on it. I'll bet you're an expert on changing that head gasket after doing it 3 times. You are so right. That's how you learn. The only difference between you and those early hot rodders is the kind of cars you are working on. More power to you. and God bless you for showing others there is nothing to fear. I'm 75 years old and I know. I'm glad to see young people working on cars. This shows that hot rodding will never die. SUBSCRIBED

Can smell the sweat and engine grease watching this.. tough work, I love how you kept the whole process in the video. New sub 💪

I honestly think you deserve more views and subscribers your such a humble and hard working guy! Keep up the great work ill definitely be telling my friends about you! Have a great day and I hope you turn this into a series! And the car looks GREAT!

Not a single bag of noodles was used _Disappointed_

I use to have one of those when I was living back home in New Zealand then I sold before I moved to Australia.. loved that little car..

Man you really turned that car around. From where it was, to where it is, great transformation my guy.

It's also about the time you can invest, if you work full time. Great finish!

This guy with the tire machine looks like an artist painting something :D

inspirational. that was my very first car. made me tear up watching this
