One thing I wanted to point out that I noticed right away was the the passenger seat bolster was actually pretty worn. Think about that for a second. 99% of these cars you would only see the drivers seat showing all the wear but in this car, they BOTH rode in and enjoyed this car together(A LOT). Pretty cool story all around. Thank you LHT!
@@LHTPerformance do they have a son?, when the unfortunate time comes maybe they could pass it on to you. I love those cars and hate see them sit away rusting.
John: You have done many wonderful things over the years since I met you and brought my then white S2K. This restoration is right at the top. YOUR blessings are going to overflow your life for what you, Esther and George did for this special couple. Honored to say I know you my friend. Well done👍
Unbelievable levels of that legendary LHT TLC. The Honda community could use 1000 more like you guys. Thank you for being a bright spot in our community!
What a great way to end my day arriving home. Normally I watch your vids on my phone, but I knew this was meant for the big screen. Made myself a cup of coffee, and casted it to my big screen TV, and watch this while the sunset was going down. Absolute magic. Well done everyone involved.
So much epicness in this video. A type r not only being driven daily as it should but by an elderly couple. Then a community coming together to bring it back to life. Amazing
If this footage isn’t one of the best testaments to the power of social media , then I minus well quit this UA-cam thing. Watching this reminded me of the passion that my younger self once had for Automotive . 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Thank you guys, we all should be more like that. Doing good deeds because we can!
That was amazing - knowing that the last years they'll share in that R will be so much more pleasant. You all did such a kind thing making this happen. As a side, with all the detailing, engine, and suspension work in a compressed time - get and wear more disposable gloves!
Wao , looks gorgeous 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 great job guys. Hopefully they can enjoy it a lot more time. God bless grandma and grandpa and everyone who helped this project to be done.
Best car story on UA-cam. I have an Fk8 here in Australia but my dad is a Toyota guy, a lot like Bill , driving a 2006 Toyota Celica ZR with 160,000 km . He hits Vvtl-i( sorry Honda guys ) He’s just turned 84 and still takes it out once a week to keep it all ticking nicely. LHT are the best Car channel on UA-cam 👍
This was so freaking awesome, God bless you all for doing this for Bill and his Type R. It must felt great to put that much effort into making this unicorn look and perform better. Class Act people. Great to see the car community getting together to help out Bill. That type r looks 🔥🔥🔥
You are a good man sir, I wish we could see more stories like this in appreciation of people with unique passions that inspire. God bless you guys at LHT. Great job and keep it going as much as possible.
I am 51 years old and I grew up in that ITR era. Watching this brought back so much memories. No Lie but I teared up after watching this video, specially how gramps hit the Vtec RPM! Great job guys!
Oooooooooohhhhh, God! What a beautiful story, of a beautiful car, owned by a beautiful couple, and "revived" by beautiful people! Amazing, AMAZING stuff! 😍😍😍
Wow!!! What an amazing transformation! Thank you John, George, and Esther for the time and effort that went in to this rejuvenation and thanks to all those that donated!!!
If I’m blessed enough to be alive at 86, and able to drive, I wanna be like Bill! You guys really brought this car back. What a nice thing to do and great video!
Thank you to the people at LHT Performance and to those of the public who donated money,time, parts and sweat to do something nice for these elderly folks and in the restoration of a car that should just not go to waste. Hats off to you and kudos.
That was so awesome. You guys are an inspiration and great examples of how we all should be. I guarantee someone somewhere is going to help somebody in need because of what you George and Esther did on and off of this video. Thanks for giving!
I love that he bought this for himself at 64 and at 86 he asked could you do something about the valve cover because it looked like crap. You are a legend Bill.
Ive been watching for awhile since i had my s2k but If I'm ever on the east coast, just because of this, I'll only go to this shop for my car needs. Things like this that show just what a business is and what they care about.
Class act Sir !!! Living in Idaho... If I ever get to Florida Sir, I Will say thank You in person to You and your crew. Class act. Any to all that donated... KUDOS to You. Faith in Humanity at it's finest This is paying it forward..
I love to see those gramps and grannies driving that type of cars, young at heart. I remember a great lady friend of mine driving her navy blue manual trans Corvette better than a teen would, not to mention she already had a history of Austin Healeys, MRS and an Austin Marina behind her, Japanese and German makes too!
This is so cool! What a great story! Kudos to everyone at LHT Performance, and everyone who was nice enough to donate to make this man's Type R a beauty once again!
Legends. This is fantastic. I know you ran out of time but the strut bar decal is still available new last I checked. Easy to replace. Smart move to flip it around to hide the holes.
Kudos to you three John for your generous elbow grease and well-done to anyone who contributed to restoring this beauty for this lovely couple. LHT TLC for the win!
I swear that is the coolest thing ever! Guy is awesome, and his wife! So dope how into it they are, he really seems to enjoy that thing… The best part is he actually drive it ! and it’s pristine!
This made my day. I’ve seen Bill drive by me with that same hat for years and always thought it was so cool to see someone of his age driving it. Kudos to LHT!
most underrated automotive youtube channel! i am building my s2000 on my channel and i pull a lot of inspiration from LHT and the effort/quality they put into each build. I can always appreciate a master of their craft and i hope to be an s2k expert one day.
The car transformation is amazing ! You guys did an excellent job its hard to believe with just 3 days of elbow grease this was the result . Keep up the great work guys
Hey John. I know it's early in the year, but I'm gonna go ahead and call it... this is the feel-good story of 2022.🤗 What a wonderful thing you've done for these fine people. Bill and his wife are so cool... absolute treasures. Huge thank you to the car community for their donations and to you, George, and Esther for putting in all the hard work and long hours to make this happen.👍 Long live LHT Performance! We love you guys!💙

Yea. I was so happy to see they both use it. I’m guilty of keeping my cars mint for the next guy. When we should enjoy them.
Good point! I am normally driving my ITR solo.
An elderly couple tearing up the streets in an ITR together. I love it.
Gotta love it
@@LHTPerformance do they have a son?, when the unfortunate time comes maybe they could pass it on to you. I love those cars and hate see them sit away rusting.
I aim to be like this old man when I’m his age. Respect to him and his supportive wife ✊🏼
Hell yea!

There’s a lot of good people out there. You only hear about the bad ones. Kinda how the worlds works unfortunately.
Thanks!
I think I was grinning the entire video, especially when Bill rolled into Vtec. This warms the soul✌️
Amazing story, he made a great choice 20 years ago. I loved seeing that diamond in the rough come back to life. You did a great thing here.

A true enthusiast. 86 years old and still rowing gears. I hope I get to be that old and do the same. God bless you guys for doing this.
Amazing results. So much respect for doing this for them. Well deserved.

I love it how he casually drops it into 2nd and floors it!
So refreshing to see this. My Dad who’s 81 and I recently bought a GD3 Fit Manual we fixed and he loves driving the car.
John you are awesome and your generosity is just outstanding.
I got emotional watching this. as a Honda guy this is one of the best videos I've watched!
