The fact you restored and brought the Nsx back to life and got it running again after a decade is amazing. I’m not even worried or care about the wing like some. The quality work your guys did are so awesome.
In Australia (where I am) I’m pretty sure this would be a “statutory write-off” and could never be registered again. So glad you guys can restore this 90’s hero to former glory
19:06 love the content as always mate and can’t wait for more work on the viper powered Nissan but as someone that worked in the aviation industry for a long time time i can tell you that you really need to wear a respirator when cutting resin infused carbon fibre. Cheers Pat 🇦🇺
The joy of being able to skip threw ads in a video. Love it. Last time I looked at one of these it had a engine in it, didn't know Honda made a electric motor back then.
Assuming you are going to opt for a custom-fabricated front frame rail and radiator support, these would be the parts and brackets you will need to attach the panels together and ensure the hood sits properly. I'm sure you guys already know this, but just in case. Also, I would check the integrity of your passenger side Pivot Assembly Front Compliance as it should sit flat under the front rail and is not the case here, just a thought. best of luck!

Awesome to see a full front resurrection! I also replaced the complete front end. You can find the whole front left and right chassis on mega zip! I got extra front end parts tap in if you need it
I found the car I bought 3 years ago had also spent a decade in the garage, the mileage, the service checkbook and all the stickers on the car agreed to each other. Runs now since 3 year as (this year's) 30-year old Youngtimer in original design, and when the load is low, it is even allowed to go for it on the german autobahn. Top was 130 mph - anything else than full throttle. Does not produces too much additional wear in 5th gear. And when I have with such an old car a mileage of 26 mpg, I do not stress it too much.

Try using washers / spacers under the fenders to line the body line up with the hood and doors. Many cars use them from the factory. Cheap and easy. Plus it’s a great way to stay in shape.
Happy to see one getting saved! If you need some reference pics of stuff, write me, I’ll go take some pics of stuff on mine if it can help. Gonna follow the restoration:)
NSX content! Loving this build already, especially since rebuilding wrecked ones is prob the only way most of us even have a prayer at owning one. Can't subscribe, cause I already am!
You know your limitations so now it is off to your hired gun, that is smart. You did very good with the frame pull. It was quite ingenious using 2 forklifts straps and physics. Who says you don't use your geometry from school? A nice episode indeed. I'm looking forward to part 2. And yes the full gas tank saved you lots of grief. There was little space left to allow the gas to break down. I suspect the residue is varnish left over from the gas that did go stale. You were very wise in your approach to starting the engine for the 1st time. When this car is done it will turn heads because it is in very good shape for a car this old. Congrats on your persistence.
What a challenge! I remember reading when the NSX was released would be a difficult job with body repair being aluminum structure. This would require repair done by shop experienced repairing structure with special welding technique. With use of carbon fiber pieces would be less difficult repair but I am person that knows nothing about body repair. Looking forward to seeing how this turns out.
I just bought a wrecked Mustang with the whole front end impact bar/ radiator support gone bc these videos make it look way easier than it probably is. Wish me luck bc it’s my first rebuild 🥲
My NSX has a old turbo system that uses Aerocharger turbos . They have their own integ. oil system , no oil feed or return lines to engine. Runs at 10 lbs max boost. Make sure there is screens infront of those i/cs , the road debris will erode them.
Can't say I am a fan of these cars, but definitely an interesting build. I restore 60s/70s cars and I'd gladly take fuel like that vs what I have had to deal with. They always said old gas smells like turpentine but I never smell turpentine to say if that's true lol
Sou admirador este tipo de trabalho.....recuperar um veículo deste porte....sou fã de veiculo esportivo. ..parabens pelo belíssimo trabalho de vcs.....
Those yellow deposits in the fuel tank look like the sulphur deposits I sometimes see in oil boilers. I don't know if gas contains sulphur, but that would explain it.
When the NXS first came out I lived in the San Jose, CA area. The car was STUNNING. I was just a 2nd year (4 yrs to become journeyman) Unnion carpenter. I went down to the NXS dealer and got on the list; i don't remember having to put any money down. About 4 month down the line the dealership called me and said it is your turn to get an NXS. I went and talked with financing and I could have got one EASELY. All I had to do in live in someone garage for free, not eat any food and no dating. I removed my name from the list :-( You said something like "Excited to see it on the road for the first time." It is IN the garage and HASN'T been on the road yet.

omg , an actual smart repairer , none of this " lets hook a battery up and see if it will start after sitting for a decade ", no , he said "many things have to be looked at and inspected before we even think of trying to start it !"
My '91 Accord definitely had a drain plug on the fuel tank, so...when trying to change-out the fuel pump (which did not have an access from inside the car, but the sending unit did...ugh), I had drained all its fuel into one of those Rubbermaid containers you might put shoes in under your bed, and was pushing it down the hallways of my apartment building...until someone called the fire dept.
I was riding a Nissan Z32 in 1993. It came into competition with the NSX on the highway. Once the speed exceeded 100 mph, the Z32 beat the NSX. Because the Z32's turbo torque and NSX are so difficult to repair that you can't venture out.

I wrecked my Fiero and went through a much more mild version of this. I can't wait to see where this goes, very exciting. I'm jealous of your NSX
Dude! So excited to see this! The period correct spoon wrist sweat band over the reservoir brought me back
That 'Elite' sticker on the windshield is from a shop in Laurel, MD.
WHAT?!?! You’re not taking the Lee approach and buying 10 NSXs to fix 1 😀 Good stuff! Thanks for sharing!

I love that the V6 sound on an NSX sounds the same as my 2006 Honda Minivan. Now ima supercharge it with a kit and get that performance
Great video editing for getting at the solution. Surprised when you whipped out the CF bodywork but you do sound like Zac Brown.

Why not pull the car straight or as much as possible with a jig berore removing and damaged panels? It makes re-alignment so much easier.
