another nice simple project :) the black out tape was a good easy solution, taking off all those stickers from everywhere on the car and restoring the black trim was quite satisfying the car is not perfect but it will be the perfect car for the new owners
Great work man! Looks just like this Civic that a sales guy I know has, except his is green. He’s had it for years and still gets him great gas mileage.
I agree with everything but the tape! and also when you powerwashed it the distributor wasnt covered,,you guys are awesome I just own 2 99 Civics and I am passionate about them,,,,SALUTE!!
Brakes and taillight issues are fixed!! The car now runs and drives great and it is ready to be driven away. Video proof updated in FB listing. Lmk if you're interested! First $2,500 takes it :) Thank you
Not bad for the budget. But if you went to so much trouble for paint prep I would just go with the spray guy and matching paint. Matching paint would’ve cost you 50 bucks and but it would look near perfect. Also you should’ve addressed the breaks at it’s maybe not expensive repair but on the listing when is says it must be towed is a big red flag for a lot of potential customers
@@adinchina1I also thought that he could had sourced a used exhaust from the junkyard or finding someone that is parting out a Civic on FB marketplace for a decent price.
this is just a comment to go out to anyone. dents and glass cleaning are your friend for low end cheap repairs, just takes time. get the panel off/disassembled if needed and just tap it out with something with a small or flat impact until it looks even just a little better. windshield rock chip repairs, get a cheap resin glass repair kit and just put some rainx stuff on it and itll look much better.
I thought the same. Harbor freight dent pulling kit or something. Looked for some junk yard cosmetic parts too: shocked he attempted to sell without fixing the brake line
@ just a regular rubber hammer, wood and tons of patience goes a long ways to make fender dents better, but pullers can strip paint. i’m talking more like the cheapest repair method for the >500 dollar cars
True. Lots of good points but he’s simple builds and will be doing some work on subscribers cars and on this challenge. A couple hundred bucks at HF and he’ll have some decent stuff for channel work
The brake line should have been done. The fact that the new driver can't drive it away is going to end up costing you (likely more than the brake line fix).
I have been waiting to see what your next project was going to be and just discovered this new series of flipping cars which I think it's a great idea. However I suggest on focusing more on the quality of the restoration to be able to sell the car for more money. First of all I suggest investing in getting your own battery charger. I had bought one my self from Harbor freight and it has paid for it's self already by charging my cars batteries multiple times. Second you could had gotten a used exhaust and other trim pieces from someone that was parting out a civic on FB marketplace if you don't have a salvage yard near by. Third I recommend improving your work and skills on paint work. A simple 4k coat of clear followed by wet sanding and then buffing the whole car would had made it look great.
Beautiful transformation, also the torch method is amazing idk why people hate on it. Plastic restore alone doesnt work long term on super sun faded stuff like that (ask me how I know)
Normally love your work. This one started rough and the work on it was rough for me. I get you wanted a quick video though and will serve a purpose. I just think with a bit more effort and not a lot more money, it could have been far more presentable
hey! I already saw a similar comment but I might as well shoot my shot. earlier this year my grandmother on my mothers side died an unexpected preventable death due to a bedsore formed in a physically rehab facility. Due to the fact that my moms an only child raised by her and I’m my moms only child it hit us and especially her quite hard. I was driving my own car at the time, but I currently drive my grandmothers 97 Honda civic coupe due to my old car breaking (which I’m beyond grateful to have). It is mechanically in great condition sans needing a new muffler but could use a solid detail like scratch and dent correction repaint rims trim clean up etc. I’m not sure where you’re located but I would love to surprise my mom with showing her the revitalizing she always wanted to give the car while her mom was here. let me know if you can help!
Would have been a good possible swap into a hatch shell. Hatch is worth a lot more. The crv you did was good. Probably the best flip. All the best to you.
People just don't know how to take care of cars. I personally own a 95 Integra that I have had for over 20 years. I have kept it in good condition because I have always waxed and maintained it myself well.
The tape is a neat trick but I'd honestly have pulled the trim off of the passenger side and put the tape on that side in it's place so both sides matched. Knowing how to weld or knowing a friend that welds could have been a quick fix for that muffler too. Your price point on the finished product isn't too far off from what I've seen in my area. Trouble is finding the $500 sample that is in actually running condition. Most people here are still wanting at least $2 for a non running car and some are asking that much for just a rolling shell (no motor or trans). It seems like you have to have a deal fall into your lap (like this one did for you) or know somebody to get the cars you can actually flip for a profit even if you are doing all the work and cutting corners with parts.
“quick and easy” & “not over complicating this build” sounds like an excuse after seeing some of corners cut for this to be “fixed/flipped”. at least for 2500, this should get a lil more love before it becomes someone else’s headache, just my opinion tho
Love the videos, but I feel like the costs for the car are unrealistic. $500 for a running civic? It’s virtually impossible to find a similar car in that price range on FB marketplace. Still looking forward to the build and I love your channel.
Absolutely not unrealistic if you know where and how to look! Maybe I'll share that in an upcoming episode. Although this car was from a subscriber, deals like this can definitely be found!
It certainly is unrealistic where I live. People around here are asking as high as 2K for a rolling shell with no motor or transmission in the car at all.
@@SmplBuilds it is definitely unrealistic dude. this is running and driving. not ever happening in this market. getting cars from subscribers for a "challenge" isnt really a challenge.
@SmplBuilds but why not repair the car completely? Was hoping u would be a bit more serious in this series and not continue to do the bare minimum and autozone tune up. But that's just me.
@@TheTechnoaddictthis is ALSO the point of the channel. Simple. We have got enough channels on Yt who try to make the perfect build and luckily seem to find every part and piece for a car for cheap. This channel is honest and real
I liked the channel when you put effort into thevideos. this is just lazy dude.,..extended a long ass video for a simple car wash and tape?Lmfao bro come on.
UPDATE! Civic sold today for $2,500!
Happy Thanksgiving!
Thanksgiving is happy
@@SmplBuilds was the guy blind😅
Duuudee LFG!
Hurray! cant wait to see the next vid man congrats
Landlord special on the civic. bang bang
I would’ve pulled the black trim off the other side and used the tape over there too so it would match.
New owner can do whatever they want with it but not a bad suggestion!
Totally agree. You could even give the next owner the trim pieces if they ever want to go dig up a matching set.
another nice simple project :)

Crazy how he listed the brake lines as the only con, meanwhile the car is missing a whole exhaust
It's just a little loud lol. Car runs and drives and the big issue was the brakes
Fixing the brake lines now!
@@SmplBuilds that’s good 👍 see btw if maybe you can get the exhaust from a junkyard?

Working on fixing that right now! Just fixed lines and bleeding brakes and it should be fixed 👌🏼
Love it man, you seem to know just what needs attention & what isn't really as important!
having a budget is great but i definitely would’ve liked to see a more in depth build on this car
Maybe for the next one 👍🏻
I really loved this ep!! Excited for the next🙌🏽
Loving the consistency 🔥

Sad to see someone with so much potential cut corners like this.
It’s a quick flip bro he could have not recorded at all
Yeah I just stopped the video very disappointed 😢 and unsubscribe not giving my energy to laziness

I’d include the broken off part of the exhaust, just in case someone wants re-weld it/fix it
It's in the trunk with the car 👍🏻
Fair play showing the fiesta didn’t go to plan, good luck with the next one 🤙
Looks great, im sure a parent will get this as a starter for there child, awesome job man i would buy it like that for 2,500 quick!
Love seeing you back to your roots
Appreciate it Ken!
Would have been a good possible swap into a hatch shell. Hatch is worth a lot more.
The crv you did was good. Probably the best flip. All the best to you.
Is always feel good to see these old machines well treated like this, they will be ready to run for another 10 years!
Looks like all the civics I’ve ever seen. Half way to the junk yard.
People just don't know how to take care of cars. I personally own a 95 Integra that I have had for over 20 years. I have kept it in good condition because I have always waxed and maintained it myself well.

Perfect timing! And I have a similar vehicle, I’ll be taking some notes of this video. Thank you!
You still helping people fix their cars on a budget lol I’m in Cali
Brake lights are on because it’s low on fluid from the leak
They were on from a gromet missing on the brake pedal. Fixed it yesterday
freaking awesome bud looks great after the paint
Appreciate that!!
@ $875 you can atleast weld a flex pipe on it
Should’ve taken the trim off the pass side and do the tape also.
“quick and easy” & “not over complicating this build” sounds like an excuse after seeing some of corners cut for this to be “fixed/flipped”. at least for 2500, this should get a lil more love before it becomes someone else’s headache, just my opinion tho
For the right buyer the car is worth it and a great price. Also just fixed the brakes and taillight issue
Can you do a 2012 Civic build? I have one and would love to have inspiration with that gen
Bro is a wizard with a spray can
A dealership owner screws another person, no surprises there. Great work on the build!
Just so you know, it's not an ex trim as you posted it on facebook market. The ex comes with a sunroof. Good flipping anyways.
cool content bro keep it up jersey love
How much do you guys charge to tint a 2 door coupe I saw on the website you guys do it
Nice work. You just saved another Civic going junkyard 👍
Hey. What kind of lift do you have? Been wanting to get one. Yours kinda seems like the ones at discount tires.
Please let me know!
any reason you used the torch to 'wake up' the trim instead of just using your heat gun?
Heat gun takes 100x longer
Where do you do your work? Are you renting that garage bay? I'm looking for something like that in my area.
You should see if you can flip a new edge mustang
Just in time for lunch break
Same bro
What is the name of the microphone you use?
What store did you use to recharge battery
Autozone 👍🏻
Excited 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Now it’s like fishing. Just waiting for a bite…
Are you giving back the money from the canceled giveaway?
Are you willing to work on local subscribers cars
Honestly I thank you should’ve changed the oil
You forgot to mention the exhaust problem in your post.
Fixed that. Thanks!
Day 1 of me asking for you to pimp out my 2001 Honda civic because Im broke but I really love this car.
Nice 👍
Junk yard run wouldn't hurt
Wait what happen to the giveaway Gti ? Did I miss something? Lol
Yeah the update was posted on all of my socials.
@SmplBuilds oh okay I just saw it yeah I don't blame you for taking it down if thier is no profit. But still enjoying the content 🙌
What about the missing lug nuts
What about em?
Awesome
wish cars in my country were $500 😭
Yo under 1min gng here
I'd be down to buy it
Just added the link in the description 👍🏻
You just removed over 100hp in stickers😂
Why not just do a scrap yard run... half ur stuff would been 90 bucks instead if the chrome china handle an black tape
@frankies9202 i looked! Junk yard came in clutch though for EP 3. Coming today at 12PM est
U lost me with the blackout tape🤷♂️
Haha temporary fix. New owner can buy the new trim and remove the tape easily and throw on new trim
@SmplBuilds but why not repair the car completely? Was hoping u would be a bit more serious in this series and not continue to do the bare minimum and autozone tune up. But that's just me.
@TheTechnoaddict it's a $500 car with a small budget. As the budget increases the cars will get better and budgets will be higher
@@TheTechnoaddictthis is ALSO the point of the channel. Simple. We have got enough channels on Yt who try to make the perfect build and luckily seem to find every part and piece for a car for cheap. This channel is honest and real
@CFCVideos it doesn't need to be perfect. Just a little more dept as this. The black-out tape is what some not so thrust worthy salesman would do.
I liked the channel when you put effort into thevideos. this is just lazy dude.,..extended a long ass video for a simple car wash and tape?Lmfao bro come on.
This is about a trade/ flip series. It will only get better from here
I feel like he did a good bit in this video bro. Could he have done more? I guess.
tape looks trashy af to me, much rather woukld have left those clips on.
It peels right off if new owner doesn't like it
Hey you sold that to my dad lmao😂
1st ex I’ve seen without a sunroof.
My apologies it is a DX
@ no need to apologize I thought you had a unicorn LOL. Have a happy and safe Thanksgiving!!!
I'm always so early
30 cent lug stud swap to hard ...
To auto chyba kupi tylko niewidomy bo tragedia
The tape ruined the build
It peels off in 2 seconds if new owner buys the trim lol
What's your dream car?🥹
