Looks really great! That's a nice find. The work you had to do is similar to what I had to do to my Jeep Liberty after I was in a wreck. The steering failed in a double left turn, and I hit a larger SUV beside me. Those Honda Pilots seem pretty nice. Enjoy it!
Great car and the body work looks solid for what you can do! I had a similar XM isimple Bluetooth unit for my old accord ran thru the xm it worked super well glad your taking advantage of that feature many people use those stupid fm things instead lol.
@Ryan Gehret Super work friend. You might not be a "body" guy but your work looks so darn good your efforts are BETTER than the typical "pro" that gets paid big money. I'm no SUV fan either but Honda got this exterior design spot on with their heritage, it looks handsome, and businesslike it's the great old classic design that "Golden Era" Honda's had. Interior also look great! Enjoy your new old car!
that pilot was prob better made then the current pilots. i test drove the highlander and pilot, both 2017 at the time. i couldnt get over the fact honda made the new pilots look like a VAN LOL. the older ones were much nicer with an traditional SUV styling.
I recently hit a bump with a 2007 crv, it prematurly deployed the driver seatbelt like yours except no air bags went off... Apparantly the "seatbelt grapple" as I like to call it is the "phase one" to the system and since I didnt actually get in an accident no airbags... The seatbelt design is one of the dumbest things and tons of people have the searbelts go off prematurly by bumps in the road... I got no help from honda even though they say life time seatbelt warrenty they just want to sell me a new crv... I don't want a new earthdreams crv I'm done going there don't even bother asking for parts because buckle alone is worth $600 according to them... No safer than a regular seatbelt, infact I would argue it's actually more dangerous, the smoke it produced after ruining the buckle and retracter is toxic and as it pulls the buckle it gives you nice bruises... Some safety honda plus airbag recalls... I had to replace the buckle and retracter myself and I must say I give honda a thumbs down and middle finger with that whole system, id opt out if I had my say... This is unnessary technology made just for $$$ now I still have airbag light same as you and need a new inspection so i dont think it will pass like that... Stupid problems from honda costing me money when they should just have normal seatbelts! That's why I like my 99 civic it's simple and reliable. Rant over.
@@accordinglyryan yeah man i'm thinking about sending the SRS module to safety restore on ebay... hopefully that fixes the airbag light l, let me know if you get it repaired and how it goes, great work so far man!
@@accordinglyryan that would have been badass though but saying as the majority of people that bought these new probably didnt know how to drive a manual it makes since, nice car though man you did a good job, im currently fixing up my 2006 corolla.
The one dislike is from the guy who wanted to buy this on copart
Sucks to be him

Thanks! I'm liking it so far
Was wondering if you were gonna post a vid about this! Really nice transformation!
Decided to save it for when I was done this time. Thanks dawg
Damn! Came out pretty nice!
Taco Holder 🌮😂. Great pickup, glad things worked out 👍🏼!
Man, this thing looks great for being as old as it is! Definitely scored in finding one that was meticulously maintained!
I couldn't pass it up, despite its previous damage!
Nice! I have a 2007 Honda Pilot EX-L and 2016 Honda Pilot Touring. My mom owns the 2016 Pilot since August after the 08 odyssey was sold.
Hey nice to see a new video from you Ryan! Long time no videos!
I make at least one a month lol

I dunno about that but thanks lol. I agree, I quite like how these look. Thanks!

Thanks!
In the Middle East, the Pilot is called the MRV
I noticed that, someone in a Pilot group on Facebook posted pictures of one lol
@@accordinglyryan I had a buddy of mine who actually used to own one of those MRVs and he liked it

Yeah SRS work is not at all cheap lol. Sorry that happened to you

@@ArcadeMachine15 Yeah I'm considering doing the same for this one at some point. Thanks man!
Looks good
you wont believe it, I came from your video of you upgrading to a core i5 3330 9 years ago, lmao
Oh I believe it lol. Never thought those videos would still be getting views
@@accordinglyryan recommended to me yesterday lol. youtube lookin out for you
Did you make sure the used airbag you bought wasn’t recalled?
The ad said it wasn't, that's all the proof I have LOL
Looks almost like my neighbor’s Pilot but it is in much better shape
Yeah I see a ton of these on the road but they're all kinda beat loi
so u ahve 3 hondas now?
Yep lol
been watching this come together on instagram. Question was a manual transmission an option for honda pilots?
Nah lol

@@Danuvox117 They would have sold approximately 3 manual Pilots
