The heat gun method unfortunately doesn't last long.....better to use a quality trim restorer to add back some moisture. Same with headlights. A sand and polish with clearcoat means whoever buys the car won't have it go back to crap in less than a month.
Gotta agree heat gun brings back the oils in the trim but within a week it'll look faded again. Trim restorer or even a cheap ceramic coating will bring back that trim and will stay the life of the coating
Good profit to be made still, but a CRV with that mileage usually sells in the $3K range (from what I seen in my state). Easy $ still, love watching the video!
I did something similar, had a 2007 Honda CRV, I was the second owner, first owner never cared enough to change all the factory parts so I went ahead and did it myself and the car ran amazing with no issues. Sold it for $3k. Bought myself a 2011 535i xDrive with that $3k and currently building it to make around 700hp.
I bought a 2000 honda accord 3.0 v6 for dirt cheap budget myself 500 I'm alittle over 600$ into now. Got it for a commuter car but now most likely gonna sell it when I'm done. Pretty much everything is new now besides motor and trans.
Wow, this is amazing! Great job transforming this CRV! Especially loved the heat gun trick for the trim and the tip about washing door jams. This is such a valuable resource for anyone who wants to learn how to fix up a car and make some money. Can't wait to see your next giveaway car!
I suggested this a gew videos ago. Nice way to make money while giving good content and maling money on the flip. A lot of brands should want to jump on.
Hey simple builds, love the work you do bro, with cars and with the channel. I hope you keep on growing my man. May god bless you and the fam. Also, finally someone good representing Jersey! Let’s go!
Hey just FYI bro, I do live in central Jersey and I own a 2012 Honda SI that’s not in the best of shape estheticly lol. Just in case if you need content for a future or something. Anyways, appreciate you writing back.
I also have a 2005 Honda CR-V EX in redondo red with a 5 speed manual transmission and I had to replace both ball joints and all 4 cv axles and wheel bearing/hub assemblies on all 4 corners.
as others have said, great video but i really don't recommend the heat gun method, trim restorer is much more effective and gives even better results. regardless, love the videos man!
These 2nd Gen CRV’s are bulletproof. I daily my 2006 and it’s never failed me. If it ever dies then I will probably search for another 2nd Gen CRV. Mine is identical to this one but is grey.
Like the videos. But was this one an April fools? You did half the stuff out of order, the heating the bumpers won’t last, and neither will the clear coat on the headlights
These Hondas slogan made of dreams it’s true they run forever run it on fumes Petrol running out only oil need oil basic maintenance only car that’s never let me down when I’ve had Merc’s Vw all have issue somethings going on
@@SmplBuilds Love the trick with heating up the moldings with a map torch on the CRV 👍 Came out nice!! And Awesome job with the civic.. need to freshen mine up with coils, paint, and few other things but have a dirt driveway an no garage..lol love the channel 😎
I know you’re trying to do things cheaply but you should also do them right or you’re basically scamming people. That trim will look worse than before in a few months time if even that long and that clear didn’t have any uv protectant in it so same story with the headlights. Use 3m plastic dye for trim and Griots ceramic headlight restoration and you’ll get the same or better results and they’ll last.
