The Turbo Del Sol project has been abandoned for years but now it’s time to get her off jack stands and take her out of the storage unit and get her back on the road. In this video I show you how to remove odors from your car after a flood, fix a bad fuel pump, fix seized drum brakes, and then we take the car to the drag strip and dyno to put down some numbers before adding the turbocharger.

From what I gathered from these comments is that Chris accidentally gave us the most important lesson in project cars: Sometimes life gets in the way so your progress slows down or stops and that is okay! If ChrisFix can do it, so does everyone else!
P.S Thank you for showing me that working on your car is not scary at all!
Man can not wait to watch this. Tho i gotta say im only 14 and i've been watching since i was 10 and you for sure inspired me to start working on my own car even tho there is another 4-5 years before im even able to get a drivers license but still, i really like watching and learning from your videos, keep up the good work man and good luck with all of your projects!!
Thanks so much Chris! Your videos are amazing.
Anybody know why amazon won't ship the odor eliminator to my address? Hazardous materials legislation maybe? Where else can you buy an odor eliminator like that?
My first time in 10 years seeing this man’s face
Casually walks past the NOS bottle 'a few parts i wanna install' 😛
Honestly this video helped a ton with just being at peace w my project car. Bought an 05 Mustang gt this year as a project & it's mostly just sat in thr driveway as yk. Life gets busy & I was feeling kinda bad about it but the fact that even the mighty chrisfix who made me a mechanic & inspired me to try a project car has had to set his project aside is a good lesson in that these cars take time. Thank you Chris. I don't say this about many YouTubers & such but you really have made a massive impact on my life for the better
waiting on your christmast video as every year!!!
I've always wanted a Del Sol since they came out. I'm 38 now and still get excited when I see them on the street. I don't care how weak they are.
I've shared this video on my Discord server, All Things Honda. I've been waiting patiently for the update videos for this car, my favorite of the whole channel!

"This car has seen better days; just look at all this wudder." This is how I knew it was your first hurricane
Hah same exact thing happened to my first gen CRV. the rear muffler broke off and was hanging on the highway, sounded like my lawnmower
