How to Finish Your Abandoned Project Car (Turbo Del Sol)
3,893,178 views 8 months ago
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.

I’m absolutely honored to receive the Content Creator of the Year award from SEMA. Although the award says Content Creator “of the year”, this was 10+ years worth of hard work to do my best to figure out how to provide the most informative, helpful, and concise DIY How-to videos for you guys. The goal with my videos is always to educate the world and show you the viewer that all you need to to is put on some gloves, grab your common hand tools, and you too can fix your car. Starting ChrisFix was never about me. The reason I never show my face is because I don’t want you to judge me by how I look or what I wear. Instead I want you to judge me on the quality of work I am presenting to you. I cannot wait to see where the future brings me, the channel, and us as a community. I couldn’t have done it without you guys, the viewers, my friends, and my family! Thank you all! #ChrisFix #CreatoroftheYear

Hey guys, a little update. Everything is fine after the hurricane. Family, house and cars are all good! I’ll be back posting videos very shortly (this week or next week). And will do my best to be more consistent now that I have everything moved from my old home. Del Sol turbo series is next! Mixed in will be normal DIY fix videos for ABS lights, flood repairs/cleaning, air condition faults, etc. I appreciate the support and patience. I didn’t think moving would be this time consuming or difficult haha.

Sorry for the lack of content recently. I’ve been super busy just keeping up with life at the moment but I hope to be back with videos very very soon. The new house was supposed to help me make content quicker (at least I thought that was how it would work in my head), but instead has created more headaches, taken so much of my time, and costs and incredible amounts of money lol. Who would have thought… Stay tuned tho, once I get situated, I’m going to neglect everything else I need to do and finally film/edit the videos I have planned. Even with all this stuff going on, I’ve been working behind the scenes on getting parts, planning things out, etc. The sad thing is, even though you guys haven’t seen any videos for the last month, I’ve been working every day, not relaxing, so I can’t even say I’m recharged lol… but that’s ok, it will all be worth it! Thanks for the continued support! #ChrisFix

For those of you who don’t know, June 1st I officially moved but I’ve been traveling back and forth to get my cars, tools, junk, etc to my new place. Well finally was able to get all my cars on transport so if you see them, lmk they are safe and where they are haha. Still going to work out of a driveway but my place has garage space and will hopefully let me make videos quicker and more efficiently. I’m super nervous with this move because it’s leaving everything I’ve known since I was a kid but it’s time to make a change for more content for you guys!!!! Also my own place for me! Wish me luck!!!!! Videos will resume shortly but right now I have no tools, cars, camera gear or computers so please be a little easy on me haha. Thanks for all the support everyone!

This Thursday June 1st Sarasota Florida. Lowe’s was kind enough to let me use their parking lot so we can have a meet up from 4-6pm. I have hundreds of decals and keychains to give out for free (while supplies last) and I’ll have 500+ post cards to sign and a nice place to get pictures!!! @therealtavarish will be there as well!!! Please no burnouts or revving your engine. We want to show respect to Lowe’s and their neighboring businesses. Lowe’s 5750 Fruitville Rd Sarasota, Florida 34232 #ChrisFix
