Hi everyone. I'm new to this forum. He's my story. A shop owner was selling a 97 prelude for his customer and friend. The car was bought new by this guy and he drove it for quite awhile, after which he gave to his daughter. Well the car was serviced on a regular basis, but not keep looking good. The lude had moderate rust at the rear wheel wells, a substansial dent in the hood and left fender. Other than that, the car ran great. Almost new michelin piolets, new clutch and inspected til. 11/2011. The interior was like new. He called me and told me of the car. Asking $1800.00. To shortin the story, I bought it.

Things that have been done since then:

New hood
New fender
All little dings/dents removed
Rust repaired(rust grinded and new metal welded in)
body sanded and painted, base and clear coat - original color with Dupont paint
Engine cleanup and some paint
Weather tech window rain gaurds
Orig. Honda mud flaps - hard to find new
New wheels on order

Tell me what yoy members think of my work. I did all of it myself, Thanks

The car looks great. Very clean.

It's really great that you brought it back to top form!
