Vtecmec's 4th Gen

Thanks everyone, quite excited about the move........

Has it got a larger garage by chance?

It does. The wife has not even seen the house yet, I chose it with the garage in mind. I hope she likes it.

Wow! What a wife!

I hope you like your new workshop ~ never mind the house
Remember - setting up your new workshop doesn't count as time "working on your Prelude"... So lets see some more pics when the Prelude is in its new home....

All the best with the move , Tim

The way I see it, I'm paying, so I'm choosing.

Fair point, will get pics up of the move and the new space. Cheers.

Ok, so I have now moved house, and the move went reasonably well.

I had to move the car a few days after we actually moved house, so it sat nervously in the old garage for a few days without anyone keeping an eye on it, I was a bit worried, but fortunately when I drove back up to the north, everything was ok.

I met the guy who was transporting it and he rocked up with his machine, 2 hours later than planned, which was a boring wait in the car. We loaded it onto the trailer and all was well. I was expecting just to follow him down but he said he had to go back to their depot first to change driver.

Loading up.



The plastic screen was because I had no power to wind the window up.

So worryingly I left him to it and drove to the new place and waited for the car to arrive. 2 hours of curtain twitching later it finally arrived and we unloaded it and pushed it into its new home.

The new workspace is not as big as I remember when I first viewed the property, it nice and long, but not really as wide as I would have liked, guess I’ll just have to make do, but it will be nice to have a segregated working area.

The new space:







Monster vice already there ready to use.



A bit of sorting to do.





Tools now organised:







Prelude sat comfortably:



Whilst clearing the kitchen for the move, I found some stuff that I had bought earlier but had completely forgotten about.

Replacement window mouldings (thanks JDM BB4)



Bonnet spoiler (thanks mercutio)



Cooling plate (thanks Bri)



Lightened flywheel (ebay?)



Spare switches, just a few.



Spare fuse box.



I also found new clutch master and slave cylinders. Yes, I am an ebay addict.

On another note, the wife is really pleased with the new place (yay me), its bigger than the last place and in a really nice quiet village, after living in a city for pretty much my entire life, the quiet is going to take some getting used to.

Cheers.

Glad you, the missus, whatever dependants you may or may not have, and the Prelude are all settled in safe and sound

That's obviously a prefabicated garage... With a new roof and a bit of block work at the back you could always widen it

... And seriously?!... How may aerials do you have on your lude?!

[Vtecmec]

I know, I obtained that lot in a 99p bargain bag of switches and relays on ebay, there are about 12 half mast switches in there! god knows how the guy ended up with so many.

[bennyboy]

Have you got a front fog switch and relay in that little collection?...

[Vtecmec]

Not sure, I'll have a look tomorrow for you.

EDIT: Sorry but there is no fog light stuff in there.
