Hi guys after a while i am back with a new 3rd gen prelude. Its in white and its an auto '91 in very good condition all round. John the old man that i got it from, said he has taken it to a few classic car shows last year :) It needs some stuff sorting, but its going to be pleasure. I feel a bit weird to keep such a nice condition on my driveway... It really deserves garage stored... :D
Putting some pics and work i've done today...

Changed brake pads and brake disks in front, installed my cd player and speakers... Needs door speakers changed that is on its way :)
Also put my 16' alloys from the old lude will put pics of that when i get a chance in the day light.

Nothing really, just sorting all bits and bobs and keeping it as original as it is apart from what I have already done :) alloy wheels and stereo. Big clean needs being done- polish and wax and thats about it

Well done, 91, hope you get to enjoy the auto box, keep an eye on those front brakes 'tho, looks like uneven wear which may be caused by one of the caliper pistons seizing, also , watch out for rust on the front of the rear arches, mine went recently and its the same age as yours. may be a good idea to take the bungs out and inject the rear box sections with some rust preventer/ curer like Waxoyl.

Cheers for advice. 91 I will definatelly do something about it! Will check the brakes in a near future how they work but I think will be fine with New discs and pads
