1997 Honda Prelude 2.2 VTI Pic Heavy (Worth It)

Post by virtuoso23 » Mon Apr 25, 2016 11:54 pm

Hi guys,

So iv'e had this Prelude since January and I thought it's about time I got involved.
A few other members on here have owned and sold this particular Lude in the past and I would love for them to get in contact so I can pick there brains and have chat.

After purchasing this lovely Prelude from a very nice chap in worthing I immediatley garaged her.
Then as the worst of the weather cleared I drove it.....alot!

1st photo in March 2016 after a full machine polish. Gorgeous Day :D
Cleaned and buffed headlights, tail lights, sealed wheels and new rear number plate

Congrats on the new car, as u guys know it was my old prelude. After I sold it, I still had a tonne of people asking me who I sold it to as they wanted it, someone even asked me last month still. Great car, look after it!
