Well guys I managed to locate a rear bumper support bar by luck and not too far from me I also managed to find an original Japanese Honda sterio head unit with the LCD screen and cassette player and the original prelude jack too πŸ˜‚. I asked 2 separate guys to get back to me with welding lips onto the arches for its not and no one turned up although they seemed to be keen. I'm waiting for an oil cooler and AC condenser so I can put stuff back together again. I gave my bumper support to get powder coated in dark blue so looking forward to that. A also orders the steel braided brake pipes from ebay from a company called wezmoto and I was so excited when I got them delivered they look amazing in Dark blue they look amazing although I tried to replace one but I couldn't break away the break line to the Flexi brake pipe so will leave that to the mechanic.

Mate that Green Lude was a very good one I went to see it and it took me by surprise as the underneath was rusted as. I managed to get the original prelude Jack with original japanese grease on it, the original stereo and the headlight bulb fittings. The rear bumper frame is at Fife powder coating so will see how that turns out in a few days😊 . I need to find someone who will make me a lip and weld it on the arches as the rest is fine and just the lip that's gone but trying to get someone to do anything is like a nightmare I'm just wondering if I'm in the wrong trade and open up a body workshop instead 🀣

I'm sure I have seen the legend how does it compare with the prelude even though different classes? What was the reg plate on your prelude and colour? My name is Taz by the way everyone knows me in Dunfermline as Taz. It's nice speaking to someone close by 😊

Haha! Spoke to Craig yesterday, he told me you two had already met!

My Prelude was a white 4G, M149 YSL - had a domokun on the tailgate - was in Dunfermline for 8 years and had it almost all of that time so very likely you would have seen it around :)

The Legend is a weird one. It's a big comfy cruiser, so definitely not a light GT like the Prelude. But it has a trick AWD system, so it is stupidly good in corners (despite being almost two tons). Both cars put big grins on your face, just in different ways :lol:
