hello from east kilbride

Post by ek_dave » Tue May 14, 2013 5:27 pm

Hi

my names David and i have a problem, I have been very bad to my prelude and let it live in a garage for 4 years.

However due to redundancy and a few other things i have been given the chance to force myself to let this car live again.

I know 2 things about it, 1 I need to sort a botched rebuild it got and made us fall out of love with it and 2 it needs a flywheel as it only starts 1 in every 3 turns but that is for later, firstly i will put a new battery in it, give it some fresh petrol in it, give it a service and let it live.

and lastly yeh i have zero mechanical experience, I love tinkering with electronics, give me a laptop or anything electronic that is broken and i will rebuild or fix any issue with it. Cars? i just love cars and will learn as i go :D

Says 4G in his avatar block thingy Craig.

Welcome to the forum!

Several of us have cars we've been very bad to by letting them fester for ages off the road, so don't be hard on yourself on that one. Will be great to see it brought back on the road though! :D

Any chance of getting some pics up?
