Shameless plug but decided to start making YouTube videos of the Prelude (other Hondas too).
Before anyone says anything, the cars battery was unplugged before I put it off the road.

It was under cover for since mid February.
All starts up fine and with no funny noises or nasty colour fumes coming out the back.
There is a lot of cobwebs and a lot of mould on the inside of the car. Outside of the car it's not that bad to be honest, it's just dust and some green algae around the windows. I was thinking it would have gone rusty around the arches. Looked all ok there but that's just outside, didn't take the wheel off to see properly. This I will do next week when I give it a good clean.

I know the feeling, my Type S has been under cover since February too. Gong to try starting her up tomorrow. Only difference is that I had a load of those anti condensation packs inside. Will have to see if it helps stop mould forming

The disposable dehumidifiers work very well. I put 6 in my car over winter despite still using the car once a week and they absorb so much moisture.Carlosfandango wrote: ↑Sun Jun 13, 2021 8:09 amI know the feeling, my Type S has been under cover since February too.

Only 1 patch on the backseat for me
I needed to use the other 3 from the multipack. Unlike Ratty, I only used 3

Good to see it coming back life and ready to drive again. Mine was also off the road since Dec and fired straight up in May (once the battery was charged).
