Here i have my 1989 2.0L 12v twin carb 5 speed manual Honda Prelude with 65k on the clock, only ever had 2 previous owners before me and it has been well looked after and kept in a garage for most of it's life but sadly when the previous owner wasn't albe to drive anymore he put it up for sale 5 years ago! With no success selling it due to asking price being high! It was then tooked beside a local garage where it stood for the past 5 years!! It was clear it had seen better days it was covered in green moss all over.

So after passing my driving test 2months back i decided this was the car for me and i wanted to save her, the work that has been done to get her back up running and road ready i will list below.
Work:
Brand new types all around
Brand new brake pads
Brand new cam belt
Fairly new back box
Brand new window wipers
Freah oil
New spark plugs
That then allowed it to fly through the MOT

But then 1 week of driving my new found joy BOOM went the altornator :( so the alternator has been replaced to :)

Hope you enjoy following the build to come in the near future!

Snapped me these off ebay spotted by mart609 and couldn't say no they will be going in for a reburb after Christmas all posts of that will be uploaded :) followed up by some new coilovers that I'm saving up for dropping low low low on the ewings, followed up by a new clean tidy exhaust pipe.
No doubt alot more mods will follow aswell but for know keeping it simple and that's my plan for next year :)
