I say all red. Ultimately what I'll do when I find a red one.

Love the inx Prelude.

Nice to see another 3rd gen getting this much attention

I say colour coded trim as well. It's what I did on mine. I wouldn't say it makes it more modern looking (that's not even what you'd be aiming for), but I think it does take them up a class... Much like the grey bumpers on the EX takes them down a class.

Thanks for opinions guys. I have decided to with the black mouldings to break up the red. As for attention, I'm giving it my all. Who knows, might make LOTM

Getting prepped for the full respray. Window trims & all rubber seals coming off next.

Nearside arch rust cut out:

Offside we found this dirty secret hiding

So glad I have uncovered this as I can now have it sorted. The arches on these are truly bum droppings.

Greg, your arches came out nice there. Hopefully mine will too.

Yeah man its not the end of the world, most of these cars rot here, wasn't a big job i think it was about £360 to get both arches welded and painted then I paid £100 for a proper machine polish.

Ok so I thought to myself, Mimms is coming up this Sunday. I haven't taken this car to any show/meet. So spoke to my mate whos doing all the work & asked if I could have the car ready for Saturday night & he said yes. By the way, anyone from here going to Mimms? Come & say hello if you see my car, I'll be in a Prelude stand somewhere.

I decided I wanted to respray the whole car. So all trims came off, the trims that are no longer available had to be masked & painted over but I have no choice there. All window trims, badges, door handles etc are coming off:

Still another 2 coats to do
