Now I feel bad :(

Lol i think it will be OK, looks mint from the pictures. I'll be changing the cambelt for sure, maybe waxoyl underneath, as I live within 5 miles of the sea.

No doubt i'll be shopping for bits very soon, quite fancy a leather interior including doorcards, and get a new backbox, standard Honda though.

That may be the one. It was a kid on a local forum, called himself Soy Prelude because the reg was SOY, then Celica Soy when he changed his car.

I upset him one day and got this class pm!

A charming bloke!!

This is the Prelude in Japan I was considering importing http://ags.aucmint.com/japaneseusedcars ... _year=2011

I was one phonecall away from Torque GT buying it for me...at a total cost of 4 grand. Am glad I waited now.

Note how my one doesn't have a gaping great fog light in the rear bumper, it has been wired into the light cluster, like they all should be 8-)

Once you get it, give it a good detail and machine polish and wax. That colours comes to life when its restored. Just look a 4thGen philips heap of a gen 4th.
But glad you waited as that look like a minter.
Oh and go Bilt Hmaber dynax UB and S50 of undersealing. The smell alone is worth the effort.

Cheers, instead of waxoyl aye? I don't have the space to do this myself though, so I will make sure whoever does the job, uses the chemicals you recommend.

Too thick for an after shave application?

Insurance quote of £258. When listed as a UK car. I gave them the registration number, so maybe I will pretend it IS a UK car?

Thank god for that! :lol:

You wait though... One week after you get it, a lower mileage, cheaper, minter, black, grey or silver JDM BB1 will pop up much closer to home ;-) :lol:
