ok so i just upgraded from my sweet 94 grand prix to a 92 prelude si. it has 204xxx on it and just a few minor bolt on ups to it. my question is should i put money into it or just let it be my daily driver until it dies. the interior is immaculate, you wouldn't believe it was a 92, and the body needs some stuff like minor rust, needs a fender, needs a new front bumper, needs the little grille pieces. any suggestions?

if i were you... fix all of your minor probs first. and tihnk about an engine swap.

 

^^ x2 although the bias in this forum is mostly going to be towards keeping it and building it up.

 

but how do the transmissions hold up on preludes?

The only bad rap I've heard on prelude trannies is the auto in the first few years (?) of the 5th gen.

I have a '92 SI auto, 213K miles - no problems. Manuals should last even longer. Just depends on how bad you treat it.
