Default beau gotti project log

i just picked this car up for 300 bucks. these pics are from the night i first got it but i will try to get some more but i left my camera in my buddies car. the headlights are gone, and i have got rid of the red interior, the backwards speaker, and the steering wheel has the horn button cover. but cant complain about the price i paid for a straight body. on and i took the seat covers off to revel near perfect CRX seats.







Sock headlights are on now, and today its getting slammed on ground control/koni's, wet sanded, and put all the OEM un painted pieces back in

it wont be long. i gotta replace the tranny, so im just gonna pull the motor out, and and take out all the AC, and re route the harness and flat black it so it will be a lil cleaner when i swap my b in there about march-april.
the car is gonna be painted imola orange probally at the time when i put the b in so i can get the bay and all.
this is gonna just be a clean daily driver nothing to crazy. might put a ZC hood to clear the b series. but im not gonna fool around with a front end conversion or anything like that. hopefully ill get the recaros i want next week!
the car looks alot better with just the stock headlights in LOL and the gay window banner gone

Thats an inverted install, some woofers work better in a free air system, this is where this would be used.

But for most, people just install them inverted for the appearance factor.

As far as I know, honda speaker holders aren't sealed - like the sub boxes people do this with. There's also the fact that subwoofers play frequencies that aren't deflected by most materials, unlike woofer/tweeter frequencies from door speakers.

Just make sure to paint the interior accents all black, and half the ricer battle has been won.

sweet, get it ready for the car show in april we're putting on again @ berry

Man, it needs some work, but a red chassis is a goodie once it's cleaned up. I can't tell if there is a sunroof or not so if it's the si or not?

yea green91 i got it, but shh it is staying quite from IL until its a little more cleaner LOL

the prelude has been for sale for a while, just cant get rid of it!

main reasons i got the car, full interior nothing missing. and straight body for the most part, no major damages. maybe ill flat black the bay tomorrow too since ill be sanding anyways
