Hello, well I'm new here, brought a Prelude this morning. I'll try and get some pictures as it is a real sight. Not in a good way either.....
Its definatly not worth saving, still drivable though, I'm impressed by it.
Not sure whether anyone cares but I'll tell a bit about it.
It runs well, cept the cooling fans don't work at all, resulting in hot car when not moving.
I'm thinking I'm gonna wire one on all the time and the other to a switch, can't really be bothered doing it right on something this screwed. Its 2 litre twin carbed, not 4 wheel steer either.
I don't know much about these so any (nice) comments welcome

 

We have one that sounds similar to yours. It is also a real sight after being in a couple wrecks and a few minor scrapes. Stuff leaks and rattles and refuses to open or close, but you know what? It still runs, and runs .
I was also impressed after seeing the wrecks - once it was on its side in a rocky ditch after falling/sliding ten feet down. Once it rear ended a stopped astro van without even touching the brakes (on the highway). Straighten it out with some floor jacks and a crowbar and start her back up.
