Default My 4th "Jen" Prelude Restoration Project

*UPDATED PICS ON PAGE 2 and 3*

Hi Everybody,

Harhar...here are just a few pics of what my 1993 Prelude SI VTEC looked like and the progress I'm making to "restore" it so to speak:

When I bought it:

Unforunately not much pictures, just think the Before picture but with SI wheels, dismantled dash and messed up center console...like guages in my lap whilest I drive sort of deal haha...body really dinged up everywhere...small rust on the rear quarter panel, accident damage from prior owner..sunroof faded from granada black pearl to albino zebra-ed white =/

Before:

-Cleaned up/replaced most of the interior pieces from another 4th gen =]
-Put in some new things...and another h22...due to a crankshaft cracking...=/











After (more like currently..):

-Got 16" Black Rota Slips, WS2 cat back, Carsound 2.5" cat, (header soon =]), new Seibon oem cf hood and a Kaminari lip kit with the Accord Type R front lip.







The color is from the '02 NSX..Long Beach Blue Pearl. =]





Hoping all comes out well...and everything should be up and going by Wednesday of next week! But lots more to do..

-Jen
