Default 1st gen prelude

i found one with the body in perfect condition and the interior isnt bad either. its 5 speed rwd and im waiting for a price from the guy who owns it. it doesnt run either. so i have a q for everyone, is this a hard car to work on? where can i find parts? my local dealer can get me almost anything but i dont want to pay those prices. any ideas?

They aren't rwd, maybe that was a typo? They use the same motors that came in 1g accords I believe. They are mechanically simpler than newer Honda's so they should be pretty easy to work on.

This thread shows an EK1 motor being rebuilt:

uh, no. it's fwd for sure buddy.

as for the dealer getting you almost anything, probably not. a lot of items are probably discontinued and not shown as such on there computer. but if you're planning on modding it, you'll be in for a pain of a time.

they do look cool, though.
