Default my new 5th gen build thread

just picked up a 5th gen prelude on a steal after spinning a rod bearing in my rs.
now it is an automatic, but the jdm trans is on the way

picked it up from a junkyard which claimed it didnt run (had it running in a half hour)
original owner junked it after hitting a deer, which rolled on the hood and off the car leaving no fender damage whatsoever

200k
original owner (title had 200 miles on)
non smoker.
older female commuter

Sorry about the pic, took them on my cell. when i find my camera they will get better









the next day after i sanded down the wheels and sprayed them black, came out pretty good, and also since i hadnt found a hood and front bumper yet i took the hood off and tried to bend it back into place somewhat.. better than nothing i assume.



now today i tinted the red part of the real tailights, not completely black but just a darker shade. pics will be up soon.

I wasn't sure she was hurlin or not, but the door was open and she looked to be bent over the side of the car lol.

The 93 doesn't come out and play much... it was down/broken for almost 6 years, its all back together/tagged now. I just don't drive it that often.
