what would I do?

- get rid of tacky stickers
- repaint milano red and fix bumper/fender alignment
- clean up engine bay wiring
- swap out that zc for a z6, or b18b if you want to have a dual cam

but of course if you're like the other people on this forum who ask that question, you'll ignore anything anyone responds with and just throw some sick zero offset XXRs and a sticker bombed wink mirror

I'm gonna have to keep the ZC only because I don't have the money or the mechanical knowledge to do so. But I'd love something vtec, definitely.
A wire tuck is definitely needed though. It's ugly right now, I agree. As far as reprinting it goes, it's just plasti dipped, so I could just peel it off. But in pretty sure the paint under it is really ugly.

All of these things and remove whatever it is that's hanging from your tow hook

If the previous owner traded an (auto) Prelude for that, I could almost guarantee that trans is on its way out.

+1 and I've heard horror stories that H trannies cost big $$$ like 2 grand to rebuild. When it does go out I'd suggest doing H-B if you can because a B16 tranny has decent gearing and will last much, much, much longer. Good luck with the other stuff you might want to do!

What should you do with the Prelude? get rid of that tacky steering wheel for an OEM one, consider getting rid of the corny bandana that serves no use on the steering column and lastly, paint that poor valve cover to a wrinkle black.

yup^^

I'd hate to say it but that motor doesnt seem so healthy from the bay shot as well, seems to be some oil and other fluids on the block...

Wow someone traded you a decent looking Prelude for that civic? Good come up.
Seems like the engine on the Prelude is leaking all over the place, fix those and do a proper trans flush with OEM fluids. Good luck.
