Icon5 Restoring GEN 3 Prelude

Hi looking to restore a GEN 3 Prelude. I need sills and rear wheel arch panels. Inner and outer panels. Can anyone suggest where's best to locate these please? Preferably parts that can be sourced in the UK

good luck lol. You're almost better off buying a complete clean chassis. Anyone who has one with clean sills and quarters is not going to cut it up to sell the pieces. And you can't buy the pieces new.

Dammit. But thank you for letting me know. Any recommendations on where to source the full chassis? Or know if another brand does the same rear wheel arch shape? Thinking could use the panels there, if I manage to find sills...

go to the facebook group I mentioned above and ask. There was info a few months ago on there about what you can use for the wheel arch, but I don't remember what it was.

Yeah good luck, either fabricate from scratch or purchase a parts car and cut and paste.
You chose one of the hardest chassis to support in the Honda relm, I should know since I support them and unable to find any vendor that can produce replica parts for a decent price.
