Hi guys im new to the forum but not new to cars. Im looking into buying a 92 prelude that has no motor or trans in it. Im wondering what the value of this car would be it is in average condition. IM gonna do a jdm h22 swap into it thanks jamescb77

 

No motor or tranny? depends on the condition of the shell. but probably like 2-3k

 

the body is in pretty good shape and so is the interior the car has like 160k on it and no motor or tranny. you think it's worth 2-3k man that seems higher than i thought but like i said i didn't really know the value of it.if anyone else has an idea i would appreciate it thanks jamescb77

 

2-3 grand

 

look at rubber boots on suspension and how the engine was removed, does it have the AC pump/lines intact?. If the harness was cut instead of unplugged i think that the price should drop significantly. Try to look at the brake rotor wear too since it can all add up trying to fix it. I bought a 93 si shell much like what you are talking about. it has been a PITA repairing all of the little bits. But i got a nice shell for $150. not a typo... so I can't complain much.

The engine was unpluged and it was a h23 and i will be putting in a jdm h22. I need to go check on the bakes and such like that. It belongs to a guy i know and his dad is really tired of it sitting in the shop. IM hoping i can get it for 800-1000 and from what everyone is saying thats a pretty good deal. also it has a full interior in it which is in good shape so it should make a great daily driver with a little bit of pep maybe down the road when i finish the project car that im about to start now.

 

$500

 

post some pictures...

 

i would psot pics but the car is a little ways away and i don't wanna have to get the guy then drive out there just for pictures. If i buy it then i will definitely post some pics before and after the engine goes in. So far it looks like people are saying somewhere between 500 and 2000 that's a pretty big range.
