I've recently sadly got in a accident in my 92 prelude si which has
H23a1 engine

The shell needs a lot to get back in running condition
-radiator
-driver upper and lower control arms
-driver spindle
-upper and lower radiator support
-frame is only pushed in slightly

Should I fix shell , get new one , get a h22 or swap the engine into something else????

 

 

Pull the engine and sell parts off the shell and eventually junk it. Unless you're really invested on building it don't waste your time.

 

If I file a claim do u think the prelude would get fixed or totaled out? No airbags were deployed in my car.
I would like to keep it because it's not as common as civics and integras
Everyone and their mother has a civic with a b swap im not even sure if I want to keep my eg even though they weigh close to nothing

I'd rather stay with h-series motors if I could mayb even Frankenstein a h22 head on my h23 if possible

 

I had a Frankenstein 00' Lude. You feel a difference. As for your shell, I'd lose it. I know it's uncommon to see like tegs and civs. Take out the heart and majors and seek another shell. If you claim, most likely they'll total loss it imo

 

So much for making a claim , she had fake insurance

I would need $400-$600 to get everything fixed, not including the frame work
....**** I might as well just part it out and pull the engine unless if I can find a place to park it and slowly put that work in just to avoid taking that loss

 

Who had fake insurance? This is why you should always have uninsured motorists coverage on every car. That way the insurance company can go after the person at fault and you will only be out the deductible.

 

The lady that was at fault , she had fake insurance and no DL and I called the cops to report that since I can't make a claim and they not going to do ****, DAMN PIGS

Call me a sucker but I want to see how much it will b to get my frame pulled, it's not as bad as it looks, if I can just get the lower radiator support pulled front then the wheel will follow and it would b drivable again besides the cracked windshield

I've made my own attempt by chaining the back of the prelude to a tree and jacked up that one driver side front corner and blocked all 3 other wheels, while changing the dented in lower radiator support to my civic, it only took 3 tries until the chain snapped off the civic ....oh well it was worth the try

 

 

Stop trying to bend it back yourself. Professional shops have a serious machine to fix all this stuff.

 

Fixing it myself was a hilarious fail .

Call me crazy but I'm taking out a $2,500 loan, paying it back won't be a problem I just need the prelude back up to running condition
-yea I know with that kind of money I could just buy another one but I'm already committed to this one I know it inside and out-

/HONDA LOYALTY\
After I fix the accident issues im going with some aftermarket parts for it
Keeping the motor btw
