the welds are really coming out nice, are you having any issues w/ the metal warping?
any place in particular you're gonna get the motor and axles from? you getting a motor and tranny combo or do you have one of those sitting around too?
Just learned a few months ago...Some of the welds look good, but others look like ass. It's not too big of a deal since most of it will be grinded down, primered, then covered up with some sound dampner

Yea, some of the welds look good, but some look like **** cause there are spots that are hard to reach with my fat hands like on the sides near the fenders. The metal is sitting nicely. I've had to hammer some parts, but nothing major. As for the motor, I might try and get one from my GF's dad since he has a salvage yard. I'm just waiting to get a motor from an Automatic Prelude since those can't really be red lined. I already have a tranny, but I just need to change the 5th gear syncro.

If I can, I will. Just have to see what will need to be cut and spliced first. I know wiring to the doors will have to be redone, cause the harness I got with the clip was cut
Fu_king sick that is all I have to keep saying Brian fu_cking sick !!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just added some sound deadner along the firewall to cover up the welds. Looks a bit better now. Sorry for the low quality pics. I took these with my phone cause I don't have my digi camera at the moment
I guess I can consider it a waste since I can just buy RHD cars :P
Then again I don't consider this a waste because you'll have a virtually brand new as well as RHD Prelude.
Badass dude, keep it up.
Damn, how much do you usually get RHD preludes for? Maybe I could've saved some money. I know you'd have to pay a few hundred to have it shipped, then I'd have to pay even more to have it shipped down from Canada.

I know that sounds steep but we're talking about a very low mileage well preserved car that you can't get on the domestic market. You could probably get one with 40-60k miles easy.

I haven't paid anywhere near that much for mine. So far, I've probably paid a little less half of that. The motor that I'm dropping in has 69xxx miles on it.

the color looks really good...
