Nice project there brian. Keep us posted on the progress with some pics.

Prelude1897 · 03-13-2007, 07:52 PM

fo sho...I might be cuttign the firewalls out this weekend hopefully. I still need to get a welder so I can put everything back together

If you can keep us constantly update, this is going to be one helluva read Brian. Couple of questions though:

Side markers - USDM, JDM or other? (I would suggest in the wing mirrors, would look great, ad be different again)
Engine - Type S or turbo sucker? (I know you said you're not interested in going fast, but then again, you're spending all that money, so why not?)
Exterior - Are you going to style it the same as your current car, or going to go something else? (wouldn't it be cool to have two nearly identical Preludes in your driveway? Imagine the looks on the gf's face when you say "you can drive" get in the right door and still have the steering wheel in your lap!)

Sweet project! Since your not going for speed anymore make it an SS!

So your doing all then work yourself?

Damn I better do a RHD conversion hella fast!

Brash22>>>> I'm not going to have sidemarkers on the car. I'm completly shaving everything off. The hood, sidemarker, and trunk lid...I'll just be dropping in a regular USDM motor since there's really no need to drop in a Type S motor since this is my first major project. Later down the road I'll probably build up another one. I'm putting an OEM front lip, Mugen sides and rear, but I'm still on the hunt for the rear pieces. I have a couple of different colors in mind to paint the car...As I keep doing more work, I'll keep taking more pics and posting them up on the page and my photo album

PreludeLikeWhoa>>>> It's going to be me and a friend of mine putting it all together since he know's a little more about welding than I do. I'm just now learing how to weld. I knew after I knew how to do that, I would want to build up a car since welding is a major part of it.

Prelude1897 · 06-05-2007, 07:04 PM

Some updated pics. I'm to the point where I need to weld the firewall in. I'll still need to patch up some holes after it's welded into place.

Dfwbb6 · 06-05-2007, 09:50 PM

nice! keep us posted

Dragazn · 06-05-2007, 11:10 PM

*UPDATE* 8/31/07

Well now that I finally got my welder hooked up, I've been working on the car. I've finally welded in the firewall. I'm not done, and it still needs work, but here's a beginning of it so far.

Phat8186 · 09-01-2007, 02:28 AM

loving it, I sowant to see some more.

chester · 09-01-2007, 05:55 AM

This is beyond awesome. What did you use to cut the firewalls out? What welder will you be using?

I used an electric saw and a small air saw for the tight spaces. I'm using a Lincoln welder that I bought from Home Depot http://www.homedepot.com/webapp/wcs/...ctId=100395926

akber · 09-01-2007, 11:20 AM

I agree with Sandiegan... I would just keep the cash and save it.
