Default plans for my prelude

ok, no one likes to drive a car they cant control very well, much less one that bounces from having some bad struts. i have been having trouble trying to find rear struts for my 80 prelude. eveyone seems to have sold out or stopped making them. this car has become very rare and parts have become even more. i wanted to drop my little bouncy lude and make it into a dropped(if not slammed) jdm looking desired prelude. a nice front lip and some axis oldskool rims would turn heads but i need money for all this and my pockets have ran dry. who here would like to donate time and parts to bring this car to a show show look?

i need a welder and a whole exhaust to system to make a nice humming sound and not a rice burning clown car. a fabricated header to mount on to the engine from the firewall side.

i need to rebuild my carborator or get a bigger one to give it some extra power to make it over a 100 horepower at least.

i might get my uncle to upholster the inside but i still need to make a fiberglass center council so i can listen to some music. there is no radio and nothing to really mount it on to. the little box is hanging by a thread and can use it to make the new one.

well guys, if anyone can help with lobor or just parts that can help i would like it. thank you in helping me bring back the one that started it all.

National Prelude sites are probably your best bet for finding parts for that thing. Also look into other suspension that may also fit.

Default tint

got the the classic tinted with 30 all the way around. i like the brand 3m and was done at a shop on 1960 and 45 next to pestsmart. cost me 160 and i was fine with that. its been hot here in houston and this tint will help protect and keep the sun out.

I had 2 when I was back in VA a few months ago. I had to give them to a friend cause I couldn't afford to move them down here. They are sweet little cars.

You might want to check the 1g forum on PreludePower.com There are a few on that site including the guy I gave mine too.
