Thinking of looking at this '94 Prelude VTI-R

[GU357]

hard to get that good finish though
theres a guy on ebay in the states, he can powder coat them for about 120$ then u ship ur old one too him, and he will refund 80$

i think shipping will destroy you though.

maybe u could sticker bomb it, if u stripped it down poilshed it up did some clear coats it might come up nice n shiny too, maybe clear with silver fleck, or something like that.

[Russ.]

Yeah perhaps, I just want a tidy finish... better than the flakey red paint that is on there at the moment...

I also just bought some dress washers for around the rocker cover.
$12 isn't bad at all!
Might get the black ones.

[GU357]

i've been thinking about getting these fancy washers, tell me if there any good.
because my ones used to leak so i siliconed them, but these come with new rubber.

also if u plan on taking the cover off, get fresh sparkplug and rocker gaskets, unless they are still very squishy feeling.


PS i hate choosing the colours because u have to stick with that colour theme, to prevent it looking random

eBay for $12. The USA supplied them.

And yeah, Im replacing all the tube seals and valve cover seal.

Just wrapped my boot, it came out not so bad.
Not perfect, but looks good.

[Russ.]

Looks much neater than a boot full of spoiler holes and peeling clear coat...

Im going to prep and paint the centre a matte black, just to cover up the crappy peeling parts.

Cheers.

where that number plate is needs to be matched.
and the key hole should be sprayed with black (for maximum blackness)

Yeah Ima paint it matte black.
Spray hole? What is that magic?

[GU357]

lol key hole!

[Russ.]

lol key hole!

Yeah could do hey, why not.

Have some good news... because of some bad news.

Looks like I'll be getting a new bonnet soon...
How come?
Because my partner's sister accidently backed into my Prelude, luckily she was in her Hilux, and being the height that it is, it only dented the bonnet and didn't damage anything internally... well, not that it looks like at least.





It was a whole lost worse before I twisted it back into shape.

Cheers guys!
