Yea man Check out WWW.SHOOTALL.CO.UK and leave me a message.



Right well here's some progress shots on how I've been getting on.

I've been stripping and disconnecting anything I can see to disconnect haha

Only Drive shafts and Engine mounts are holding it in now! Excited to take it out and start welding up holes.

Took out the ABS. PROPER old skool system this is!





BUT it made way for my new Air box.

ARC Intake!

Fit's lovely without the ABS now.





And one of how it's sitting at the moment. Not looking pretty at all.

Tested tonight and we have lift off!

Also picked up my Dipped parts

LOVING IT!

[Benny]

Yea there was bits of gearing all wedged inside the casing!

[P78]

looked like serious carnage

[Benny]

Update:






Well shortly after I attended the Type2Detectives/StanceWorks coffee morning meet in Cambridge my gearbox decided to lock the diff completely and I was in a bit of a pickle.

After sourcing a 2nd hand box from the Prelude Power forum I had it sent off and new bearings fitted and the insides checked over. The new 60K miles box was better than my 54K miles box so it came back and with the help of some mates we refitted it back in.

The state of the Diff :S There was metal fyling about everywhere in there! Chunks wedged into the casing and all sorts!



And the Output Shaft was chipped too.




So ordered up lots of stuff that needed doing like 2x upper and 2x lower ball joints, while it was easily accessible I bought a new clutch just to be on the safe side.




Also while the front crossmember was off I had a 6mm plate welded to the bottom of it, This part takes nearly all of the hits when I hit bumps in the road and Speedbumps Ect so should take a beating now as well as lots of sparks lol







Refitting the box.





So damn good to see her back on the floor, I'd forgotten how low it was Soon to be lower once the smaller tyres have been fitted to the freshly polished SSR's

Just waiting for my rocker cover to be hydro dipped so I can start the car and test the transmission. Hope all is well as Japfest is under a week away now! :O

Shit dude, you are killing it with this build. Im really digging it, awesome job keep up the good work

That is just fantastic man. I haven't/very rarely post much but I had an 84 Prelude. Dual Carb model. Pulled it out of a guys yard. Had sat 9 years. Junkyard FP and Carb and ran like a top. Loved that little car. Wasn't stanced but god it was fun.
