Fefelarue's 3rd gen Honda Prelude

[fefelarue]

I just "discovered" this topic today as I am on the hunt on buying a prelude 3g myself and I have to say I love the way yours turned out. The only thing I would change would be the bottom body tone, I would swap that grey to and light brown, coffee&milk-like

Congrats again, your build has made me want to own a prelude 3g even more !

by the way, you may want to check this topic ( and forum) if you haven't already. I'm drolling at every piece of good information I find here, there are also some very nice builds, mostly us/canada based

Sorry, not been on here in ages!

But yes I was actually looking for a pale olive-green sort of colour, rather than the grey, but there's not a massive selection of decent quality wraps. Most of them are horrendous chrome dealeos, or matte colours.

Thanks for the comments

Hello friends, it's been a while, but now it's sunny so it's car time again.

You may remember this ingenious yet horrendous yet airtight bodge:



I decided it was time to sort it properly, so I got one of these:



And some of these:



And did this messyAF but solid couple of welds:



Then I decided my boot build wasn't good enough, so I spent a day in absolute misery and severe pain chiseling off this wankycuntshitbollocks sound insulation:





Then stripped the boot:



So that I could do this:




Yay, it's yellow. I know right.

Then I failed the MOT because the battery was apparently insecurely fastened because it was sitting on the back seat, who'd have thought eh? So I had to screw it into the spare wheel thingy in the middle for the time being:



But as much as I like the yellow stripped out yo look, I needed some bass to keep me awake on my early morning drive to work, so went to B&Q, to find it had closed down, but was being refitted, and there was a load of MDF outside. So after a quick chat with the lovely shopfitter dudes, i walked away with 2 6x4 sheets of the henchest MDF if ever freaking seen. For free



Then after lots and lots of measuring and cutting and measuring and cutting and more measuring, I made this heavy as balls fitted box:










It's a bit over-engineered for the sub I'm using at the mo, but now I can upgrade to a nice big powerful dealeo without having to worry about the box flexing to pieces.

I think I might do another one on the other side then join them with a brace or summat like that, what do you guys think?

Man I love your car. I started reading your thread last year in June. Shortly after that (September) I bought a prelude of my own. Mine is the 91 model, and no 4ws. Truly inspirational build.

this thing is sweet and i'm not that in to Honda's... but you know that untreated fiberglass is not water proof right? you have to paint it to be that

Cheers guys

Funnily enough I actually coated the fuck out of it with silicone sealant afterwards as an extra precaution, I just didn't get a picture haha. But I had no idea the fibreglass isn't!?

Surely the polyester resin's waterproof? They make boats and swimming pools from it. Or is that all treated with something else afterwards?

Thanks very much everyone
Really nice to hear people like it!

It doesn't matter what kind of car this is. If you put this much attention into a car, you'll get my vote. Even if it would be something like a lada.

Great work!
