Mine is my '97 Prelude that runs and drives but needs work. So until I get jack stands, it's not getting worked on yet. Once I do have jack stands, it'll probably get parked on them for a few months while I address the things I can.

It mostly needs fluids and suspension work. It does have an oil leak that needs addressing. Then I'll get to the body issues. Two big dents. I'd like to see what PDR can do to pop them out. If they can be done relatively cheap, I'm going to give it a new coat of paint in the original Milano Red. Myself. Because Maaco would have charged damn near what I paid for the thing. So I'm gonna try a roller paint job. If it's really expensive to get the dents taken care of, I'll probably leave the body alone. I kinda like the concept of a car that's mechanically sound but looks like a piece of shit. It also needs the spoiler because the Type SH does not have an interior third brake light. It's in the spoiler. Someone along the line must not have liked the spoiler and took it off. The trunk lid was obviously repainted. So anyway the car has no third brake light.

I paid $2,700 for the thing. So I'm not about to spend another $7k to have a car that's worth at best $5k. It's got 253,000 miles on it. It'll never sell for what top shelf 5th gens command. And I do so little driving now. I did the math that it'll take another 17 years for me to roll the odometer to 300k.

If you have access to an air compressor, harbor freight sells paint guns pretty cheap. You can get maaco quality out of them with a little practice/setup. And better quality if you take your time prepping.

I understood maybe a third of the words you said, but:

Type SH does not have an interior third brake light. It's in the spoiler. Someone along the line must not have liked the spoiler and took it off. The trunk lid was obviously repainted. So anyway the car has no third brake light.

made me laugh. Thanks for sharing, and I sincerely hope you see it hit 300k, or at least get a bit more fun out of fixing it up.
