I understand lynxx but my prelude calls to me and sceeams rally all the way lets hit the dirt and take to mountain roads and rain mudd at high I wanna make the prelude that I love so much something of a god to glory in the Honda world the ultimate prelude so if you have an Idea of how to convert this without the chevy I say all honda tell me about honda parts I can use to make it all wheel drive
I once had a guy ask me how the Pros manage to make a 350mph drag car out of, say, a new Pontiac Firebird. The answer is simple. It's NOT a new Pontiac Firebird, it is just modeled to LOOK like one.
What's my point? If you can get a rolling chassis (or better yet, build one) that is AWD, you can make it look like any car you want just by modeling the exterior.
I know what you are trying to accomplish, but you are looking at TONS of fab work to convert a Prelude to AWD (or most any FWD or RWD car for that matter) and in the end, you might as well have built a chassis from scratch, especially with an AWD vehicle. They're more balance-dependant that most.
Anyhow, I don't mean to sound like an asshole. I'm simply being realistic. If I were to tackle such a job, I would build my own tube frame and model the wheelbase after the Prelude so I could use body parts to make it look like a Prelude.
Only my $.02, tho.
