Default My Prelude...oh how I miss her...

I currently drive a Pearl White 1998 Prelude...but a couple years ago I had the below 1997 Prelude in my possesion...I bought her wrecked, dad and I repaired her at his body shop...I'd do anything to get her back. We altered the paint code, replaced the pearl with mica....the result was the beautifully transformed Eucalyptis... I miss her...enjoy

She went from:

What happened to it?

Great job on the restoration. The color is awesome too. Those seats sure look comfy.

It was hit in the rear end twice in the same night amazingly...I actually found the car listed in the classifieds on this site. Contacted the owner, drove to see, got one heck of a deal....

I think he was refering to why you say you "had" it and don't have it....you have the 98 now and you say you miss her but what happened that you don't have it no more???? cuz you did a great job fixing it up looked brand new i woulda kept that shyt lol

Money crunch...I was runnin' very low on funds and my dad ended up having a major surgery on his hands(being a painter that put him out of commision for several months) I held out as long as I could, but paying for fuel/insurance was killin' me...So I ended up letting her go to some college kid. If I could find her now I'd buy her in a heartbeat....

P.S. On a positive side note, we actually ended up opening our own autobody collision repair facility in central Ohio, and we're actually the preferred body shop for several Honda/Acura dealerships.
