Not that drastic I wouldn't think? Replace the bootlid and bonnet clears the vast majority up by the looks, then there's a couple to try and get paintless dent rmoved on the roof and rear quarter. Could either try and pull out the one on the front wing, or just replace that too.

Jesus Christ! What are you going to do?

At least it wasn't vandals as that would just add to your fury, but still

I was completely shocked to be honest. I already survived the previous hailstorm without a single scratch, but this one was too furious. They said that the hail rocks fell from the sky with speed up to 100 km/h. You can see on the photos how big pieces hit my car. I must say I'm somehow satisfied all glass survived the storm as this was not the case for most of the other cars. Next to my car there was a Porsche Cayenne, Mercedes S-Class, and a M3 which were not so lucky like me. As a matter of fact there are very few cases of broken windows of Honda Prelude after the hailstorm. Especially considering how big are the front and the rear one.
Well, I love my car big time so I decided I won't change the whole shell. I have a friend who has a more than 30 years of experience as a tinsmith and who promised me that he will restore the car in a like new shape. He told me he will pull out every single hole one by one and will make sure the amount of filler needed is minimal. I will probably repaint the whole car, including the healthy parts like fenders, etc. Unfortunately this is going to slow down my project.

What I have for my project so far:
- HKS adjusting gears
- Mitsubishi Evo 510cc injectors
- King bearings
- Honda original parts for rebuilding the engine
- Accord Type-R intake manifold almost ready for installation
- 68mm Phearable throttle body

So, what's next:
- repair and replace some body elements then repaint
- Bisimoto Level 2 NA camshafts
- Bisimoto springs and retainers
- Headwork, milling, valve job, porting, etc

The target is 12.0:1 compression ratio and some more ponies under the hood.

You can see a H22A Civic (a friend of mine) with very similar setup to my own. The only big difference apart from the car itself is that his camshafts are Brian Crower. Everything else is almost 1:1.

@eDaniel, what's that orange light that keeps popping up on the dash?

eDaniel · Post by **eDaniel** » Fri Aug 01, 2014 11:44 am

@Raggagirl The engine check light? Most tuners make this work as a shift light to remind you to change the gear at the right moment.

Hey Paul, I hope I will be able to restore it to its original condition. I won't give up easily, mate! Nor I will go cheap. Stay tuned for more news soon.

Ah, I see!

Good man, I'm sure you'll sort it in no time.
