Hello folks, my name is Todd! My awesome daughter Talia and I just picked up an old 1989 Honda Prelude 2.0S. We’ve got our work cut out for us! It runs great, but has some rust to fix, lots of cleaning, and a few regular repairs. We’ve done a few repairs already since we got it a few days ago. I’m gonna do my best to keep up on this thread with updates and such.
Here is a pic of the car:

On Sunday, after we got the car home, I cleaned and lubricated all the weatherstrip, latches, and hinges.
Yesterday was our first full day with the car. We cleared out the sunroof drains and removed the sunshade because it was covered in fuzzy green mold!
We also installed new wipers, put tape over the hole in the hood, checked the tire pressures, and put a moisture absorbing thing in the interior.
I checked into the power steering not working, the reservoir was empty. I filled it and tested the power steering only to have the high pressure line split and spray fluid everywhere! This prompted a purchase of kitty litter and the need for a new high-pressure line.
