It's ALIVE!

Quick finnish grammar:
Bensalenkkari = A person wearing dirty Karjala-cap and having gas on his shoes, usually owns Toyota Corolla and doesn't get the ladies.

Yesterday was a good day! We were lying on a sofa with a little hangover when Allu decided that it's time to take the Prelude out of the garage. Prelude had been standing still for 5 months and we had to see if it still runs. The only thing broken after standing all the winter was the last exhaust pipe holder. Also the car was a little stuck and we pull it out with The Mazda all mighty 1.8L! One person holding the pipe, one pulling it with Mazda and one pushing from the front we gladly got it out.

After charging the battery and checking fluids it was a time for a first start...

...and it works!

Well, there used to be four holders... :D
Can't wait to get back to work! Five moths of planning and doing research is finally over and we can get our hands dirty again. And Saana probably can't wait to get her hands on all the mould we found from the inside of the car - again. ;)

Translation: Kohtapa ei sitten jouda edes juopottelemaan kun pitää autoa rassata!

And we're back!

Spring is finally here and for our mental health we have to write something. For the last couple of weeks Allu have spent more time on searching for information and spare parts than sleeping. We've also had a car fever: replacing Civic with a last generation Prelude.

Sometimes it feels like we should seriously change the blog name to "Four Hondas, none of them working". :D Civic is almost done for the spring and it should go through the inspection next week. That piece of shit has been standing still from November.
Here's the white Prelude we've been fixing during the winter time (posting more about that later):

And you still remember the white 2nd gen prelude we have? It's also looking great!

Just heard yesterday that our dear friend Jesse can't wait to get welding again! The winter has been (obviously) cold and long enough for waiting. Luckily we've sill had the 5ft gen Prelude to fix regularly, so none of us had to go through antidepressants!
We look forward that the project will continue on April. We also think that the most precious Prelude doesn't even need any paint. Just look at it!
