Also take it easy. Don't accelerate around corners.

Yeah I had maybe a quarter size amount of rust on the whole car. Now it is around the wheel wells and undercarriage. Its amazing how fast it spreads.

talk about a beater for the winter...
Can anyone here get QQ plates for a Honda?
I just picke up a 1982 Honda Prelude. Its like a box on wheels.
It handles good in the rain and gets great gas mileage, this is going to be my winter car. I got the car from my neighbor who was the original owner. He bought a new car and had no room for it, so he just gave it to me. I had to rebuild the carb( ohh yea this baby has a carb!) got some new tires and she's good to go. Its only $300 for insurance for 6 months. So i figured I'll save more than that on gas and I don't have to put more miles on the camaro going to school and stuff.
