2gen prelude wont start because (reverse battery terminals)

[yohan4ws]

guy reversed battery terminals ... i can buy the car for 50bux , the bumpers on front and rear are messed from an accident but th engine is still plenty good .. but it wont start now.

is it worth it? whats wrong with it? what can i do to try and get it started?

its an 85 base prelude 1.8L dual carb

i would buy it if i were you, even if you dont get it running again, you will be able to part it out for tons more than you paid for it, good investment if you have the space,

[AutodreamMarvin]

hey, i'll buy the motor from you jfor $75 if you buy it
$25 profit and you still have the rest of the car

check the fusible link.. its a little strip of metal that is an exposed fuse... probally the only thing wrong with it. (i forget where the link is on hondas)

Yah, I did that to my car by accident. (85 crx) After spending a bunch of time fixing it I went to boost it and hooked the cables up reverse. Its a little fuse that looks like a 2 sided wrench. The fuse box was right behind the battery

hey bud, if you dont buy that car, can you hook another bro up man, i need parts for my lude, (i aint got cash comin outta my ass so im planning on taking the suspension from another lude and cutting the coils down 1-2 inches and slappin sum 16's with lo pros on my car, and in the winter ill switch back, i cant offord coil overs, no job,) so if you dont wanna buy it, can you give me the guys number?
