- We are about there with this car! It's been a long process, but totally worth it! Thanks for coming along for this adventure.
Man I cry every time I think about my green 95 legend ls 4 door I had back in the mid 90s. I miss that car.
They are great rides!
Tyson: You are the man. The Legend coupe is looking great. Your garage is full of coolest Acura and Honda cars.
Thank you, I appreciate it!
Beautiful restoration. In my opinion, the Acura Legend LS 6spd is one of the sexiest luxury coupes ever made
Thank you!
Love the attention to original details! Coming along great!
Thank you, it's been a fun one for sure!
Wow 🤩 I’m blown away and I love it because you even got the fog lights. 🥳🥳🥳 No one would believe it from the before appearance but now it looks like a garage queen 👑 with 35,000 miles.
Haha yes! Had to get the fogs... all about the details like that! Thank you!
Amazing attention to detail. It's all coming together nicely! Great job! The NSX cameo was a nice touch.
Thanks Ty!
Amazing! All of the videos in this series make me want to get out in the garage and work on my Legend.
Haha yes! Do it 😎
Admittedly I’m a mustang guy, but I’m a huge fan of the vintage Hondas and Acuras form the mid 80’s through the early 2000’s. Had several Hondas from that period. Love the MT Legend Coupes, along with the MT CL Type S’s!
Great work 👍
Thanks Matt!
Golden era.
Sad that Honda never made an Acura RL coupe after the Legend had coupes.
I agree!
Cl type s 2003
Amazing progress Tyson! I'm so impressed with how it looks today, especially all of the details. Hope to see it one day!
You for sure will!
Tyson, almost a bit emotional watching this. Takes me back to 2007... The work you have done is remarkable. Thank you for sharing and taking me back in time :)
Aw thanks Neil!
It looks absolutely phenomenal. What a transformation compared to what it was. Looks just as good as your gold one.
Thanks so much 😊
Great job! It looks wonderful. Car show ready.
Thanks Justin! And I hear you'll have some exciting content to publicly share soon as well :)
Just got done watching part 6 and this was uploaded 3 minutes after lol nice
Haha keeping you entertained!
@@TysonHugie question were did you get your dash cover from
I have been looking forward to all the parts 1-7,the legend came out awesome!!!
Thank you, I'm pretty happy with it!
Wow Tyson it looks really great!!! Wonderful restoration..
Thank you very much!
Your Legend coupe looks so amazing and all brand new. Great video. 👍🏼
Thank you Josh!
Wow 😍 Looks incredible, I can almost smell the new leather from here 😋
Haha, it's a great smell for sure! Thanks Tim!
I’m a bit stuck for words! It’s beautiful. It’s been saved, lovingly brought back. Great work :) I honestly would love to have that in my garage 😊
Thank you so much!
@@TysonHugiehello from NY are any of your Acura restorations for sale?
Wow what a wonderful transformation! Love your restorations!
Thank you!!
buying a 93 coupe tomorrow, automatic unfortunately but im looking for a 6spd swap... me watching this whole journey of you restoring this 95 legend just motivates me to restore this one im getting... i dont see alot of acura legend content on the internet and these cars are going extinct so it just makes me happy seeing stuff like this.
Congrats on your coupe and keep me posted!
What an amazing transformation! Hard to believe it's the same car! ...and yes, I care about proper rear plate holders too. 😜
Haha glad you can relate!
Always wanted Legend coupe with the manual transmission! Looking good 👍
Thanks Lucio!
Absolutely awesome workmanship on the Acura Legend Coupe. I personally had a 1988 Honda Legend Coupe in two tone burgundy and dark grey which i loved driving when i was in my 20's. I regretted selling the car. But i always wanted the 1995 Honda Legend Coupe, maybe one day i might do the same and restore it! Fingers crossed! Great Video 👍
Thank you! Hopefully you can get another Legend someday.
Love the attention to detail Tyson! Even exact sticker placement. Next video you should do a side by side before and after and include the excel file list of repairs and $s.
I was actually thinking of some before/after stuff, and sharing the cost breakdown! Thanks Luke!
Transformation is crazy! Love that coupe
Thanks Travis!
Got to say that little detail would have totally driven me crazy haha. While an upgrade to body color paint on plastic trims is nice, I've got to say I'm definitely a stickler on keeping things the way they should be
Haha glad you can relate
I'm so jealous that you have these wonderful Legends. Here in the European part it is a very rare car. Excellent restoration, nothing rejuvenates the interior like seats in good condition. Great idea with the black tape lol, I also did it on my Accord, because the original moldings are no longer available and used ones are all in bad condition.
Thank you! I appreciate it
Finally just purchased my first Acura and 3rd Honda product in my garage. 2011 TSX Sport Wagon stupid Clean! Always like the videos Tyson
Congrats on the wagon! I have a goal of getting one someday!
Love it. I learned something !
I need to replace my window moldings as well and I was wondering how I’d find them. I’ll circle with you when I get motivated. 🤯
Please do! Look forward to chatting 😀
Great work, Tyson. Inspires me to continue restoring my 94 LS coupe. Would be done by now if funds were abundant lol. Till then It resides in the garage awaiting perfection.
Gotta have patience for something like this. I'm sure you will get yours back to 100% in due time!
Priceless! Congrats for all the effort, it is simply amazing.
Thank you!
That car is one of my favorite cars from Acura believe it or not. Just here where I live they are all beat up. This older man by my parents house had a super nice one. Always kept it garaged and covered. You could tell it was his baby. I definitely need to see this beautiful car. I need to make plans to drive up there
Keep me posted if you end up contacting him on that!
@@TysonHugie he no longer lives there. Not sure if he passed away. He was very old and this was back in 2008
Awesome work as always. I love the videos and wish more would come faster! As to recreating the photograph, I think some photoshop magic could definitely do the trick to recreate the old dealership. What would be needed would be some period correct photographs and the new photographs and some photoshop compositing and boom …
That's a good idea!
Looking good Tyson!
Thank you Andy!
Fellow Acura lover myself! I love seeing your projects. I own a 92 White DB2 and a 98 CL 2.3. Would love to see you do A CL.
Thank you! I had a red 1999 CL, if you go back in time on my videos a few years.
Very well done!
Here's a few tips that you might find useful...
- Instead of electrical tape which won't hold up long when it gets hot since we're already in the 80's, try using black car wrap. You might try a local shop that has some black scrap pieces or maybe Amazon.
- Not sure if your already using it but if not try 3M spray adhesive for the air box label. When prepped right it's not coming off.
- In the future try matte clear coat over the black paint work.
- Lastly I'm not sure which dealer but it's either AOT or Tempe Honda has a parts guy who used to work at Bell Acura. If he's still there you might find him and if luckier he may have pics.
Almost forgot, call ARC, they can definitely help with getting the interior color matched so it looks consistent...
Otherwise you did some excellent work here very proud to see you're still sweatin' the details!
Great tips all around! Thanks!!
Lovely work as always, with a CMiller cameo too! Attention to detail is second to none. 👏
Haha yes! Had to catch Chris in action while he was here for Barrett-Jackson in January.
Unbelievable Tyson!
Thanks Marc!
Great work Tyson! The time, dedication and attention to detail is really inspiring.
Thank you! I appreciate it!
Beautiful restoration Tyson. I too appreciate the correct color for the license plate bracket. Will we be seeing this car at NALM 2023?
You'll probably see the tan Legend coupe but I'm not 100% on that yet!
Really would love one of those air filter decal stickers for my box.
I had an extra but gave it away. Maybe I’ll need to make a few more copies.
That would be great thanks! I’m willing to purchase. Thank Ty
Absolutely stunning.
Watching your videos puts my OCD at ease! Lol Excellent attention to detail!
There's a company that sells reproduction Honda stickers. I wonder if they make them for the Legend.
Oh yeah, you might be talking about Retro Tuner!
“Nobody else would care but me”. Absolutely love your conviction on the little details that really add up to the total package. Was that coolant leak anything serious?
Just a hose, I think. And definitely - glad you can relate to the love for details!
Wow! It looks fantastic! Listen, someday when the Accord is in need of a refresh, can I just drop it off with you for a couple months and then pick it up when you’re done? 😂
(Seriously - the Legend looks absolutely terrific. Really well done!)
Haha, sounds like a plan. And thanks!
Love the car and the effort you've put in! Hope to see more content
More to come!
Amazing bro!
Thank you!
Hey I want all of the legends Best car I ever owned had red coupe and a green 4 door ls miss them both
They are great cars!
I had a 93 legend. same color I had no issues until my head gasket went
Thanks for watching
Amazing attention to detail. Wasn’t that little cubby in the rear window of the Legends such an interesting storage area? I have to ask, is your daily a museum piece too lol 😂? You’d barf riding in my clapped out viper ….
Haha, my daily ILX is a little rough around the edges but still nice looking for 11 years and 243k miles.
did you have the quarter window removed for the paint job? The molding on my car's quarter window is very tight so it's very difficult to get a clean mask and paint so I'm thinking if I should have the window removed. Concern is it may break or the molding may also break. your thoughts?
Yes lots of issues can happen with removing moldings and windows on a car this old. They left windows in on this one.
How about the Acura CL Type S with the 6 speed manual transmission? Also one of favorite Acuras of all time .
Yes I made a recent video on one! They are great cars.
Looking very nice 👌, question where could I get the molding for the rear and front windshields both my legends need it. Car looks amazing btw.
The front we reused the old moldings. The rear, the window was removed and we used a universal molding. Thanks!!
You lost me with the electrical tape lol
Haha, what were you going to suggest? Masking and painting that teeny little strip is eventually the plan.
@@TysonHugie “Anything worth doing is worth doing right” -My dad
I mightve missed it, what leather kit (brand/company) did you use? also the lower door panels you can recover those in new vinyl for about $50 just fyi. but take the driver one back off and reglue the front by the speaker grill (ocd lol)
Yes the panels aren't perfect. The leather was all custom cut by a local shop called TrimFit, it took 3 months!
Hello Tyson do you have any more of those decals for the air box in the engine bay I am willing to purchase one of those stickers.
Unfortunately I don’t but I might have to make some more.
I have a 95 legend 6 speed and I need to restore the the interior would you be able to guide me. Specially the wood trim any help would be much appreciated.
I picked up the console as a refurbished unit from a friend, and sourced other interior woodgrain parts from Ebay. Definitely reach out to me via email and maybe I can help.
"Window run channel" is that what they call that piece? Those things
annoy me as they warp on the ends
and won't lay flush! Also, lived in Arizona for about a year and the dust that would appear in the engine compartment was something else!
Haha yeah, plenty of dust. I don't remember where I heard or read the word "window run channel" but it's more just a piece of chrome accent molding I guess.
Good job! I have to change gum on Rear window too. Where did you find the gum?
The glass replacement shop had it
Looks great! Who did you say did your moldings? I live in Phoenix.
Triple J Auto Glass on Jefferson in downtown near the airport
I love your attention to detail. I have to repaint the wiper arms on my Integra. I'm not sure if they are matte black or semi-gloss. Nobody seems to know including the parts department guy I've dealt with. What would you recommend?
I usually do "satin" which actually seems to be a little bit between matte and semi gloss, if you can find it.
@@TysonHugie Thanks Tyson. I will certainly look for it.
@@marcperras9072 What year and model is your Integra, interested in selling it?
@@strangeclouds7 1994 GSR. I bought it new in 94. It is a Canadian model with 90,666 kilometer on the odometer. No, I'm never going to sell it. My 26 year old son wouldn't let me. Thank you for your interest. Cheers.
@@marcperras9072 Wow that's great, gsr with very low miles! Very hard to find nice examples these days especially with low miles/km.
Heyyy there Mr. Tyson I hope you're well. Could you tell me if you plan on selling the LEGEND or not, but if you are how much would you be asking?? I'm assuming a fair price since you definitely seem a really Fair kinda guy!! Thank you, Phil from NYC.
This one is not for sale. It cost me over $30,000 to restore. Thanks Phil!
@@TysonHugie I can't say that I blame you for not selling it & thank you for your reply back to me. The 2 door 95 Legend Coupe has always been one of my 5 top favorite cars since they came out & I do believe I'll eventually get one. But hey if you should ever decide that you do decide to sell one of them could you possibly keep me in mind, also because that's actually my favorite green color that it came in besides the Pearl White!! Thanks again & have an Awesome Christmas & New Year's!!
Hi Hugie
Do you have any measurements for the placement of the acura logo for the bootlid.
Thanks in Advance
Ash
About 1" from the left edge of the trunk to the left side of the emblem. About 1.5" from the bottom edge of the trunk to the bottom of the emblem.
Thanks Hugie
Where to get rubber molding from. I've been looking and did'nt have much luck
Universal molding by a glass shop
@@TysonHugie thanks
You said that the trunk Acura badge was a few inches lower than it was supposed to be...so that means that in the past someone took the badge off and then it was put back on incorrectly at some time ? Truly bizarre.
Why is that bizarre? The car received paint work previously. Body shops always remove and reinstall emblems for stuff like that.
@@TysonHugie So it received paint work and then the clear coat failed ? I guess that's possible...Anyways, great work on the restoration. It was so satisfying to see the transformation. Your videos have made me itch for a manual Legend myself - I really like the look and feel of them. Unfortunately it seems they are next to impossible to find nowadays.
Can't find the fog lights for 94 Acura legend coupe. What other fog light might fit the Legend coupe
The lenses are actually the same from the 99-00 Civic Si. You’d have to fabricate some brackets though.
@@TysonHugie ok. Thanks my buddy was telling me the 94 Honda Prelude & 94 Honda civic fog lights will fit. I'm try to see if it works. Thanks for your info
I have a 95 acura legend ls, where do you find parts?
eBay and Facebook groups
If possible can you get part's for the coupe manual if so link me
They are difficult to find
NALM gonna be mad they laughed at this car!
Haha yes they did! (But so did I) it was a pile!
Ludacris will buy this
Ain’t for sale
I ment to say hes a fan of this model
This car for sale?
Unfortunately I’m going to keep this one, but I’ll have a 4-door for sale
If you know of anyone that has part's also link me
Email Alan Jackson, are you on the Facebook group(s)?
They are the best cars on the road in my book. Had mine for a long while, had it chipped, ported, polished, weight reduction ect. Top speed was 160mph and could do the quarter in 13.9 sec.
Wow, that's speedy!
Ya she was a freak lol
Hey Tyson.. where did you get new windshield moldings.. I've been looking for some for a while.. if you can point me to the right direction I'd really appreciate it.
We reused the existing windshield moldings, just refinished them
@@TysonHugiethanks for your help. your legend restorations are all awesome!!
