As a body guy When I see a car in sanded primer like this one was in the shop I think of the many hours it takes to get the prep done to get it to come out perfect.Thus why a good paint job isn't cheap. These guys do a really good job. The outside looks new again! Sure has gone through a transformation! Definitely fortunate to have such great auto professionals there in Phoenix.
Those cars just love those Michelin tires. My dad when he worked for Honda said they came from the factory with the Michelins. Smooth as glass down the road. 😊
Looks awesome, brings me back down memory lane, I was lucky I got to drive and detail these from new, really cool! Nice to see one saved, a very very nice ride!
08:16 - I agree!! I like a very light / legal window tint > "dude bro, just make it as dark as possible dude bro" look... Then just buy a car cover or nice window shade when it's outside parked. Nice work again as always!!
Yes NO TINT , it ages the car . And the front bumpers are lined up perfectly. The new seats are amazingly factory 😮. It’s just beautiful 🤩. Nothing will ever look as good as the 90’s luxury cars. So many people desired this car back then and still do.🫠
That generic rear window seal turned out much better than I was imagining. Unless you knew, you'd think it was the factory finish. Car is starting to look great, not too far to go now!
Im watching from Scotland , ive had 6 ka9s , this is putting me in the mood for a ka7. Ive had dozens of cars and nothing has satisfied me like the Legend.
Apex - "What's up with this guy bringing us all these Acuras for?" HAHA. Looking good Tyson and Apex Wet Works did another phenomenal job! Regarding the window moldings - I would have them removed, then repainted in matte black and reinstalled. Metal moldings > rubber aftermarket moldings.
Looks great! Can't wait to see the whole thing completed. I'm dealing with the same thoughts with mine - where do you stop once you start replacing parts? I keep finding things that can be better so I order more stuff. Really appreciate all you do to save these cars and restore them to greatness!
The car looks absolutely gorgeous - whatever money was required for the body work was absolutely well spent. Seats look fantastic as well. Can’t wait to see the final product! Any mechanical stuff left to do, or is that all sorted now?
Few things make me happier than when i see a classic car with a showroom quality paint job! Beautiful!
Couldn't agree more!

Agreed! The results speak for themselves
That is some of the nicest paint I've ever seen on a classic car. Thanks for investing your time and money into restoring this beauty !
Thank you, I appreciate it!

You bet, and glad you agree!
Awsome job Tyson!! Bro you are definitely keeping the Legend alive. Much respect 👊🏿

What a transformation. Apex knocked it out of the park. You are a true enthusiast! Great job (as always).
Thank you so much 😀

This is the fun part when I can start to see the finish line

Thanks! 👍
Tyson I was waiting on this update car is transforming beautifully in front of our youTube eyes.. I'll be watching this one for sure!!
Absolutely! I will keep you in the loop!
Exciting progress! Apex Wet Works really did knock it out of the park with that paint finish. Spectacular! Can't wait to see the next video
Thanks, yeah I’m thrilled with it! More to come 😀
The ride home looks like fun!
That scooter has saved me a fair amount of money on Uber rides already!

Awesome! Thanks for watching
@@TysonHugie you're welcome, I'm enjoying your channel.

Awesome, looking forward to seeing you guys
@@TysonHugie when abs where is it taking place , this would be the first time for us to join and we are really looking forward to it
Apex magicians! 🪄🤩

Very true! Clips were broken / discontinued so we picked this path.
the car is coming together nicely. thank you for sharing the progress.
Of course! More to come!
When it comes to car paint work, DEFINITELY a case of "you get what you pay for".
That’s for sure
Nice! Ready to see the finished product! I’ll be getting the same paint job.
Excellent!
Great progress Tyson!
Thanks, it's getting there!
What a mirror finish on that paint! Beautiful!! 😍
Thank you!
Isaac and the boys are the best, was just there on Friday to pickup my EP3's Type R front bumper
Awesome, they are definitely awesome
Looks great! Can't wait to see the whole thing completed.
I'm dealing with the same thoughts with mine - where do you stop once you start replacing parts? I keep finding things that can be better so I order more stuff.
Really appreciate all you do to save these cars and restore them to greatness!
Absolutely! Glad you can relate!
Unbelievable transformation! Great work.
So far, so good!
It’s beautiful 👀😱
Thank you!
It looks amazing!!
Thank you!
Make sure they use aftermarket molding that has a chrome insert already on it. I own an auto glass company and that would look great on this car.
Thank you Dave
It looks great 👍 👌
Thank you!
Paint looks beautiful! I’ve been looking for a place to repaint my 85 and 86 CRXs after the replacement panels come in.
If you are local to AZ hit these guys up
@@TysonHugie yes I am
Sweet!!
Thank you!

It runs and drives perfectly, but I'm planning on doing a few maintenance items just for good measure
Miss my legend! You spent all that money for paint. Finish it off with xpel PPF to keep that front end chip free
Good call
Legends were one of the greatest cars ever built along the SEL series of Benz.
# Save the OEM look👌🫡
Agreed!
What was it like driving the legend without the passenger seats?
Haha pretty spacious
Ludacris has an Acura legend. He can't even find parts for it, yet you've got a fountain of them lol
It's a struggle sometimes for sure
is the color Cyprus green?
or sherwood?
