Car is in the best hands now. Glad to see the videos coming out now.
Thanks Edgar! More to come :)
I like it! That standard shift is interesting!
Thank you!
Your channel never gets old. I can't wait to see the finished product.
I appreciate that!
Jeepers Tyson, another restoration project!?! It'll be epic to have a matching pair of Sherwood Green Legends, looking forward to seeing the project unfold.
Can't wait!
This is going to be an awesome revival project! Having a matching sedan to the coupe. Just be sure to sell as a pair if you ever decide to do so to make room for the next Acura projects. Also, your mom had a great taste with the Niche Bella wheels - that was the wheels to have in the late 90s!
Haha, I know, those 18s had fitment issues (8 inches wide, and the Legend requires a very high offset) so the rears rubbed under load or cornering. But the look was def period-correct!
Those old pics look pretty damn clear for 90's camera phone tech 😊
Haha those were def not a camera phone! Those were legit film prints 😎
I can't wait to see the progress of this one! Seeing how good the two-door came out, this will be no exception!
Thank you! It will be a fun one for sure!
I'm looking forward towards the outcome of this Legend restoration! Should be interesting.
Same here!
Time stamp 4:25 ish.... I still recall the song playing while I test-drove that Green RL! It was Tracy Chapman's "Fast Car" and I fell in love. At the time, it was way over my budget but I had to spring for it! No regrets! You're perhaps the only one I know who has outnumbered me in car ownerships. Atta boy! Sherwood Green, eh? Sure would like to drive it when project completion is realized. ;)
That’s a classic!
Lucky car to be in such good restoration hands.
Thanks Tom
i love hondas from 90s...love their interior and engine..
Agreed!
Ah, so now I know what you do when not at the Radwood show - hunting for more Legends! :) Looking forward to seeing another great resto series. Take care!
Haha exactly! Timing worked out perfectly to check this baby out while I was in the area. Hope to see ya at this year’s show!
As the World turns...nice Tyson. Taking da '93 out tomorrow. Needs a good drive. Be well my friend.
Enjoy the drive!! 😎
Love how many addons this car has! Especially love the “chromed” wheels and gold center caps!
Haha. Those were the first to go unfortunately. They leaked air due to chrome flaking / pitting.
@@TysonHugie such a common problem such a bummer!
That’s awesome man. I’ve been slacking on mine but you are giving me motivation. I look forward to the build!
Thank you!
This is awesome Tyson! The dash on this thing is in great shape, has all the potential! Heck looks like all the gauges work (must be nice) haha. And the music choice has "Legend" in it. You're detail oriented my friend 😁
Haha, you're the only person to notice that about the soundtrack. Always have to have a theme going on! Looking forward to your Legend sedan build too...
Yep! Tyson you are officially the Legend King!! This is going to be another awesome project!
I hope so!
And I thought I was crazy recently buying a 2010 TL SH-AWD thinking my 06 RL needed a companion.😅
Keep up the good work, sir. Hope to come visit your Museum someday.
Welcome to pay a visit. And I think your RL definitely needs a friend! Haha
Can't wait to see this project going forward. This is going to be LEGEN - wait for it - Dary. As every time.
Haha thank you!
I'm impressed with the condition of that interior for something that sat outside in California, the sun really destroys our headliners and stuff.
Yeah it's not too bad!
Reminds me of the GS 6spd I once owned. Too many projects is a mixed blessing but I'm glad you're willing to take on this one. Can't wait to see how this one comes out
Haha I know. My focus was finishing one car at a time. The RSX is done (videos pending) so here we go!
Waooooo another great lovely piece of art
Yes already completed and sold!
Love watching these restorations. I am getting close to purchasing a 94 Legend coupe
Good luck and keep me posted!
@@TysonHugie will do!! Always thought the coupe was a timeless design even almost 30 years ago when I first saw one.
I admire your dedication to restoring Legend(s). OE parts are getting more difficult for early 90s cars. Hope you can make a video about how deep someone should consider on projects. I am trying not to OCD with perfection on my 95 Civic.
That's the struggle for sure, knowing where to draw the line. I have learned the hard way that you'll go crazy trying to make everything perfect.
Stoked for ya! Another epic find! You are truly the legend of legends! Looking forward to seeing the restoration. YEAH, BUDDY!
Thanks sir! Looking forward to having some fun with this one…
All you need now is a vigor in your collection! 👍🏾
Absolutely. I had one from 2015 to 2020. There’s a video about it on my page :)
Looking forward to see the final product! Hope you put this one up for sale when it's all done!
Congratulations on another great car!
Thank you! Yes this one will be for sale. I can’t justify keeping 4 Legends, haha.
Ah, man, I’m here for the latest restoration journey! Mechanically, at least, it seems things are pretty solid, right?
Also, do I spy one of my favorite Acuras from the last 20 years sitting on your property? A CL? Tell us more!! 😄
Yep! That was my friend Eric’s and I posted a vid about it in December!
Very excited about this!
Me too, thanks!
Love this vid!!! I can't wait to see the whole restoration. I'm a big acura fan, I've owned 3 so far and definitely am interested in any cars you might end up parting ways with. Keep making the awesome acura content
You bet. Thanks for watching!
Hello Tyson my name is Aaron!
Hi Aaron
Finally a 'modded' legend in your fleet. I see the OBX headers/stromung exhaust. How about this restoration you make some cool upgrades not just a stock one :)
i'm glad edgars car was saved
The Stromung is already gone. This one will get my regular OEM treatment... so if anyone wants some OBX headers for stock, I'm all ears haha.
@@TysonHugie I do have some oem type 2 manifolds and y pipes and cat and muffler just saying… lol. Sadly don’t have a b pipe tho. If I needed obx headers I’d say yes, but sadly I have 2 sets here and now you can buy them new lol no longer discontinued
Did this come from Bernardino? I remember him putting those Jaguar tray tables in the back seats on the ALOE page. I can't wait to see the journey and the results!
The engine came from his car! But I got the car from Edgar
Yayyyy another Legendary Legend ,they’re the best Acura’s imo. I have to say why 😤do people keep doing these red caliper’s. They age and cheapen the car. I also have used The California Duster as a hood prop 😂. And it has the fog lights awesome. Acura used this green color for the legend and it seems quite a bit 🤔. It’s like Honda did with the rosewood color ☺️.
Yep the green was very popular. Calipers have already been refinished since receiving the car! Stay tuned!
@@TysonHugie awesome 🤩
There's no reason to believe this restoration will not turn out exceptionally well after all your gaining quite a bit of experience and have some great resources. But the burning question I'm sure everyone wants answered is... how the heck are you keeping that garage floor so clean!?
I run across the floor with a supermarket-style wide broom first to get the dust bunnies, then hit it with a diluted cleaner like Simple Green and a towel. It needs quite a bit of upkeep!
Lot of work but looks great!
Awwwww, CeciLia in the background. Nice. Curious where TiLly's twin was headed too! That one doesn't seem to be THAT big of a project?
Yeah so far it hasn’t been too bad!!
6speed legend would be awesome too own someday, especially v6 manual Honda/Acura cars are gone forever.
That's for sure
Nice i wish i would be this lucky 😊
It's going to be a fun one!
Hey Tyson, could you create a playlist for this car’s restoration?
Sure, I already did! It's 9 videos. ua-cam.com/video/wzOo7ebpEOM/v-deo.html
LegendLand Arizona!!!!!!!!!
Haha. I guess!
Your mom's Legend with the period correct Niche Bellas looked great! As we used to say.... "ballin" Great find on this Legend. Just thought of something as you spoke about your favorites. You not a Vigor guy ?
Love the Vigor! I owned a 1994 GS sedan 5-speed from 2015 through 2020. I had to make some tough decisions and let it go. I only have so many indoor parking spots.
Hi, excellent video. Congratulations! I would like to know your opinion for a 2016 Acura TLX V6 3.5l? I have this car with 50000miles and I would to know is reliable. Thanks
Hi, I have not owned one of those TLX models yet but from what I understand they are reliable. Hope it serves you well. Thanks for watching.
That’s so funny my mom did the same with the chrome 😅
It was in style back then
LOL, you even have an SLX. Hilarious. High quality Isuzu built vehicle.
@@777jones correct!
Tyson, would you be willing to sell the handset? I have the entire phone set up in my car missing the handset. Funny enough, my car is a carbon copy of this one, a sherwood green '94 GS 6 speed.
Awesome! I don't have the handset anymore unfortunately... I think I donated it to the raffle for this year's National Acura Legend Meet. Love to see some pics of your car if you have any.
Hello, good content, how do I know what the GS version is?
16-inch five-spoke wheels, body-color grille surround, Type II 230hp motor, available 6-speed manual transmission, a few other things.
@@TysonHugie Thank you very much bro
Where can I find one of these? I've been looking for a GS standard.
I’ll be selling this one when it’s finished
💣👍
Thanks!
Id like to own a manual legend here in Germany.
@@Krezo200 they are great cars
Is that your 3.2CL Type S?
I was storing a car for a friend
I found one n was heartbroken it had 107k on it but did carfax n it stated the odometer has less miles than the actual car n now I’m nervous about the whole thing man
Yes that’s a red flag for sure. If the car checks out otherwise, it might be worth pursuing for the right price
@@TysonHugie u have me thinking now. … it’s a 94 n the lady wants 1500 for it I’m gonna look more into it
I live in the UK and I've had 6 honda legend ka9 , same as your Acura 3.5rl. Never owned a better car and that includes the European luxury brands.
Very nice!
Looking for a 91 legend coupe 5speed with type2 116000km cobalt paint no rust in canada
@@MKhan-xx2yb You are looking, or you have one for sale? And is it a motor swap? Type II didn’t come until 1993
If you could find some Niche Bella wheels...
Haha right?!
@@TysonHugie Let me pull some coins together so I can cop something from your collection.
Lol it was in a high speed chase 🤣 Goes to show you what type of people like these cars lol
Haha for sure
Please sell me that Teal DA Integra GSR?!
It’s one of my faves!
@@TysonHugie I've been Honda my whole life. And for me nothing compares to the DA Integra. The B17A is the most rare Honda engine ever produced and The DA got it for 92 and 93💖
