Ben. Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 '92 Acura Legend. Body is pretty haggard, no dents..just piss poor paint. Did come with amp, woofers (alpine, alpine headunit as well) kenwood door speakers..stereo is pretty clear. Overall I can't say it was TOO bad for 800 bucks.. Could have been worse. Gonna' wash it down and clean it up to see what it needs the most. As of now it's lacking a front left blinker and the corner lights don't work. Yea, I've got some SERIOUS work ahead of me..firstly..fixing the wiring job numbnuts who had it before me did for the stereo system and everything else. Hack job garbage. I suppose it could have been worse.. Much much worse. But it runs, the air is COOOOOOLD and it pulls pretty good to be 18 years old.. I can't complain. Dunno what kinda' rims or springs or even exhaust (if any, may just be an axleback) it has on it yet.. I do know there is "HP" centercaps on the rims ..that's about the extent of it.

I think my bunny slippers just went running for cover! I see a challenge does not scare you. I say good for you, if you can resurrect that into something great you is da man!

Ben. Posted June 12, 2010 Author Share Posted June 12, 2010 With the exception of a horrendous front bumper, GARBAGE paintwork and a few flaws on the body, it's pretty well straight. Seats either go, or are reupholstered..if I can find a donor car it'll make things a LOT easier. Missing some clips from the dash and whatnot, as well as the front end.. tempted to just ride without a bumper cover. With my upcoming move I should have plenty of money after my bills are minimized and paid to get this thing going the way I want to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevotron5000 Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 Is that 4-gauge power wire I see running along the DS? Seriously though, should be nice once you get her sorted out, plus for $800 why the hell not? I've always had a soft spot for the Legends...

Ben. Posted June 12, 2010 Author Share Posted June 12, 2010 No idea.. Black is such a whore to keep clean. Especially in polleny, hot and nasty Florida. I need to clean up the bay a little bit before I'm comfortable posting pictures LOL, that and the jackass before me put shocks on the hood rather than the old fashioned prop rod -- so that means one thing. Shocks for the hood are going bad. Won't hold it open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Repsol Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 Dood, That car has mad potential. I like it lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben. Posted June 13, 2010 Author Share Posted June 13, 2010 That'd be why I bought the old bird. Big, wide 2 door coupe that's got something similar to a JDM Integra front on it.. Not to mention some of the factory stuff still works -- like when you don't shut the door all the way the car will do it for you. Apparently when the pin on the door goes into the latch on the body there are motors attached to it that pull the door shut completely. The quarter windows even roll down LOL.

SIR_VTEC Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 I see potential...needs a little TLC....how many miles are on the car? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben. Posted October 12, 2010 Author Share Posted October 12, 2010 I see potential...needs a little TLC....how many miles are on the car? i'd estimate around 130K to 150K.. Cluster isn't original. Motor is pretty stout, tranny acts weird. Car has been down for a couple months now.. Started with the A/C compressor locking down..snapping the belt, I'm not driving a car without A/C in Florida again.. Parked it in the back yard, bought what I needed to fix it.. Went to start the car and now it doesn't start. Soooo it's been down for a while now. Tempted to just sell it to a junkyard, was an epic waste of money for me.

Ben. Posted October 12, 2010 Author Share Posted October 12, 2010 You still got this ol hunker? Didn't see this post but yea, it's been sitting in the backyard for a while now. I haven't invested too much time in it. I feel kinda' guilty about it, but it just doesn't tickle my fancy anymore -- especially not with the way it started acting after sitting in the backyard for a mere two weeks.
