Separated at Birth: How Twin Acura Legends Reunited After Nearly 25 Years

Posted on 2018/11/06 by Tyson Hugie

Twenty-five years a pretty long time:  it’s a quarter of a lifetime, for most of us.  And that length of time is an especially long time for a car to last these days.  Given average miles-per-year of 12,000, that puts… READ MORE →

This story isn't as crazy as the river NSX, but ch This story isn't as crazy as the river NSX, but check out this restoration project from @tysonhugie, who fixed up a local Acura Legend that he had first seen when he was 18 years old!

Repost from @tysonhugie: 

A project 23 years in the making 🏆 I posted about this 1995 Legend LS 6-speed last year, but I first saw it in December 2000 (!) when I was 18 years old. I stayed in touch with its original owner, Amy, since then. The car deteriorated over the years, to the point that she offered it to me to tow away for parts in September 2021. She didn’t know that I had plans to restore it. Over the last 18 months, this car got an engine overhaul, paint, interior, wheels, the works. It’s been a labor of love. And today, I showed up at her house to show her the finished product. Video coming to my YouTube soon. Her reaction was 100% worth the two-year restoration and 20-year wait to acquire the car. ❤️
