hey guys..christmas time is around the corner
my friend owns an acura legend as a daily driver/beater..literally. the car has been in a lot of accidents and hit and runs. the passenger side fender is dented inward..bumper is not alligned well and scratch etc. i was hoping to help clean the car up a bit and maybe buy a few things for the car around the holidays. i need some advice of where to begin. any legend owners in here? also..is there any way to make this car in best shape again in 2 hours? thanks

 

First off, what generation legend does he own?

1st Gen (86-90) or 2nd Gen (90-95) and is it a coupe or sedan? Are you talking about buying body parts for him or aftermarket parts? And what do you mean best shape in 2 hours? Like the parts themselves only take 2 hours to put on? 2 hours is a pretty quick fix, and if you want it to be in its best shape, my guess is after 2 accidents, more than 2 hours would be required. My legend got hit on the drivers side fender, and it would've cost me up to $2000 to fix it in a body shop if i chose to do so. Parts and paint came out to around $500 i think.

 

OUCH
well im thinking i would just use trim paint and repaint the chipped off paint parts of the bumper. the dents id have to leave.
i believe it is a second gen. 2 hours i mean to make it a big improvement but nothing like fixing dents

 

if the only thing on the bumper is scratches, you could definetley buy some paint and clearcoat for well under $500 providing you have a the materials to sand it down and paint gun... if not, you could do a ghetto touch up job that if you do a good job on, could look flawless from afar.

 

thanks for the tips..
i am actually looking for an extremely cheap fix granted..i only have access to teh car for 2 hours or less
