Sharp looking Legend with 300k miles!

It's a 1994 Acura Legend LS coupe 6-speed. Still on the original engine, transmission, clutch, axles, exhaust, suspension (I have every receipt for every dollar spent on maintenance throughout the car's lifetime).
Recently had the roof, mirrors, hood, front fenders, and front bumper painted (fading and rock pitting consistent with age and mileage). All other paint is original.
This was the most involved detail I've ever done. Completely scrubbed and detailed undercarriage. Spent nearly an entire day on the engine, and a couple hours on the interior. I am currently using Meguiars Carnauba wax (step 3) along with a Mother's clay bar kit. Tires shined with Meguiar's Hot Shine and interior treated with Poorboys Natural Look.
The local Acura dealership is using the car as part of a high-mileage Service Department campaign, so it went into the showroom tonight.
Current mileage...
And the unveiling...
Scrubbed & painted wheel wells and undercarriage.
Repainted brake calipers.

Looking forward to the next 100,000 miles.

Wow...my old baby! *tear* Deff a timeless design...even after all these years! I used to think the 3G TL was a timeless design when it was first released...until almost every other car manufacture ripped off the design =/
Oh well, its the original out of the bunch

The Gen II Legend Coupe was awesome.
I had one in 91 and drove it for 110,000 miles before buying my first CL-S.
The “Made in Japan” Legend was the last high quality luxury car Acura built.
Quality and style has been all downhill since 1995.
