well guys today the legend wouldn't start!!!
which was shocking for me since it always starts right away
so im like WTF why wont it start then im like shit! i dont here the fuel pump
and i also notice i'm low on gas so i went and got my gas can put some more gas in it tried again still nothing!
call a friend over we check it for spark bam no spark at all!
find out the coil died! so i replaced it with a brand new Accel coil but then we start it and i'm like wtf it sounds like my 3 cylinder honda.. look under hood to make sure the spark plug wires are all the way in grab one to push it in farther and i got zapped to hell!! look at the wires there all dry rotted and cracked down to nothing!!! so now i need to get plug wires great!

i wanna get this set since there in my price renge but the boots dont look right on them

I know the NGK plug wires are pricey, but they are very good and will last a long time. I think last time I checked they were around $60.

Sucks about getting shocked, be careful.

Don't get those. They won't fit right. Like telafonic said, it's best to get the NGK.

what did u use to clean the rims, they're cleaner than i could ever get them..

for $250, its not bad. As long as its mostly stuff you can just put back together yourself, you made off with a good deal. reattach that bumper and sand it down, then grab a can of paint, it'll look 100x better. good luck with everything and can't wait for more updates!
