Also, all but one line came out intact and in pretty good shape for the A/C stuff, if someone wants it, just send me a PM and we can set something up.

Looking good!!! Glad to see that car coming back to life. It looked nice when I got it then started tearing into it and just shaking my head at all the half assed stuff on it. I think I drove it 3x before it shit the bed on me and life/moving/buying a house got in the way of working on it. Oh well, glad you have a good budget project and hope your not cursing me for a headache!!!

Not at all! I just needed something to slowly tinker with and eventually beat on on the weekends. :)

Got the car back over to the house so I could do some cleaning and other small things yesterday.
Pressure washing the entire car, mainly the engine bay:

Even the little man was helping me out:

I also picked up some headlights a while back, so I replaced those today also:

Old ones were in ok shape, but really cloudy. I got a great deal on these, so I figured I'd just replace them instead of trying to buff them out.

Much better.

One last thing, I deleted the rear wiper. Need to find a 28mm plug now. There's a guy on t00ners that sells some for 2g's, I'm going to be contacting him today as well to see if they are the same size or if we can come up with something that works. I just put some duct tape over it for now so keep the rain out.

Hmmm, I can't remember if I can get that condenser to fit with my FMIC. If someone knows that it will fit, I'm interested in the AC stuff.
