slight leak at the tstat ... should be ok now that ive tightened her a bit..

rarely shes parked rear-in rob ... garage has enough circulation for the stink not to linger..

garage is getting an overhaul this year.... new flooring.. door height extension and exhaust ports for both sides..

and some cleaning.. as you can see.. crap all over the place..

yeah its a tough life in that garage, I wish I had a garage let alone one with a lift in it!

IM about to attempt taking the condensor out without draining the antifreeze, hoping I can just slide the radiator away enough to do

what I got to do, new condensor will be here tomoroww so hopefully I can get the bumper back on tomroww as well

I did it, actually think it almost HAS to come out the front and not the engine side.



Think I should get a new dryer too?



My condensor came today, so tomoroww I can bring it all down to the hose joint and get my custom AC lines made, I mocked it all up, basically I need to use the one FC line and change the compressor side to a FD fitting, and the line going to the condensor I can use the FD line but need it cut short and put the FC end on the condensor side.

dropped off all the ac lines to get fabbed up, going with all new lines using the mazda compressor fittings with AN adaptors welded on them.

I got tired of looking at it in the shop so I pulled it outside to stick it in its tent, right now I figure im about 50lbs light in the front end right now compared to before all this, so I think the front end will settle in some once I actually drive the car.
