Looks good Stan. Now all you need is a dream catcher hanging from rear veiw mirror.:yourock:

Nah. Look closer and you see the turquoise beads already hanging from there.

Soon you'll revert to your old hippy ways and grow some hair. :hippy2:

Yes. All it took was getting my first C-body back after finally realizing I was only BS'ing myself when I kept saying I didn't have the room...

very period ....!

You definitely get it!

So the car itself was for free. Then you could still bail out without a loss.

Sucks about the compressor! She was coming together so well!

 

[bulldogchesty]

Now, everything should be brandy new.

Look at it this way.
How many times have you seen cars for sale for like $18,000.00 and the ******* seller writes "A/C not working. Probably just needs a recharge"....
Bullshit. They all tried to fix their A/C and the cheap bastards let it slide when they found out the cost.
I'd rather do it right up front and make no excuses to no one. My requirements demanded an A/C car. I knew the potential danger. It will be an A/C car. Period. And Dunrite too!!!

VERY very similar

I have a compressor that'd probably work for you, we should talk.

Thanks Matt. I thought about rebuilding mine (for a whole 15 - 20 seconds) and I see a Four Seasons rebuilt from Advance for 130 bucks, a 20% off coupon, and free shipping. It became a no brainer plus Googling found me happy users of that unit.

Now I have to learn how to swap the clutch over. Never did that.
