The more I looked at my ac condenser the more I noticed how bad of shape is really was, so as much as it killed me to pay the asking price I bought a new one

and here it is fitted to the car and also I painted the fan and bought a brand new receiver dryer as well

Looks purdy

You'll be glad you did replace it when it's all buttoned up

Whislt most wouldn't be able to notice a old busted arse condenser and dryer, you would have been jaded if you didn't change it when you had such easy access

Thanks mate, every time I think “do I really want to?” I end up just saying if I don’t do it now I’ll never do it 

Fk yeah, horny looking now.

So far every time I haven't just bought the part while it was available I've regretted it. I swear everyone and their mother is hoarding parts like they plan on scalping them in a year or two.

You can thank the USA for f**king that up for everyone, before they were allowed to have them these cars and their parts were cheap and plentiful.

Who did your elctroplating on the bolts and how much did it cost? Looks like it was worth it unless its stupid expensive

Elite plating in smithfield, was $150 for every nut, bolt and washer in the bay and on the engine, also did the bonnet prop and latch and a few brackets

I did it in the olive which is the original colour, if I could go back I would have just done the whole lot in gold

    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
    • You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)
    • It's been quite the ordeal but hey, at least you figured it out.
    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow
