    Removed the AirCon tonight, looked at my radiator which is fked, but its gotta go back in for now, so i can move my ride about.

    Im getting a new "3core" radiator and intercooler at the end of the month with luck, as im going away in 2 weeks so i gotta spend dosh for that..


    last 2 bolts holding it got to me so i decided to grind them off since i wasnt needing it ever again!! haha good smack and it came off haha!


    this piece came off a few weeks ago, was easy.. still need to take the pulley off to go with it but it can wait until the morning!

    I'm doing the parking sensor in the morning and removing the rusted front seats! pics to come!!
