SORRY Terrance...they sold 4 days after my seats to a member on the forum.

I will be listing a bunch of parts in about 10 days of everything I have for sale.

Jim

Also just received another package...this time its the LeBaron brackets from member "inthelead"

You still need the calipers, rotors, machined hubs, and misc spacers.
I have an extra set of NEW front calipers and NEW pads and some misc parts from my Lebaron upgrade. Wana trade 4 something?

Well just swapped out the old leaking heater core. What a mess...it took me an hour to sand down the surface rust off the vent swing doors that I saw when I removed the old core and the amount of dirt..no rust, sprayed with rust-o-luem, and cleaned. Then I finally installed the new core...which took a whole 5-7 minutes:




and the old dead core:


Tomorrow's game plan is to decompress the AC lines. Need the room to swap out the new HVAC blower motor...was going to have to do it next week anyway when the new AC condenser arrived.

What is the easiest way to decompress the AC charge without causing a mess?

OK...restless tonight...so I went and installed the new Delphi HVAC 2 minutes to install, but 40 minutes to clean out the area where the blower mounts into...tons of leafs and garbage...almost 1/3 filled..all clean now

Here is the older blower that was dying and making noise:


and here is the new blower installed:


Need to still clean and paint the lower support bracket that holds the AC & radiator with black rust-o-luem paint.

Need to decompress the AC and swap out the condenser.

Also looking for the plastic shroud that goes around the AC condenser that guides the air flow...this is what I found left of mine...it seems that it should have two main plastic pieces that go on each side of the condenser and then a metal bar that attaches the tar like paper to help guide air flow
