You have a really great car. Grand Prix White, and burgundy interior. Just like mine!

Thanks!!
You know, when I was first shopping and saw this online it didn't really do it for me. But when I saw it in person it really took me in... at some point I'm going to have to send my steering wheel off to get it recovered as the leather is shot, and then I'll probably have to dye the seats, as the seating surfaces are looking more brown than burgundy... although I'd really like to find some Sport seats. (probably can't afford them though)
Had to grab a picture of all the removed parts before I chucked them all
Wondering if there is a market for slightly used Evaporator or condenser.. junkyard might give me a few bucks for them... dunno That and the compressor. I *think* it is probably still good, I replaced it just to be sure since I would have had to rebuild the seals anyhow since it had R12 before.... Anybody take it as a core?
Some hints for those doing this themselves -
--be careful with the hoses when they come out - mine had dyed oil in them that leaked all over the place...
--that prestite tape will stick to everything - keep the paper on it until you really need to use it.
--listen to Griff - he knows what he is talking about
--When trying to thread the hoses back up into the engine bay - put a big bright light in the bay so from underneath the car it lights up the hole...
--it is *really* dirty under these cars - especially the front drivers wheel well - when you pull those hoses be prepared for a ton of dirt to drop out.
--be better organized than me - I spent 2 days looking for some of the hardware I knew I had, but misplaced it (it was in my tool box somehow) - and now I've lost one of the knobs.. I am very disorganized
