Brought home my new summer project. Needs quite a bit of work, but I'm hoping to get it hammered out before the end of the summer.

Tom,

You are going to love the bike. I have never owned nor rode a GoldWing, but the reports are they are super nice. Congrats on your project.

I completely redid the AC on my 91 Grand prix. Everything from the hoses to the to the condenser. Tomorrow I'll hit up the AC shop I go to and have them charge it up.

The old condenser.

I broke that line on the left. I got a 94+ W-body line because the nut on the end is of much higher quality. They don't rust up and then brake the line. That'* what happened to me.

It'* all back together now and my AC should be blowing nice and cold tomorrow. The weather has chilled back off. I wish I had done this a week earlier, when the weather was in the high 80s to low 90s all week.

After driving around and then going to the car wash the temp got down to 37*

After washing it and getting it back home.
