Thought I should fix the o ring in the condenser
Unsurprisingly the ac pipe was seized to the condenser
surprisingly I put a hole in the radiator. Fml.

so parts list is
radiator
condenser
ac pipes/repair
ac receiver dryer

Brakes locking on is due to pads being RS
so new pads too

When does it end?

And then the question of should I keep pulling it apart and fix the door hinges while its this far apart?

Starting to know how AG feels.

Sure is bitch RB. I nearly stuck a hole in my condenser the other week while I was drilling holes to mound the brackets for the trans cooler when is slipped. Would have been a whole lot easier if I had the nose panel off like you.

At least you didn't drill a hole in your fuel tank though....

It only takes a few minutes to remove the nose cone, can save you time (& money) in the long run....

No never done that. I don't like trying to undo anything attached to the nose cone as all the studs are stripped inside the fibreglass. Not only are they a bitch to undo each time you try to tighten them the studs get even more loose.

I should probably change the exhaust manifold too as it leaks
