I'm going to assume you used r134? Where all the a/c parts new or the original ones you removed?

New compressor and dryer. Did use 134. I had sealed everything else when I removed it....so far so good.

Installed my replacement sunvisors and my turbosmart boost controller. Bumped my boost up to 20psi and running great with 0 knock.

Went to the dealer to get my nos set of key blanks cut. Worked prefect when I got home. Much nicer than myold set! They only have key codes back to 1990 according to the parts guy...

Had a chance to wet sand the freshly 'Por-15 Glisten' coated stock wheels today. Turned out pretty good. No matter how careful you are when spraying with this stuff, it still may have some imperfections. If I get time tomorrow to finish up the brake bleed, I toss on the wheels and snap some pics.

Took the wet sanding to 3k grit on the face. I like the results being that Glisten PC only comes in high gloss, and I prefer a flatter sheen.

When the previous owner did the frame-off on my Sy.... they did not update the Kenne Bell Big Boy exhaust.... the tailpipe was getting a little iffy (actually a few holes), so I installed a new 3" mandrel bent stainless replacement, keeping the KB tip.

Exhaust shop I went to said they do a lot of turbo work and can easily do a mandrel-bent
3" downpipe for me....if I can ever get re-employed I'll save up some cash and have them do that for me and at the same time move the O2 sensor a bit further downstream. :)

WOW!!! A mandrel-bent 3" downpipe that would be great.

Yup, they're already out there, but they don't fit quite right with the RPM Stage1 turbo....plus it will be a bit cheaper this way, and they guarantee the fit, etc. Just nice working with a good, local shop so I can get to know the local hot rod builders a bit better. :)

Installed the freshly painted center console, bled the brakes, installed the freshly refreshed wheels, worked on the A/A tubing. Tried to not get frustrated that I didn't get all that I set out to get done today, but we're not expecting snow tomorrow, so there is always 'tomorrow'.

After some house painting tomorrow, if time allows, I'm hoping to start it for the first time this year. :squint:
