McBoost: My Black CQ project

I am taking my coupe to the Eurocar show in Cazenovia NY on Sunday, so I bought the car home last week and found the time to recheck the A/C system.

In 2016 I finally vacuum tested the system to check for leaks and found one in the condenser. An audi indy I know tracked down a new one (one of two left) and ordered it for me. I installed it in 2016, but finally got to rechecking for vacuum leaks tonight. It was great so my HVAC buddy came by with some R12 and got me back in business. He even used his own R12 as he doesnt need it for his job anymore so I still have my stash.



Anyone else going this weekend to either EuroMeet in Ithaca or Eurocar is Caz?

Well well, after lurking again tonight I noticed some of my other posts had my photos working again, so I went back through this topic and re-edited them URLs back to image tags so the photos show up again.

I am glad to know I can still post photos here again. Although my topic has been very quiet, I will get back to this after a few of my other projects get finished up.

Personal thread jack: I dont think I posted these (the truck I picked up just before the alltrac, the MR2 was bought early 2016):

OEM as can be (how I like to start my projects):



The truck is currently getting a 22RE engine swap a little at a time in my garage. The MR2 has been worked over quite a bit.



If you want to see more of whatever, let me know.

Thanks guys. The truck was in new mexico from the beginning until sometime in the 90s, when the owner stuck it in a lean-to on barn. It remained there until the guy was old enough he asked his son to sell it. I bought it as soon as i saw it pop up.

This is how the inside rockers look:


This is how the truck looks currently:

Well back at it, but just for the short term so I can sell the chassis. At least it will be on an engine stand so when I want to pull a part when I am getting other stuff powder coated/polished.

This bolt was a fun one.


Out.
