Bartman Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 I finished the wiring and I brought my car in this morning to have the system evacuated, oil added, pressure tested and charged up. I was on pins and needles waiting for a call from my mechanic (hoping he would say it was done...not that it wouldn't hold pressure or something wasn't working correctly). Well I got the call, and it was to say that I now have a Z that blows cold air! I will post up some pic's in a couple of days, but if you have any specific items you want to see just let me know. It was a lot of work, but I think it will be worth it when the temperatures start creeping upwards. I guess now I'll have to dive into the bodywork...I've run out of other tasks and excuses.

I can't wait to see some more pics. My dash is going back in this week. I just finished the EL gauge install so we can get it all back together and on the road in time for the nice weather.

Bartman Posted April 6, 2006 Author Share Posted April 6, 2006 I don't know if you saw my other post, but I installed my EL gauges at the same time as well (waiting for another water temp/oil press gauge before I install that face). It was pretty light outside when I took this picture, I think they look even better at night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. I saw it. Looks great. I can't wait to see mine. I went with the stock look (black dials with white numbers) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owen[/quote']Hey Owen, I used the Vintage Air GEN II Mini and there really wasn't any chopping required. I can talk to you at MSA; but since it looks like I blew a head gasket last weekend, I will be without my car again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
