Default Well pulled the ac off the car

for now. When i was down in florida my Ac line blew and i took the lines to ac line place and they fixed it for 12$. Well 2 days later it blew again right where the put the new fittings. The line was old and dry rotted. So i am going to get new ones. But until i get the money for the new lines i took everything off the car. I planed on doing later down the road when we got a 3rd car but oh well i can sweat its only 96-103deg here . I made it without it down in florida with index 120 deg heat Man tell you one thing getting the ac condenser out opens it up for some more air

sorry for crappy pics taken with phone




Now i can see where i need to clean

I live in Cali and it gets hot but I never use it, sometimes I think about taking off to clean up the compartment and get some weight off the car

everything off the car is taped off and on the car for now with red duck tape until i find some rubber plugs but you cant see the tape. I'm in Missouri and it has been 103deg without the heat index for about a week now. When i was in Pensacola fl last week the Heat index was 120deg and at night it was 99deg. I have never sweated so much in my life. I was born a raised in Pensacola and played sports year round and i dont remember it being that hot.

If I am in my TA, I am clean, and I will be damned if I am going to sit in a pool of my own stinky sweat.

Ac out because of a broken line until i find a deal on a new line. Plus this car only gets driven on weekend or nights While the Ac is out of the car.
