Good to see you, Johnny. Have no idea how to do anything like that. Good on you. You certainly need a/c in these hot temps. It's super hot here in Texas for the past month and foreseeable future. Stay hydrated, dear man. Leigh
Hi Leigh. I guess you'd know all about hot over in Texas. We had a couple of really hot weeks here but of course it has all turned to rain and gloom now - typical British summer!
@@JohnyLondon yes indeed, it's been above 100 for the past month. Thank God for a/c!!!
Need to do mine,and add a front mount and a massive turbo and and and and lol
Always worth having the aircon working!
Well done Johny! Doesn’t look that easy so you were brave to tackle it. It’s a classic car so it’s well worth keeping it in good order.
Hi, thanks. Not so much brave as very hot! I'm really getting this car in order now but will probably upgrade to something else in due course.
What a job!!!!!! Keen to see the next stage!!!! Xxx
I think disassembly is the worst - once it's all apart, there really is only one way to go.
Beautiful filming and music theme. Will you be acquiring another vehicle in time?
Hey thanks. Yes I'm thinking about what to get next! No hurry now the aircon is working though...
@@JohnyLondoni got an 06 aero 2.8t v6 !
@@goldeneagle99 Sweet!
Mine in from underneath.
Good point - I'm always happy if I don't have to jack the car up and lay in the road though!
so why arent you a mechanic ? 😂😂
For me, it's only when necessary!
