More progress today before taking some time off....fans are out. .and now so is the lower radiator support...
Have to think out my cleaning strategy when we return...next week will give me time to do just that!!!
Broke one of the tabs for the wire loom in pic #3...still useable if unavailable....... but I imagine that they may still be available from the dealer..20190907_133511.jpg20190907_133528.jpg20190907_133630.jpg

Just did a quick wash on the lower shrould....pic #1...the part #....
Pic #2....one of 5 10mm bolts and nut washers that attach the front of the lower shroud to the top of the center air dam.....passenger side in pic #2 & pic #3 does not come out when loosen....it stays in the shrould....as the metal bar shown in pic #3 overlaps that bolt....looks like metal bar in pic #4 took a beating in its earlier days from the front air dam taking some rough bumps....20190907_161508.jpg20190907_161525.jpg20190907_161544.jpg1567887867017.jpg

Fans went from looking like this in pic #1 to like this in pic #2....pic #3 shows one of the radiator rubber supports...it appears that this system was removed before....as the front of both rubber supports where the condenser sits....was reformed during installation...as the time wasn't taken to make sure the parts sat correctly in the support....pic #4 shows a first cleaning of the supports...plus you can see how the rubber was deformed...tried in pic #5 to reform the support....but then thought it might work out better as shown in pic #5...#6...& #7.....just taped to the condenser itself....we shall see...will probably go with the poly version...sine the OEM rubber versions are not available...
Also getting the AC Compressor manifold hose assembly repaired...should be completed in a few days...interesting on how they are doing the repair....[emoji16][emoji16]20190914_114331.jpeg20190914_225355.jpg20190917_131757.jpeg20190917_132558.jpeg20190917_132709.jpeg20190917_142713.jpg

Hello Doug, I don't have any experience with doing that...sounds interesting...
Also ordered a new fan motor, as one of my fans is making a worn bearing noise when turning by hand. And taking your advice for a new radiator...will order one soon....

Just pick up a couple buffs for your electric drill and a stick or 2 of compound
at your local hardware store or Home Depot. Not too much $ and easy to do.
(before you put it in the car...)
Recommend a DeWitts 2 row radiator, 32-1139090M, shop around for best price with free shipping...
