Takeing the whole fron apart. removing Oil cooler, water cooler, ac condensor, compressor, water pump and all kinda stuff.
Since i dont have a working ac (or leaking) the best is to take a look at it. And when it was removed i understand why it not work... totaly broken i both top and bottom... tested to look at it with flourens light and googels... im still wonder how the hell it could keep some gas in it...
Wery well.. need the orginal numer for it to see if i can find a pirate part ... since i guess the orginal is EXPENSIVE...

While im takeing everyfing apart i wonder what i need to change to new parts,
COmpressor is removed and i have new oil for it.
will change all fluids, break, steering, cooling, motor.

Will keep theis thread as a contiue story about it.

And Hello again guys @jbanks15 @M4rCu5 @Avel Du @Alex.M-oneeleven @capmalo @BaD_81

Little pictures from painting the valve cover.
First grinding some to remove bad casting.
Then washprimer to make things attach better. Then ground sanding filler.
Then mercedes silver metallic base, and then clear cote.
Pretty nice from what it looked like.
