111RS #3 Build: Rad/AC/HVAC Reinstall

End caps are grey!
 This 111RS is getting ProAlloy's proRAD Triple Pass as the stock radiator was looking old and grey.  The plastic end caps had changed from black to grey in color.  These end caps are known to crack and then leak.  We change the radiator out on all the 111RS builds as a preventative measure.  This color change is easy to see from the outside of the car so something we suggest should be inspected.

We also installed ProAlloy's AC Condenser.  The AC hard lines to the stock condensers often rip the threads off the fitting upon removal.  It happened to this car so we had the lines repaired and replaced the condenser with a new rad.  Carlos cleaned up the stock fans and remounted each of these parts into their stack.  

The HVAC unit was cleaned up.  We took the opportunity to add some insulation to the inside of the unit to see if we can improve the AC performance.  We've not tried this before so it will be interesting to see the affect.


Lee cleaned up the radiator shroud and crash structure as everything was apart.  It all looks great now and reinstalled.
