Why is this posted on this thread? It has nothing to do with anything. But since it's here, let me say that I typically hate the red interior, but those pics may change my mind. That's a sweet f*****g ride, man, and the interior looks great.

I have a red interior too, they are nice.

Back on topic, I plan on fixing my AC next week. Hopefully my system still has R12 in it. If not I will convert to R134. From what I've read on here working on your AC system doesn't seem like that bad of a job. I am planning on replacing my compressor, hoses, and accumulator. I was reading in an AC repair manuel that unless the hoses and compressor had R12 go through them the R134 will leak out. Apparently the R12 leaves a film on the inside of the system that prevents the R134 from leaking out. Did you have a problem with this when they converted?
