I recharged the AC with a can from the store. The pressure was about 14psi and its now around 23psi, very easy to do it only took a few minutes and its blowing cold.

I was unable to get time on the lift at the shop so I just did it at home, I screwed and zip-tied some coroplast to the bottom of the car.

I used 3 main pieces, two in the front and one down the back drivers side. Nothing is touching the exhaust. my muffler is slightly leaking and needs to be replaced. I will replace it with a smaller one that will tuck under the car a little better and save a few pounds at the same time. I'm going to use metal on that part. I will also add high heat paint to the plastic that is near the engine.

Today I got some lawn edging for an airdam, side skirts and upper grill block.Pizza pans for hubcaps. A steering wheel cover because the wheel is rotting away. I'm planning on using the lawn edging for an upper grill block as well.
