Default what I found cleaning the rads.

It is 2 years ago since I cleaned the crud from between the rads and condensers. I decided that I needed to do them again. To my surprise I found a little sparrow, a large grasshopper and a lot of hard packed debris. This was mostly on the drivers side. The passenger side didn't look to bad at all. Can anyone tell me where I can get those guards for inside the air scoops as I find a lot of pebble marks on the front of the condensers both side.






I added the 'Kilroy was here' graffiti.

Try to avoid following vehicles too close. Covered a big number of miles in both of my cars and haven't lost a condenser (let alone a radiator) yet due to anything flying through the radiator duct opening.

I see your rivets were inspected by Kilroy.

That's a lot or debris for two years. Great job.
