The parts came back from the powder coater. The condenser turned out really well, which was surprising. Unfortunately, the bolt threads weren't taped like they usually do, so I spent hours cleaning up the threads so the parts would fit together.

I am happy with the way it all looks. I will be replacing the drier with a new stock drier when I have the system charged. The auxiliary fan bearings were locked up and full of grit, so I replaced them and rebuilt the fan while I was at it. Even though the fan is from a second generation W126, it has a 116 part number on the grille. Odd, isn't it?
