A/C condensor meets pressure washer (fix)

previous owner used a pressure washer on the front grill, and laid down the condenser fins big time. I hope photos work. I'm in the process of picking them with a knife, then running through them with a condensor comb, then hitting them with a little flat black paint. it's all the way across in three places (because of the stock grille)

as i said, i have to pick them up, then i can use the comb to straighten them. Thanks!

here's a better picture showing how far bent they are. it's hard to even get a razor blade edge in between them to "pick" at it to get it to stand up a little. I'm getting there though (smile)
