Here is the unit I am going to use for My air conditioning unit..... Used but in good shape...
I have a 2nd hand SANDEN compressor low hours from ebay...
I'm going to buy the Condenser New, I'm told they aren't that expensive along with a new receiver dryer..
then I will take the car to the local Air Con Installer to finish it off.... hoses going under the car.....
Condenser in front wheel well....

I've got one of those for my buggy. Newer model, has 3 vent thingos but the connections are the same. All my mounting tabs for it are there, but I havent got around to running the pipe work yet. Mmm...air con in a buggy.:P

Nope, I got the compressor (came on the subaru engine) and the condensor, plus the underdash unit. All I need to do is put all the parts on and run the tubing Voila! Air con! It was a ploy to keep my missus happy, I'm sure you're not surprised to find out she has other complaints about the car. 🙁

err, then I gotta ask this...........there is a lot of fresh air in and around a buggy, dont you think it might be a bitahhhhhh, not cost effective to try and cool the emtire surrounds of the buggy including nearby pedestrians???

I'm not casting aspersions dude but....welll it demands the question!

Yeah fair enough. I was thinking it was a bit much at one point, until an aquaintance told me about the air con in his MX5. He said he uses it on hot days to blow in his face. And thatis with the top down. I'm more thinking of being able to use it with my top up or when it's raining and I need to demist the screen fast.

Besides, the suby engine is totally understressed. More than I can say for air con on a type1 motor...sorry, couldn't resist having a dig. :P
