Which AC

Post by darzoom »

Has anyone put AC in their Bug and if so who did you get it from and what was the experience? Also, how does it all work?

AC

Post by darzoom »

Well I called Gilmore out of Florida and will get the AC from him. It will cost about $1400 for the same (looking) unit that my 66 came with installed by the dealer. He is a few weeks out but should be able to get it all together. If anyone knows of a better kit that is more reasonable let me know. Not that I selected the AC, I can weld up all the holes in the trunk deck/cabin partition and then cut new holes whn then new AC comes in. Funny, I paid $650 for this bug 31 years ago and have about $2500 in this restore so far. I expect to have spent about $5k when done. But, everything will have been done right. That means it may last another 45 years. I know I won't. LOL
