hi all, im a real nubie here, and to minis. i have several books on the way and have read the mini boards for hours. still, i havent ran into much on a/c with the minis.

i beleive they did put a/c in some classic minis, but i cant seem to spot one! has anyone looked into puting an aftermarket a/c in their mini like vintage air?

Im in love with these little classics, but sence i live in south texas, a/c isnt somthing that is just nice to have. its required if you are going to drive much.

thanks for any input.


ps. anyone know of some mini owners in the san antonio area? id love to talk with some people and see some minis.

 

I have A/C, and many others who live in the south have it, it just makes things easier, and drier in the summer months, you can search A/C in this section, or here is a thread on it, factory and aftermarket,

And also you can search the MiniMania forum, but here is a thread on the subject, some don't think it's needed, but they live up north, I love it,

As for where the Texans are you can ask around here,

thanks gents, thats just what i was looking for.

 

Once I get my classic running again an AC is on my list of things to do. I am going to look into both Mini AC units as well as looking into Hot Rod company junk and see what I prefer to do.

Let me know what you come up with as I have a bit before I can look for one.
