so now that the baby almost here ive been looking hard for an a/c on a budget so heres what i found so far'

1. a complete bug a/c from the dealer get this brand new still in package form the early 70s early early 80s 500$
2. A complete bug a/c used in great working condition 400$
3.a guy with brand new a/c components in all shapes and sizes willing to put me together a complete system for 300$

5.lol this has nothing to do with a/c but i came across an ultra rare complete stripper dune buggy body with both tops never built or painted 500$

so now im just waiting to see how compact the system the guy is putting together for me then imm gonna make my decision just hope i can stop thinking bout that stripper lol*hmmm*

:D Post the like of the Stripper, or photos if you've got 'em. I've never seen one outside of sales ads. As for the a/c components... if you have a guy that will build you a system for $300 and it's compact enough - that's a no brainer. Early systems (before 1990) used the R12 refrigerant, which is a) illegal and b) available through eBay stores *laugh*. Make sure that if you get an early system that all the components are able to play with the refrigerant - compressors are picky about what they work with and need the correct oils in order to do so.

That looks like a nice compact little unit. The evaporator units rarely go bad; all you'll need are the hoses, compressor, evap plate, binary switch and drier. Go for it!
