Hi everyone,
My daily driver,(a 1995 Mitsubishi) has 292,000 miles and is almost "done", (I'm really trying for an even 300,000) so now I am contemplating making my 142 my daily driver. I'm not sure if I really want to do that, but I don't really want to plunk down 20 G's for a new car either. (I'm trying to rationalize this by telling myself that I can spend 1/2 that and get my 142 into really great shape! ...it is pretty darn good already.)...Then again do I want to run my 142 day in - day out no matter what the weather etc.
...Anyway, to my question: What would it take to put A/C into an old 142? I would want to go with a new unit or something salvaged from a late model whatever.
...while I'm asking, I am open to opinions and thoughts on using a 142 for about 30,000+ a year. I have an all new suspension and brakes in it now, a good body and interior, and am hoping to upgrade to an M41 soon.

Thanks,
CU
