Other: sxsman sent a message about Mini : Classic Mini #121520946878

Would it be possible to post pictures of the A/C kit to your ad or at least my email ?
Who is the maker of the "kit" ?  Thanks


So the kit came from our host, he sent a picture of the kit but wasn't able to copy and post. Kit looks complete.

Also, he has a phone # listed if you want to call and ask questions.

I remember you used to see a LOT of front clips of ricers and minis back a few years ago posted on ebay and seemingly everywhere, then they just seemed to disapear. Did it become harder to import them, or did the business simply dry up when the ricer industry fizzled?

It's been fun, but this place is done. I have no hatred, and appreciate the good times. But this place now belongs to Tony and his pink mini.

I know the red one is sold. The blue one is an SPI automatic and is just the front clip.

Some are wondering why I dug up this old post, I didn't want to start a new thread about A/C, thought I'd add for those that are looking .

(Plus this thread doesn't have any relies from someone that shall remain nameless)

Saw this on ebay, asked the guy to post pictures of the "complete A/C kit" that he will seperate. Said he paid $1500 for the kit, didn't say how much he wants though.

Also asked who made the A/C kit, feel free to email him if you like.

Also (although not my cup of tea) rather cheap for you V-Tec lovers.

Hugh.....a front clip means they literally CHOP the car in 2, usually across the floor behind the pedals and chop through the pillars above the scuttle. So you get everything forward of the Scuttle, including the bonnet. You also get the Dash as well as Pedal box and all the blowers and electrics in the forward part of the cab.

Japan?  But seriously, what does it matter if the front clip comes from a Jap spec car or not?  The A/C components are attached to the engine and not the front clip.
