Air con retrofit?

[SonicHedgeHog]

Has anyone retrofitted air con to a Griff or a Chim? Is it an easy job or is it going to cost a fortune? Stupid question I know....

A right PITA. I wouldn't bother.

(and that's speaking as an A/C engineer)

Yes did it twice on a 4.0 chimaera and a 5.0L, both times doen by the factory ( I know this doesent help now) it was circa 3k both times.

I looked at all the alternatives but no one was confident enough to do it or cold give a competitive price ths was circa 2000 - 2002 so things must have moved on

I have it fitted from standard and have never used it..... really cant see the point having A/C fitted to a convertable.
