[DeTomaso] Front mount A/C

[Andy May]

Hi Ian,

Firstly, I would wonder just how much of a real buyer you have there.
Seriously, I rarely use the A/C on my daily driver mercedes let alone my
Pantera here in the UK!

However, you could ask him to speak to Roger Coates - Roger had a company
here completely replace the A/C in his GT5S with a front mount system. He
told me it cost him about £2k including all parts and labour - though his
car was already stripped out when they did it so access would have been
easier. I have the company name somewhere but can't access it today as I'm
away on business.

Anyway, maybe that at least helps to flush out whether you have a real
buyer there or not ;-)

Kind regards

Andy May
