People said i was crazy for doing somender singhs grooves, they work a treat.
People said i was crazy to turbo a carb volvo, it works fine but is still under test so i can't recomend it yet.
my next crazy project will be a 5 speed + overdrive, i need projects to keep the sludge in my head moving.

A/C in a 740, go for it, it's basically a radiator a pump and some controls, a basic on-off system would be fairly easy to setup especially if it's a manual, once it works ok you can start refining.

I also want to put air con in my newly bought Volvo

Its a 740SE, should I just find a Spares/repairs model that has the aircon bits?

the reason is I'll be doing a rally to Italy in the summer and I need to keep myself and my team cool

I've just been thinking - does anyone have a definitive list of what parts I will need? I really don't have a clue...
