Only one viable A/C option, but will be more than the $4k install when you
already have A/C.  Supposedly a kit is coming and you can get a condenser on
line that will work:

No more outside air, but in your climate that's okay.  Don't even think
about trying to retrofit a stock system.

Subject: Any idea what this Westie might be worth

Dear List

Just learned of a 1986 Westie in very good condition - this from a very
experienced VW Shop owner - with a new 1.6 VW Turbo Diesel.  Runs as sweet
as anything, gets great mpg's and only has one big defect for me living here
in the humid world of SW Florida - it does not have and never did have
AC!!!!

My immediate question - can AC be added, and is 1.6 even with a turbo - the
very slow original VW diesel?
