Since the last update I've spent a lot of time building an airconditioner for the Bolwell. There is only very limited space to fit an  evaporator/heater/fan unit so a small unit was required. I had a heater fan unit from a Toyota Land Cruiser Troop carrier or a Toyota Coaster bus (I'm not sure which it came from) and a evaporator unit which I picked up from the local recycling centre for $5.00. These two units still wouldn't fit in the space I had so I started looking around for a smaller unit. I finally found one on the net which would have been a perfect fit. It was the Mini space saver from Vintage-air in the USA. The unit was $399 US but by the time I converted that to Aussie $,  had it shipped out here and paid the import duties and Goods & Services Tax it put the price up to around $1600 Aus. A bit more than I was prepared to pay so I started looking at the units I had again. After much thinking I finally mounted the evaporator to the heater at an angle and cut a piece out of the firewall to enable me to get the unit back as far as I could in the top of the passenger side foot well.

I had to make a special plenum chamber for the ducts to attach to the front of the evaporator.I made a mould from Urathane foam and cardboard tubes, them laid up over that with fibreglass. Once it had cured I just broke the foam up to get it out.

I have also made up the ducts under the dash for the vents and demistor. There wasn't enough room for a demistor outlet from a production car so I used a piece of 40mm PVC pipe and a tee piece which I fixed to the under side of the dash using a couple of self tapping screws. I then drilled a lot of 7 mm dia holes through the dash and into the pipe. I plugged the ends of the tube and and joined the pipe to the outlet with flexible hose. Works well.

I've also managed to finish fairing the airdam in and put a coat of reface on it as well as finished fairing the doors and refaced them too.
