82 Westy AC Stuff - sellable or junk?

[Lanval]

Greetings,

Recently acquired an 82 Westy - the previous owner cut out the A/C compressor prior to purchase, so I completed the removal to get rid of the dead weight (I had no desire to fix it).

The wife is not altogether pleased about the pile of parts now on our veranda, but I'm loath to simply haul them off to the dump if they can be recycled for use or parts.

As near as I can tell, I have the whole thing, so I'm wondering if I should take some pix and put them in the classifieds, or just trash them.

thanks for the website - it's a goldmine of info!

Best,

Lanval

Worth Selling.

What you might think is junk is another's treasure. Consider the fact that quite a few of those pieces are no longer available.

You may even consider boxing them up and storing in the attic. You may change your mind, find another person that needs them, trade those parts for ones you need, or include them with the van should you sell it some day.

I for one am a purist. The more original a vehicle is, the more I like it. My opininion which is still shared by some out there.

Heh, wish I had an attic I'm in grad school, and it's all sitting on my porch in a pile - the wife is, shall we say, less than pleased.

Thanks for the insight though - I'll take some pix and post the stuff over in the classifieds... I'd prefer that someone be able to take the parts and use them, or keep them as back-up for their own system. I hate seeing that stuff go into the ground...

Plus, gotta keep the Westies rolling

Thanks again guys,

Lanval

Freakness,

It's the one that goes in the cabinet over the bed in back, and then blows forward. There isn't an example of it in the Bentley, but it's the same one they're talking about in the AC Question thread here:

I have pretty much the whole thing, and could deliver to Cerritos, no problem. I don't wanna force the issue, but we're driving to Pasadena tomorrow, so you could have it that early if you wanted.

I have to go out for an hour or so, but if you're interested, post a reply here, and I'll take some pictures for you to show what it looks like.

Best,

Lanval

I might have the original documentation as well - I'll check.

Freakness,

and people say there's no value to close reading...


Anyway, shipping isn't a problem - talk with the guys at Buslab; it's the original (or at least it looks so to me) A/C system which mounts over the rear engine and runs off the York compressor (which I have, but assume is not functional since the PO took it out). I have the condensors, etc.

Let me know what they say, and I'll try to get pix for you by Monday so that you'll have pix of all the parts for an install checklist.

Thanks,

Lanval
