Re: Fitting modern hvac unit to old car

Hi JohnHere,

Thanks again.

Hi all,

newbie here. Got an old 70's Jaguar and instead of reconditioning the tired hvac unit I thought about fitting a unit from something modern like a Mazda. I'd want to use the Mazda control panel but wonder how simple this whole exercise might be in practice. Not worried about fitting, can ...
