Yes the ac can be cold but it is nice that it blows from the center. I always thought that required dash removal, but should research as it is about the only thing not working on mine. The ac hoses are available new for about 100 for the long one, so putting a used one on is sort of weird. I

The climate control actually worked well in this car, I think all the pods were done. AC was some of the coldest I’ve seen in a 123. The botched valve job assembly definitely concerned me, but not anyone on BaT it seems. The owner was really lucky when that retaining spring popped off the

Not sure who Andrew is, but he gets an F. There is only one guy I would have do the rebuild: Mike Elias. There are a lot of possible shortcuts. Did they use all new rocker arms, oiler tubes and a new cam? Yada yada. Looks like they did all the timing guides, which is cool. But probably not

Well it has had some stuff done to it. I think it should have had new rear subframe bushings minimum. They make the car swim down the road at highway speed if not replaced at those miles. It should also have had a new transmission for those dollars. And they didnt say who rebuilt the head. I
