Anybody out there got any advice on installing a/c into my HQ STATO. Was originally fitted to car but has been removed before I bought it. Car now has GTS dash with only two outlets. Is there any factory a/c units out there I could install, or will I have to fit an aftermarket under dash unit? Have been told this will cost approx $2,000. Sounds a bit too much to me.

Not trying to cramp your sale but some of the behind dash ducting is not the same the Q dash is different shape, also the switch is a bit different you have to enlarge the hole a bit but it goes in. If you are looking to make it "original" you have to wat
