In today's video, I'll be highlighting some of the last portions of the 240SX restomod build, with a primary focus on going over my custom air conditioning system. I've been working really hard to get this car finished up as fast as reasonably possible. It turned out so good and I'm so relieved to finally be at the finish line after all of these years. At this point, I just need to figure out paint protection, film the final review and just go drive it!

**For charging and oiling the A/C system, I used the specs from a '94 240SX, which used R134a. The routing of this system, in my opinion, is very similar to how a stock 240 would have been, but obviously it's not exactly the same. Use the specs at your OWN RISK. I have yet to drive my car yet so it will be put fully to the test later, so far, A/C works great and pressures looked good. If you are not familiar with A/C work, I highly recommend you get a professional to charge the system*
