G'day all
quick one - I'm trying to get my hands on a small cooler/chiller box that fits in the back, and so far zero luck - I know I could go buy an engel, but it doesn't quite fit in the back (have a toolbox in there) and is a bit 'bulky' (I could strip the plastic off, but don't want to spend $100 only to find that doesn't work either). I've contacted a few different places about stripping the chiller box from a Ti that is being wrecked, but have been told it's a bloody tough job to get them out and reinstall in another car - quote below:
G’day Scott,
To be completely honest it would be a lot cheaper and easier to just buy an engel fridge as the rear chiller box is tied in with the rear air conditioning system which is also tied in with the front system and it would be a huge job to not only fit it but also get it working!
Has anyone done this? Is it as tough as suggested? And has anyone got any other suggestions? My little esky is continually taking a pounding with 6 tinnies and some ice inside it rolling about on the back floor every time I go out and about, and I don't know how many more XXXX Gold "ice creams" I can handle - I don't know whether to lick it or drink it once opened!!! LOL
The space I'm working with to get it in is 225mm (L) x 200mm (W) - they have to be out there, I just don't know where.
Thanks in advance for any comments.
