Moss Motors, in Goleta CA (1-800-235-6954), makes very nice interior
kits for MGA roadsters and coupes. Much cheaper and less hassle than
finding a decent upholstery shop, or (gulp) doing your own.
As to your A/C question, yes, it's been done, at least for
closed-cockpit MGs. Numbers were shipped to British expatriates in
Hong Kong, Malaysia, and Singapore, and most of the cars had A/C (my
mother's TD, on the other hand, did not, which meant that we didn't
get to drive the car all that much).
If you are going to install A/C, one thing to think about is replacing
your radiator core with a more modern one. The engine already runs
hot enough without extra load on it from an A/C compressor. Again,
Moss Motors might be able to help you find out what A/C was "standard"
on MGs, and what other modifications might be necessary. They have
always been extremely helpful when I've called.
Happy motoring,
