Howdy again all-

Dust is starting to settle on the most insane year of my life to date.
Not ALL bad . . .  :)

Had some bites on this a few months back that I've been trying to follow up
on, but to no avail.
I'm good to go with the P/S pump and hoses, but primarily concerned at this
point on the parts to bring the driver's side door back up to spec.

* Driver's side door:
 -Power window actuator
 -Power door lock actuator

A/C is still a need, but not TOO urgent.
UNLESS of course someone has a spare compressor / receiver dryer / expansion
valve laying around that they'd be willing to part with for a ridiculously
low price because their good buddy Drew has been baking away without A/C in
the Vegas blast furnace for the past 3 seasons. . .  (Did you just hear
those violins?)  :)

I've got PayPal revved-up and ready to send funds.

Please pmail off-list if you have anything that will fit the bill.

Thanks in advance!

Drew, Vegas
