Subject:      gee, it sure is warm (need fan A/C is dead)
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

ok, the vent windows and all other windows all opened
up and the blower in the dash aren't doing it for me,
i need direct airflow,i hate being hot.

anyone /w a defunct A/C system have a reccomendation
of a good clip on,cigarette lighter powered fan?

my A/C is in shambles and it'd cost too much and take
too much time to fix it. The A/C housing (the older
style ugly-beige one, with the big part in the front,
between the front and middle seats) has been
modified,My father and I (Rico, who is also on the
list)modified it, the vents are no longer above my
head directly above the sun visors, they're stuck in
the bridge that goes between the big part and the
vents in the front,we used a soldering iron to melt an
appropriate size hole for each one in the middle peice
there. we had to remove the front part of the a/c
where it sticks above the visors because the plastic
was ripping down and was just before coming down on my
head,so the vents are in teh bridge and the end of the
bridge is plugged up with a peice of board,and screwed
to the end of the board is a peice of alumunum that's
also stuck under the rearview mirror to hold up the
end of the bridge. looks nice and works well.

</long, pointless blah>
