I dont have any pics yet, and I actually still need to pick up both cars. One this weekend and one possibly the next. The show car has been sitting for 3 years due to the owner getting married and having kids, and needs its interior put back in seats,dash etc, and also needs an actuator installed to the alarm to open the doors because it has shaved door handles, so my uncle is going to help me put that together before I take it home in like 2-3 weeks. The stock one I will tow to my house this weekend, as I was told that driving with a bad a/c compressor for periods of time can ruin an engine. Both cars run well and are very drivable. I've decided to give the automatic to my dad since he could use it for a good gas mileage car, not to mention I'm not big on automatics.I plan on first doing a complete tune-up to both cars.I have questions about the a/c compressor problem on the automatic.First would it be ok to purchase the refurbished one on ebay as it costs only $150 and will save me $200 off the price of a new unit?(also includes a lifetime warranty) Second does anyone else here who's replaced their a/c compressor have any suggestions or trouble shooting pointers? I was told that you need to flush the system ofcourse, change the accumulator,expansion valve, and then just add oil,install and enjoy. Is there anything else I should know, and can I get away with using the old accumulator or expansion valve? Thanks -Mike
