[FC] What's Up!

[Paul Steinberg]

The left side doors are different from the right side doors, so it would be
best to try to fix any problems with the lefts.  The right side doors are
somewhat common place and are not that expensive if you need to replace
them..... from start to finish, you can safely figure spending between $6,000
- $10,000.
Others might disagree, but I have been down that road one  two many times to
know differently.  When you finally add up all the bills, the total is there.
Would I do it again???? Definitely..... think of it as a vacation that
continues to give joy for years to come..... Paul in CT......

  Restore it! Don't even think of asking how much...! Just do it! You will be
  happy! You will be assimilated! Resistance is futile!
