how much would it cost to get:
* New cv's
* new pads all around and discs (think the discs might be damaged)
* drivers window is very hard to wind up/down - handle has basically come off but can be re-attached.
* New rear lights (one of mine is cracked)
this would be for my AE92 Hatch SX.
basically im thinking about doing a FULL service. any idea how much it would end up costing me?.. any chance it would be less than $1000?
if anyone could give me approximate estimates it would be good..
cheers,
Jose.

This is the way I see it dude. It all depends on how much you want to/can do/are willing to do yourself.
1. CV's -> this job sux, but I think you get them done for $500ish??
2. Pads + Disks. -> install yourself you will save a lot of money, and easy AS to do. If all you need is a machining of your rotors, this will be <$100
3. Driver's Window -> Take it off and have a fiddle yourself. FREE 
4. Rear Lights -> Source from a wrecker and install yourself. Maybe $100??
A FULL service involves a little more though. Coolant flush and oil change for starters (do yourself for $60ish)
My 2c anyway

Working on cars is just like Lego for older people (though, I still like lego now... hmmm...)
You don't have to be a genious to follow instructions from a book, and if you have even a granule of problem solving ability (which I sure you do) these things won't be too hard at all.
Doing brakes, it is SO worth spending $8 on a self-bleeding kit. they don't always put that in manuals
The only thing there I wouldn't do myself is the CVs. (if this was me)
I didn't know anything till I started doing it either. Tremblingly working from a manual knowing pretty much nothing. But it all works out. This goes there, that goes here.. etc..
