Thanks man not much has gotten done lately been to busy with work and complications with wife being pregnant but got some stuff done on the car this week pulled the dash back out so I can cut the hole in the firewall for the ac system also figured why my turn signals werent working. Thanks to a coworker I got the vats for the bcm bypassed hes going to school for electrical engineering and did his like this two years ago whats cool is I can still unplug the connector if say I ever have to store it, works as a kill switch plus by using the connector I dont have to pull the key in and out causing wear on the contacts on the pellet.

Alright havent had an update in awhile first finally getting back to the brakes rears have been completely replaced

and my ebrake now works after 8 hours of fighting with the cables had to use 92z28 ones, I just need to run the brake lines from the calipers to the porportioning valve then put the new brake hose's on the front then bleed the system and ill finally have brakes for the first time since I bought it. Also have decided I want my panels carpeted

couldnt resist taking a look at the exhaust I bought can't wait to hear that cammed 5.3 through it full 2.5 with 3in tips.

Firewall is almost cut out enough for the hvac box then the dash can go back in for the last time sucks I had to cut into the firewall after painting it not to long ago but itll be worth it on those hot days

have a new radiator for it while I had the car in the air I undercoated the trans tunnel. The motor has the fbody oil pan installed need to get the outside cleaned up and spray it btw what is this for?

Thanks man, double dins done installed also finally have the correct transmission pretty sure it needs rebuilt and needs the correct tailhousing but i picked it up for $200. Also drivers window is rewired with new relays and 10/14 gauge wire and for what i believe to be the factory motor and less than par greased tracks its almost as fast as my 08 maxima which is just wow im not sure if i want to put in a new motor I plan to grease everything up though. Taillights now have leds in them and there alot brighter at night
