Default interior work and lining things up sucks

got the car painted, it was gone for 2 weeks. lets just say it looks fucking awesome. but when we were taking it off the tow truck (all interior and headlights and tails etc i removed beforehand) it cracked the front bumper. so that needs to be redone, im pissed!!!!!!!!!!!

but i am putting in new carpet and took out the center console today, and its going to be a bitch to go back in. i have an alpine alarm that i needed to cut some wires to get it out, but that wont be hard. but it seems that the center console was under quite a bit of tension, not looking forward to getting those brackets in under the dash.

but im stuck now because i dont have the torx bit size 10000000 to get the seatbelts out, so im waiting for a friend, jsut thought id give an update, and ill go take some pics, but ill be sure to give ya some pics when its done.

well, if you want to come over this weekend, ill be doing it most of it. but i have other major shit to be doing. brake line in the back is busted for some reason, im thinking the fucking tow truck driver going up there.

and im taking the guages out, and leaving them out. i just need to find plugs for it.

ill give you a call when i go to put it all back together and you can come over if you want

well, got the carpet in today.

its a solid pain in the ass getting all this shit together. i have an alpine alarm with a proximity sensor and all the wiring. making sure i have all the wires up and out from underneath the carpet is a bitch. going slowly, and not having fun, lol

its looking a hundred times better, its comin

ill be sure to get pics up soon

and one quick ?, what do the fuel pump relays look like, are they double pin connectors, and how do you adjust the e brake?????? i want to do it when the carpet is out, but maybe im just to to see how i should do it, because i just looked at it for a quick min tonight

thanks guys







oh, sorry david, i forgot to call ya tonight, but i got bored and went to tackle it tonight rather than over the weekend
