Hoping to get some LED lights installed under the hood this weekend, fix the alignment and bleed the brakes so they actually work. Will see what happens

Well, while working on my car today I plugged an extra regulator in and it started smoking and sparking. So i took the tape off the wires and i figured out that the person who owned this car before doesnt know ANYTHING about wiring. Have to order a new alternator wiring harness. But on the positive side I got my LED lights installed and im happy with how they came out.

I like those wheels. Your car looks good with that flat black. Are you going to leave it like that?

Yeah, I didn't think they would be a problem. But since the guys at Discount Tire had told me that they would fit, they changed them out for the smaller size at no cost to me

Going to start to redo all the wiring under the hood. Should be fun.

Thanks. Got one main plug extended and hidden, going to hope to finish the other one in the next couple days. Need to figure out where some of the regulator wires go too, so that should be fun.

Also got the passenger door fixed and working on the driver door now. Only have the outside lock to do then its done.
