got my rear strut tower bar in, after I drilled the holes I had to widen them up, was off by 1/8 inch or so, so took some vise grips and bored it open a little more, I then took some thin vaccum line and sliced it up the center to wrap around the holes. cleans it up some even though I'm putting in the carpet, also cut the carpet for the strut bar. Its kinda cruddy outside or I'd do more.

Fixed my cluster bezel and some of the switches. Made it so they stopped bobbing around when I drove, and so the turn signal switch would stop bouncing away as I slid little corners lol

Got 2 rims and tires in the back to mount for fun tires. hehehehehe I cant wait to use them too.

Found out that all of my wiper switches I have are bad, found out a headlight switch is bad. Found out all of my idiot clusters I have spares of are bad.

And now am on the hunt to buy new ones to replace it.

Replaced the wheel bearings in the driver's side front hub (left hub is next, along with the passenger side strut mount).

Solid tranny mounts. There's a lot of vibration... the sound not too bad, but it vibrates like a bitch above 4000 in all gears but less in neutral. Seems like something is out of balance in the tranny/motor? I'll probably be pulling them back out... Lame.

So, my passenger window hasn't worked since I got the car last July, I figured it was a bad switch, and just never got around to buying some. A few weeks ago, I went to the pick & pull, and got some that looked damn near brand new, mint condition, and put them in my car. No luck with the passenger window. Today I pulled my car down in front of my apartment to start tracing the wires, I was just sitting there, smoking, and I decided to try and roll down the passenger window for the lulz. Guess what? **** ROLLS DOWN! AWWW YEEEAAAAAH!

Finally fixed my headlights.
If someone had told me to just unplug part of the CPU as a fix, I would have NOT believed them.
