Finally got my door panels back on after installing some component speakers. Had to mount 6.5" woofers in the stock bracket, make a nice factory looking hole for the tweeters, and find a place to mount the crossovers in the door panels. Not an easy task!

Alternator belt shredded on me in the middle of a 4-way during some pretty awful rain. Thinking the alternator might have a problem too...

Gonna be sitting in the driveway for a while, that's for sure.

This past weekend was spent in shock discovering how bad of an install PO did with boost controller, no-name mechanical boost gauge, and Autometer narrow band light show. It's shocking how many people think they can just tap anything and everything into the radio's power. It was a nightmare having to go through such a mess, but at least it was all cleaned up.

After several hours spent fixing PO's electrical hack job, I finally got some decent gauges installed. It's nice to have some quality parts with accurate readings now!

Slowly but surely...thanks to my buddy Yalayn for helping with changing up the Vmount a bit. I couldn't find any Puerto Rican's so I enlisted a Cuban to help legitimize my installation!

Picked up an 87 Na two nights ago. Went to check the thermostat since i was getting the add coolant buzzer but had some. Broke off a bolt. Broke an ez-out, and tried drilling the hole but the screw is frozen into the threads and a tap wont work. Haha, Rough past 2 days but im just happy to be back to rotary.
