well i had everything done except the door panels (dash, paillars, console, seats) and i had everything working but the dash was cracked from the air bag blowing out of it,so i got a new dash, which is why its out now

and i decided to do the door panels as well so i figured while it was appart i can delete anything i dont need out of the wiring harness... such as fogs, defroster, cruise, vats, all radio wiring (excpept power i got my own wiring with a mp run, no sense in keeping stock wiring ya know) stupid things like that jus tto make the harness simpler and less confusing. i am very tempted to delete the air bag, as i don want to get hit in the face with a first generation air bag, but then there is all ways teh legal side of it, and i dont wnat to get ****ed in the end if i get in a accident

i simplified the window/mirror harness and rerouted it to the drivers door, along with the wiring for a switch for a window switch to the pass side. im taking my time this time in putting everything in, and i want it to look mint, it look awsome last time, but this time i want it to look mint, so you cant tell its not from the factory.
