Re: new to the thread
The trunk pull down motor was missing but I found the whole set up for 10$ at a junk yard. Had to rewire it but it works and sucks the trunk lid all the way down with doing this tho I found out my 3rd brake light works but 2 of the 5 bulb sockets are busted so gotta replace the whole thing.

Re: new to the thread
Well seeing the egr system does not work it ill be gone... I've ordered the block off plate for it and as I go thu everything and pull the A.I.R. sytem out I will chase the plugs back to the main harness and remove them to. That way I don't have 100s of plugs running around and am able to clean the engine bay up.

Re: new to the thread
Working on my first custom part for this car, for the rear hatch light. I'm goin to make it so when the trunk opens up the light comes on auto. seen the switch is gone. Got. Few ideas will post pics of this mod when done. Should only cost about 5$ to do and 30 mins of time.
