IT'S ALIVE!!! So today I installed my drive belts, reattached my y-pipe to my cat. conv. and topped off all fluids. Connected my battery and it fired right up after nearly a year.

Been awhile, but I got her running and no more exhaust leak. Installed brand new O2 sensor and repaired wiring. Today I finally installed new lower control arms and clutch master cylinder. I also bought the rubber seals under the headlights from Nissan, those seals are freaking expensive but I finally got them. Next week if the weather is good I will be able to install the front bumper and then test drive it.

Sweet, good to hear you almost have it done. I think that green looks nice with the dark windows... Is your interior black?

Black dash and console at the very least would look dope in that car. I test drove an SE in that color with tan cloth back around 99 and I remember thinking how good it looked, plus it was the first I'd seen at that point.

Thanks mista0406.

maxima278: the dash doesn't bother but I'll keep it mind though.

Car is finally up and running. Now i need to get it registered and insured and then take it back to the bodyshop for touch up, wet sanding and buffing and paint the wheels. I will reinstall lip kit and buy new fogs when all is said and done. Hopefully i can have all this done within the next 2 months and not another year but other than that everything in the car is operational.

Oh yeah. I've been prolonging this since '07 and I finally did it. Can't wait to finally drive it on the road. I miss driving this car.

Madd props for following through...no matter how much time has past. It will all be worth it once she's finished or atleast how your mind see's her but I'm sure she'll never be completely done if your like me.

Thanks Shiloh and James. I might take some pics today with most of parts already put back on but still no lip kit. But it is true; this will never be done. I'll try and post pics later in the week.
