Re: so...it FINALLY begins.

im just gonna take the bulb out of the cluster for the abs. and yea i am REALLY thinking about leaving the ac off just cuz im running short on money for the ac lines. so we will see. dash will be coming off this weekend to drill holes for the clutch master and also to route the fuse box wiring in there and away from the engine bay. also i will be welding up the useless holes that came with the fuse box wiring so that it will look cleaner.
