Time for a little update.

I sent my order for a VM-1 and D3400 in to SHCA, just waiting for a reply, and once that's taken care of and arrives, I'll be able to have some boom again. I also got a b&d 20v cordless drill and 16 ton hydraulic crimper for my birthday, so all of my soldered 1/0 lugs will be crimped as well now. I want to get all of the extra attachments for the drill as well and then I'll be on my way to making my own cuts for a custom enclosure soon hopefully. My PAC OS-2X started that static again this morning, and it increases frequency with the alternator so I think having the HU ground going through that to the stock radio ground is causing a loop, so I'm going to try and ground the 80prs to a new ground and hope that takes care of it. If that doesn't work, I don't know what to do. I'll update again with the results once that's taken care of, and if the problem is still there, maybe one of you guys with the same adapter can throw some help my way if you had the same issue. Thanks.

So here's the hydraulic crimper. Didn't get around to using it before the sunset, so no crimps today.

I fixed my grounding/alt whine issue. Turns out I had some insulation crimped into the wire. All fixed now. But I decided that while the dash is apart, I'd run my RCA's.

Getting them zip tied and tidy looking

Better picture of the head unit in the dash.

Also got some blue LED's to replace all of the interior lights with (doors, dome, maps, glove box) and white LED's for the license plate. I didn't snap any pictures of the little things before the install, but I'll try to get some of the lighting in the morning on my way to work. Perks of leaving your house at 5:30 :P having blue interior lighting is something I always wanted to try out so I did it. If I end up not liking it, I still have all of the stock bulbs.

Got the email back from Jon with the invoice for my order, hopefully it'll be shipped out tomorrow and maybe be here by Friday :)

Other upgrades I'm in the plans of making sooner than others: smoked headlight/tail lights, HO alt, and getting better at remembering to take pictures.

So here's the interior lighting. It looks brighter in the pictures than it is in person.

From the outside

Doors

Map lights

And dome lighting in the rear seats

It's just replaced OEM lighting, so they only light when the doors open or the buttons are pressed.

Oh, and the D3400 and VM-1 should arrive tomorrow afternoon, so I just might have everything set up in time for the TDH show this weekend, depending on the time I get off work tomorrow and Friday.

Talking to Mike Singer now about a 270 6 phase hairpin. Might run it dual with the OEM alt, but not sure if I'll need to remove anything to do so. Any advice about that?

Thanks guys. I'll try to get some better pictures of the LEDs inside, these were kinda rushed since I was running late leaving for work this morning. Everything is slowly coming together
