Thanks guys.

I did some work on it today. I was able to fix a few things (like the door!) ran the car for a while checked the lights to see what needed to be replaced. I still need to find lots of little parts like a door light, new headlights, passenger sun visor, new tails, and so forth.

As far as the shaved doors go, for now I'll keep them. It's gonna cost me quite a bit getting door handles back on there. I ordered a replacement solenoid from autoloc since the driver side door was missing it completely.

The car already had the DEI window roll down module as well. My plan tomorrow is to swap in my Python 990 and fix the aux channels so that each door pops independently and each window can roll up or down independently

I also need to source some new fenders, a new bumper and that should take care of the body.

It doesn't bother me too much with the window thing, but the guy already had the module in there so I figure I might as well hook it up right and use it.

As for plans, not much I want to do with it aside from doing up the interior, suspension and some nice wheels. First thing I need to do i get it back to stock.

Yep just a little work... lol

I'm thinking about keeping the wheels. I'll probably get them machined later on or something. I'm sure the whole setup would look hotter if it was slammed.

I spent about 4 hours reinstalling my python 990 and ripping out that prestiege alarm.

I was able to get each function its own channel.

Channel 2 pops driver door
Channel 4 pops pass door
Channel 5 rolls both windows down
Channel 6 pops the trunk

When the system is armed both windows will roll up. I just need to finish the remote start portion of the alarm and clean the wiring up.

I finally got the car registered yesterday morning and I've been driving it since. I must say, I absolutely love this car... lol.

I still have some front end work to do. Need new headlights, emblem for the grill, fenders. but thats about it. I plan on getting some coils pretty soon.

I never got around to finishing that part. From what my friend told me all you need is the bypass module. He's done that on his GS installs without any issues.
