Thanks, looks even better now that I got it cleaned up. It had been sitting for about 16 months.

I got the brakes figured out, all of the calipers had a few bubbles in them but the drivers rear pretty much had foam coming out.... Got them all bled out and now it stops with a firm pedal.

My wife found just over $6 in change....

Disconnected the Grey/Yellow TPMS wire so that light would go out.

Cut and buffed out the headlights. The drivers headlight is missing one of the rubber covers and has a dirty haze inside of it. I will have to see if I can tear it down and clean it up. I took the picture before I got the drivers side buffed.

I forgot to mention that it had an exhaust leak. I crawled under it while I had the front end up bleeding the brakes and discovered that one of the seams on the drivers CAT has split. Not all the way around, but it will if I don't take care of it.

Tomorrow I will pull the headliner out of it so I can get it to the upholstery shop on Monday.... and I am going to drop the head pipe and re-weld the seam on the cat.

Think that's pretty much it for now.....

Jared
