Got the new AC Delco blower motor resistor today figured I'd replace it since I found out when I did the blower motor it was still the original style resistor and with 162k who knows how much longer it has

A few months back the driver side door cladding was loose so figured I'd pull it and apply new 3M tape and reattach it but found a pretty nasty dent behind the cladding which explains a few issues I was having with the door so took it to a bodyshop and it's easier to just replace the door so came across this door off an 05 for cheap and picked it up should have it on in the next week or so

Picked up the driver door the other day and cleaned it up, it's pretty clean no rust along the bottom edge might repaint it down the road but looks 100x better then the door on there now hopefully putting it on this week

Scored a set of EXT door panels got them mostly because they had the better wood grain trim, and the trim on the top edge is color matched gray unlike black on my 04 threw the pass side door in and swapped the woodgrain to my pass rear door panel along with that upper trim still have the other side to do
