What did you do to your Sentra today?

There used to be one of these threads on QG18 that lasted super long, and I think one would be great here, for those who want to update us on their projects without starting a brand new thread every time they do something to their B15. Basically, just post what you did (if anything) to your Sentra/SER/Spec V today, it can be as minor as a wash or oil change to something as big as a motor swap! Pics are great too!

I guess I'll start:

Today I blacked out my front calipers and back drums, lubed up the pads to prevent squealing, cleaned out my trunk and gutted most of what was in there except for the spare, made a "Home Depot Lip" out of garage door bottom, Rain X'd my front windshield, and painted over some rust on my rear fenders. I also blacked out my front grille, and changed my headlight bulbs (GE nighthawks were a big dissapointment; they lasted a little over a year!) Still waiting on my rims from the powder coat shop.

What about you guys?!

It’s essentially a pathfinder at that point, no? Pathfinders are a little bigger but they have awd options

Scoured the local junkyards during winter break. Stumbled onto a 05 1.8 special edition with 93K all black interior. It was in great condition aside from the busted transmission.

After the yard manager refused to sell, even as a rolling chassis, I gutted the interior. I think I found one of the only local b15's with black seats that are not in terrible used up condition.

Driving the car is almost a different experience with a driver seat in good condition. Also scored a center console storage cubby and the b15 subwoofer enclosure, not to mention the coveted glove box.

Ive finally achieved an all black interior swap and the best part is I picked it up for a song. Happy New Years.

Alrighty, I’m giving Tritton first dibs since he asked first but if something changes then I’ll let you know.

Did that to my 2001 Sentra today. Six months ago I upgraded to a 250 amp alt and a 60 amp hour AGM under the hood so she can handle all that.

Complete build log is here:

Welp life went a little off the rails recently but things are back on track. Made it back to the salvage yard and pulled door seals and driver seat belt. Obviously seat belts are a high wear item but Ive never come across another vehicle with a frayed belt and this will be my third. Anyone else go through these things every few years?
