Default Took off body side moldings

Removed the molding today. I was surprised how easy they peeled off. The tape holding them on was a little bit of work to remove. We used heat gun and Goof Off. It looks sooooooo much better without those things!! Also much easier to clean.

Made the stupid mistake of cutting my door wires to remove the doors. Good thing I know how to solder/shrink wrap, hahaha. Luckily I only did the drivers door. When I looked at them to cut them I seen that the PO had cut 2 wires, the one that rolls the pass rear window up and the one that locks the door. So at least I didnt cut them for no reason. After I soldered them up everything works great.
