Re: What work did you do on your car today?
I got my drivers seat re-foamed by an auto trimmer today. The base and also extra padding in the back.
I still have to bolt it back in yet.
Hopefully no more side bar sticking into my leg.
Cost = $150

Bowtae installed.
For some reason, despite being perfectly square, it's still dipping.
Are the rear frame arms of the FTO on a slope or something?
Will just get the tongue bent to shape as the welding and extra brace were spot on.

Probably would of pushed the radiator thru the top of the car, if that was the case

Because nothing is faster than a p plater in a commodore.....
