Finally had a minute to spare, so I started to rebuild my front bar
CHRISTIANITY: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...

Re: What work did you do on your car today?
OK I have just done the fuel filter on the car. Let me say that it is a prick of a job 
I have to say it was in bad shape
first some fuel from the filter....

Now for the filter

I also went out and got some new tools to help with the job

it's been used for about 30'000+ K's
so I think it's a little over due for a change

Re: What work did you do on your car today?
FINALLY got my rear bar in and fitted it this arvo. needed a couple mates to get it into position, but it fits now and is looking awesome. needless to say, my car is now protected from trees and rocks taking out the back 

I'll have an FTO one day... i swear!

Re: What work did you do on your car today?
Today i....
Pulled out my rear seat and back rest to get access to my rear speakers.
I took them out so i could slide my massive sub under them in the boot
to free up space in my boot ( as i had it a different angle taking u more
room in there before ) then i put the speakers back in and reassembled the back seat.
So now if i want my spare tyre or to change subs i need to repeat that process
Thanks to Dstocks for giving me tips on taking out back seat and speaker =]
Oh and i also installed my back left tailight, getting my car back to normal again yay
Now just for the group buy rear bumper, installation of my front lip, the dint taken off my left door and readjustment of my scissor doors.
