    and a couple of dozen other things...

    not much.

    pulled the drivers fender off and prepped it for paint. Also removed about 5 lbs of bondo from the rear bumper. WHy there was that much bondo in the bumper I don't know but it took the better part of the day to get it off the bumper. It looked like whoever did it was trying to take the small indentation out of the bumper.

    put the gas back in after installing the sender...the sender seal was toast and the gas was running out onto the floor...took it back up on the lift, pulled the drain plug and saved the gas...:bouncy:
    replaced the seal with a new one,put the gas back in and...no leaks...:thumbs2:

    will hook that wire up tomorrow...:D
