What did you get done this weekend?

I started with a real good washing for the longhorn... it was getting pretty nasty. Underbody, back side of wheels, fenderwells, scrubbed the bed liner real good... I'll be moving my baby sister's house hold goods next weekend, and I don't wanna get her stuff all nasty.
I started with pulling the inst panel out. I wanted to do some more painting in there, (I'll get pics tomorow) and I was sick of no speedo and an inacurate fuel guage.
Some of you may remember a month ago or so i posted a Q about my fuel guage... it would read 1/2 tank when the tank was full, and then go empty at about 1/8 of a tank. Well, it turned out to be the little resister thingy on the back of the guage. Replaced that, the needle went straight to full. (just tanked up this morning)
I've also been looking for a real short speedo cable. My rig has stock cruise control and the cable between the speedo head and cruise control servo thing on the fenderwell snapped back in September, and I finally gave up looking for now. I simply went to the junk yard and grabbed a full length one and slapped it under there. Bummer the speedo turns out to be inacurat huh?
At least my guages are better looking and my fuel guage works properly.
Then, i installed a black stock headliner. Non headliner truck, i just glued it up in there, looks great, and gets rid of the echo from the stereo.
Then, I pulled an old door from Longhorn #1 and start woking on it.... like 8 trim holes to weld up, quite a bit of pitted rust to deal with, and some turned into a 3 inch by 2 inch hole.... butt welded some sheet metal in there... coat of dura glass, and then I DA'd the whole outside of the door. Started getting sleepy and called it a night after squirting a little pimer/sealer.

So what did you get done?
