Okay, this is a borrowed idea but a good idea non the less. I figured I would get it started early so it's easier to keep track as the list grows.
For those who don't know. It's a list of all the DIY's. This is obviously for first gens only being in the first gen section of the forum. I will seperate them by section as the list grows and I have more time. All of these were originally posted by forum members and all are done at your own risk so be sure to do your research before attempting.
