Painted brackets in place with a new tie-down bolt. I took the opportunity to spray heavy Rust Check fluid on all the surface rust I could see.
Cleaned out years of crud in the well.
New used tire in the well. That’s a 205/70 R15. There’s lots of room in the well so I’m thinking I’ll look for a used 225/70 R15 that will match the tires on the car.
All neatly tucked away – hopefully will never see the light of day!
Next I’ll need to stop a bad valve cover oil leak before I take it for a 100 km trip to the windshield shop.
