Spent yesterday going through the parking and signal light sockets and the blinker mechanism. They've gone from dim, flicker, and off to functioning lights!

And, I washed it and there was a lot of water intrusion into the cabin. Not looking forward to driving this thing in the rain.

And, I pulled the speedo cable and lubed it. Hopefully that will cure the manic needle.

And, I finally figured out how the strap and buckle that secure the spare tire to the hood work. For 10 years this thing has baffled me. It made no sense. I used the pat# on the buckle to pull up the Canadian patent drawing. So now, I need to muscle the gigantic 7.50 x 16 tire and wheel up onto the hood.
