Todays projects.
I fixed the steering wheel. I had not put in back in the correct orientation when I cleaned it up a few years ago. Also discovered a washer in the wrong position, so I fixed that, and the little tab that holds the horn “collar”(?) in place.
The first picture is the order I put it in. The second is the order I found it in, with the washer between the steering wheel nut and the horn collar. The final order is spring - steering wheel - washer - nut - horn collar - nut.
Second project is starting to clean the trunk. There is some surface rust from water getting in over the years. I’m going to remove the rust, and then paint up those areas to prevent more deterioration. Then put the trunk back together, and install new trunk weatherstripping to prevent future leaks.
Feels good to be active with the car again. I’ve spent most of the past 9 months away from home, so to have spare time while being at home is great!
