Since I had all the fluids changed, I thought I'd take it out for a first ride of the spring before tearing it apart. Unfortunately, the coolant started coming out of the radiator at a rather rapid pace, so this is all the further I got.
Teardown pretty much started immediately. Upon removing the spare tire covers, I discovered two of the original double white sidewall tires!!! Tread wasn't great, but they both hold air, AND they fit under the spare tire covers. Double white sidewall tires were standard equipment on the 180 models, and I don't think they're available anymore. I think I'll keep those for a while.
