Speaking of spares, this is what came in my car, a Sears Guardsman in 5.6 x 15.

That's some serious tread--almost 4 inches wide!

Here's what I am thinking about: a larger plywood piece, that will fit more precisely while sitting on top of the spare tire.

I really like the idea for the new frunk floor, I think it will be much better than the old one perched on top of the spare.

Thanks. It should be more stable and usable. Plus I get to make another "improvement".

I have a similar idea--stay tuned (get it?).

Liner installed. If you missed my earlier posts, the rubber covers the gap between the liner and the inner fender wall.

At some time, a PO had it covered with vinyl. It has a few small nicks.

But the vinyl is pulling away, especially along the "rain gutters".

But most of the rubber, and one mounting block are sad.

Here's the inside all stripped. I will take the vinyl off the outside, and then figure out how to refinish it.

I undid the various glues: contact cement over the main surface, red glue where the vinyl was wrapped under, and black silicone along some edges.
