Default Re: Inside trunk tools

Of all the cars I've had (and is in hundreds) this is the first I've had to modify the body to get comfortable. Did learn not to wear boots in a mini when hit all three pedals at the same time. Modify the seat and mounts, yes but this is the first that needed a sawzall and an electric knife.


Since could not lower the wheel did need to raise the seat (another first), guess I've gotten spoiled by tilt wheels (even my '70 Judge has one).


Will try this way for a while but can always add spacers to the column mount to drop the wheel a bit.


But this is the reason two of the tools I added to the tool pouch under the mat were a big hex socket for the (now) longer rear seat bolts and a star socket for the front.


Fiero tires didn't fit in the rear compartment either but it had a space saver up front.


ps my hands only reach my knees if sitting.
