Big things in the works

So a lot to update on since the last post. First of all, the glovebox is finished being painted:


I also got new tires in the mail for it. VERY good price on some good michelins. The previous tires were these crusty old whitewall Sava tires, and the rubber was splitting right along the transition between the white and black rubber. The new tires were a pain to get on, but a little bit of soapy water rubbed along the inner surface of the split rims helped them slide into place (I've since read that it is better to use baby powder or the like to prevent rust, but you live and learn).

So, with the glovebox mounted and the new tires on, I've got a complete P200!
