Well, I tidied up the amps and wiring for the speakers. Put the amps in the well of the trunk and made a cover for them and to regain some use of the trunk. Got it painted, fit the spare in there, the jack in the right place and the lug wrench in its place... But it's all for nothing. Well, at least the spare, jack/handle and lug wrench are useless. (a) the car is too low to get the jack under it, specially if a tire goes flat. And (b) the tuner lugs are not the same size as the stock lug nuts . The car has had the tuner lug nuts for years now and somehow it never became necessary to remove the tires away from the garage (great luck I guess). The car was not quite so low as it is now (12" F/12.5" R from certer of wheel to fender), but the only time I have jacked it up, I ran it up on ramps first.. I don't think the spare has ever been on the road! (Knock on wood!).
I wonder if I could just remove the spare, jack, etc. to get more room/less weight and replace them with a can of fix-a-flat, a tire puncture kit and a 12V compressor.... Is anyone else doing something like this?
