[Roadsters] A light at the end of the tunnel

[Gary McCormick]

SRL311-13291 saw daylight (while still in the garage) y'day for the first time in years. My wife is on a garage-cleaning mission (for a garage sale to raise funds for a school trip), and I was able to access the Roadster, pull back the double car covers and sit in it!

There is a very real possibility that I will have sufficient access to the car to work on it before summer arrives.

I discovered that the left rear tire is cracked and doesn't hold air, so although all four will have to be replaced due to age (and didn't have too much mileage on them when it was parked in late '89...), I will have to put a cheapie on that corner to be able to roll it in and out of the garage to work on it, before replacing all four when it is ready to be driven.

Hood latch doesn't release from inside the cockpit, so will have to figure that one out, too -- but the important thing is that I will soon be able to start working on it!
