The Greenbrier got new wheels today.

These were initially installed on the convertible but the tires were just a bit larger in diameter than I was comfortable with but they seem to work OK on the Van.

These are 15 X 7 Wheels with a 205/65R15 tire.

When these tires age out, I may see if I can find Whitewall tires for it.

Had changed out the o rings on both sides of the diff and one continued to leak, so took the left side out again, properly cleaned the sealing surface and reinstalled. Once the rain stops we will give ol' Red a run down the road.

Strange how the more you work on these, in some ways the easier it gets! Helped pass a rainy morning.

Prepping another Corvair to sell. Sold and delivered the V8 to a new home in February. Delivered the Imposter Corsa to a new home on Thursday. Working this weekend on getting a 65 Monza vert ready to sell. Drove it 45 miles today to a cars-n-coffee event in Scottsdale with no issues other than the chokes needing to be set a bit more for the cool mornings. Had it up to 70 MPH several times on the freeway with no issues.
