So did a few minor things on the ol’ girl today. Replaced the passenger side exterior door handles with some OEM units as the old ones were wonky/broken.

Also decided to throw a new battery in it as the old one was a two year battery and a few past it’s projected life so rather than chance it I just replaced it. Don’t need my wife getting stranded if I can avoid it and batteries sometimes go out without much warning.

While replacing the battery my inner @Fosscore was coming out and I noticed some corroded bolt heads that need some refreshing. So when I returned the battery core I picked up some silver paint to do that the next time it’s above 50*

every time I touch this thing I seem to have a WWFD (what would Fosscore do) moment :lol:

im proud of you

the "rusty" hardware annoys me.... i hit it with wire wheel or brush and it takes the rust off but still looks like junk. thought about getting one of those small sonic cleaners and see what it do. but painting it is prob the answer

We’ll see. Seemed like the only logical solution that has a chance at lasting more than a few months. :)
