Well as predicted things have gotten worse. I may have to sacrifice a Toyota or something.

I hate self inflicted things and doing things twice. I rotated my tires yesterday during my pit road bodywork exapade, only to have a nasty vibration at highway speed. So, I took it apart, threw some 80 grit in the sanding block, and sanded the hubs flat. Donovan will be happy to know that the dust chute prevented fitment of the beltsander within the rim. Then, I wire brushed the hubs, retorqued the wheels, and sent it. We'll see on the commute tomorrow as I traverse Planet COVID19.
Pics for proof (1 wheel, anyway)

I fixed it !!! :banana::banana::banana: Then, celebrated on the way to work by laying waste to an older Benz S420 that thought he had some shirt for the Pig. Bye-bye, sucka!

The belt sander gods have seen fit to reward you for your discretion, congrats!

Removed passenger door panels upper and lower. Coated inside the door with rust preventive paint (undercaoting). Removed weatherstripping and prepped for new weatherstripping. Currently have entire interior out and replacing old seam sealer with new seam sealer. Re-doing entire interior. Taking my time with it. Also painted various exterior trim pieces.
 
I did some random video recording at my last salvage yard run. Good way to burn half an hour during quarantine.

 
Today since it's warm enough and only until Thursday when we get a little more snow.

I learned the hard way you have to take off both tires if you want to change plugs, Plugs replaced, Changed Fuel Filter. When I went to try to start the car after replacing these, no power, found out I had a broken Positive Battery Cable Terminal, replaced that. Car started up with a little petal to the metal action: it runs a little rough but it runs. After Running it for a short time I then notice an oil leak on the ground, found out it was coming from the passenger side of the Oil Pan. Going to have to wait a bit on the pay check but i'll be reporting one of these days about changing the Oil Pan Gasket and the Oil. . .
 
Fixing to get hit with alittle bit more snow tomorrow, decided it would be best to hit all the body line and corner area's of the body that are starting to show a bit of rust. I knocked the rust out with 120 grit on the body lines and some other areas and applied a "Temporary" primer w/ light scratch filler. This will help until I can get to re-priming, Body work and paint.
