Minor repairs to the Traction

This evening I spent some time looking over the traction.     One of the things noted in the condition report was that the number plate lamp was inoperative.   After eliminating it was not the blown fuse, I took the light apart, and the problem was that it was just dirty.   A good clean and the lamp was working again.

I also polished the front grille with some Autosol.   I wasn’t able to make that much improvement as much of the grille has lost the chrome coating and is down to the base metal, but i was able to clean it a little.     It is not apparent from the photo, but the bumper is a tad too high and would likely prevent the use of the starting handle.

I also looked under the car.  Overall it looked good.   Minor transmission leak, and a couple of minor rust areas, but mostly very solid.
