I had the tool kit (except for the jack) media blasted at Alternative Blasters back when the car was done. I had a mix of tools, but at least the large crow bar and jack crank are originals. There was quite a bit of rust/corrosion on them. I used the POR-20 I had left over from the manifolds to paint them. Its a fairly durable paint that loves anything rusty. I used Duplicolor light blue from Schucks/O’Reilly which looks pretty Swedish. Since the stow-away area has been bed lined, I’ll have to figure out how I want to store these. The tools and jack were never clamped down like you’d see in other cars, thought later models had a special box or case for the parts. Before and after.
