Roger, all kinds of space in the boot. Tons of room under the battery (I carry spare water pump, fuel pump and solenoid in there) and behind the facade hiding the fuel filler tube (like spare radiator hose and inner tube). Got a cut down 5 gal bucket with lid under the spare that hold an awful lot like clutch and brake rebuilding kits, wiper blades, 14 gauge wire and tune up kit with spark plugs. More stuff to the left of the spare and and below. More stuff in the well aft of the fuel tank. Got things (soft) over the battery. Lots of tools including timing light and tach. If you move the battery forward, you can carry two qts of oil on the battery shelf locked in place by the battery restraints. Mostly, I help others with this stuff. You think I got a lot, you know Len with the trailer he tows. Only thing I've ever had to use is the fuel pump. Lots of assorted tools. Now, you should see my clever wife pack for a weeks trip including the lap top! When we put a suitcase on the luggage rack, it only has cleaning supplies (very light weight). Still get over 20 mpg and boy does the rear track well.
