First Look

This was delivery day, but the work part of the day. This is where a friend and I tore out some of the bad carpets to find mice nests, mice in those nests, acorns, walnuts, and many pools of mud and 30 years of who knows what else. Deeming it was dirty as could be I moved onto the tail light replacement that came with the car. Once complete, the radio took our attention as there was a mouse nest (a common theme) of mangled wires. This was where I realized the wiring in the car was going to be a nightmare. We (while not shown here) found vampire clips attached to many cables, factory wires spliced into each other, cut wires, random inline resistors, and a plethora of bad audio wiring. Looking under the hood there was a bunch of cut and clamped off vacuum lines which look like they had been out of commission a while as the vice grips sealing them were stuck closed via rust. Lots of assessing and cleaning to come, that’s for sure.
