Take the time to clean & detail the engine compartment if you haven't already. Degrease the area - use anti-rust paint on exposed seams etc. . You could even paint the compartment so it will match the new exterior paint coming later . One thing you should do is find the OLD Style Moth Balls - and put them inside the car and the heater box & air vents . This will stop the mice from making a home there & wrecking your interior . Keep wrenchin' ! Brien. new york Message: 1 Date: Thu, 21 Aug 2003 06:33:30 -0700 (PDT) From: Kevin Hauser <grinding_gremlin@xxxx> Subject: Re: Digest Number 864 Well, I wish I could say yes. I have three children who were with me and they had a friend over and my Mom and Dad(where my car is sitting on there land) were watching two small children. I got the car out of the shed and moved aside, but there were so many kids around I was worried one would get hurt doing the swap. So the car sits motorless until next weekend. I'm borrowing an engine crane so hopfully I'll get her going soon. As most guys with kids know, kids come first then the cars. :) I may get it done just in time to drive it for a month before I have to put it away, but, at least i'll have all next summer to work on the body and work out the bugs....er, mice, snakes and whatever else has decided to take residence in the car. When I was removing the motor I found a litter of kittens under the car, they since moved on so no kittys were hurt in the moving of the car. Tee Hee. I will keep ya posted. --- gremlintime@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx wrote: > ------------------------ Yahoo!
