other 2002 Beauty Shots

Barn find!

 

Not really, but there is an animal lesson here. See the yellow dog food bag? NEVER store

pet food in the same space as your 2002!

 

I started cleaning up my wiring harness under the hood this past winter and was looking closely where

the big bundle goes into the hole under the fuse block. At first I thought it was some sort of spider

egg pods or bee combs... but then to my horror... I realized it was nuggets of my dogs food from that bag.

 

A f'ing mouse had collected dinner and stored them in the hole. As the pit in my stomach grew, I prayed to every god ever worshiped that he only ate food and not wires.... this weekend I am going to connect up the battery and see. Visually, all looked OK.

 

I surgically removed the nuggets with a long-nose pliers and put glue traps all over the place ... and moved the food inside.

You got off lucky. In the early '80s I was rebuilding my motor in the garage and a mouse packed both frame rails with kibble. Long story short, body off restoration.

Stories about mice are why I use the car capsule!

 

Hope your wires are all ok.

Soooo many pretty 02s. 

 

First really warm day here in quite a while.  Went for a drive with another inka buddy.  His car is exactly 500 cars down the assembly line from mine.  Younger by a couple of months I think.

 

Snapped some pix.

It's OK, I know my 02's are the bastard children hiding in the cracks that no one wants to see. I'm working on it

But if I may just once, share two of my favorite E30 photos I took yesterday.
