Today's find - Rather than replace the washer hose, just splice it with a piece of toilet water supply pipe.

 

Hey! That's 100psi. An upgrade.

I did find a bit of metal that hadn't rusted right through.  I was amazed !!!

Dug into the car today and found this:

Oil filter wrench? And really cheap beer.

[Scott Sislane]

same here, not a single item. No dead animals, no $, no drugs, no tools, no paper slips. nothing....... and I've been in every inch of the car. I think the previous owner(s) was quite the neat freak.

Maybe leave a surprise for the next caretaker of your 02. Like one of those fake lotto scratchers that says you've one a million bucks. [emoji1]

In my 1975 Mintgrun: coins, a matchbook, an empty plastic film canister (popular for herb storage in those days), some oil change cards in a little plastic pocket on the driver's door. I saved those, because I remember having them on my '71 in the '70s. And because now I can prove my (now) East Coast rustbucket is really a "dry California car ". I did not find the broken bottle of patchouli oil that has made my car stink since I bought it. Carpeting, insulation, and seats are now out. Much better.

But the horror was finding a cheap faux diamond bracelet and some nasty lace panties jammed in the trunk near the gas filler tube. I sincerely hope that these didn't belong to the last PO, because I met her. Shudder.

Found some nice broken wires in a bed of loose 40 year old insulation under the fuse box.

 

Nothing fun though unfortunately.

Found this handy tool underneath the backseat in my first 02 30 years ago. Still keeping it in my current.

Found one more tool to add to the large aluminum oil filter wrench I found (which fits my mazda filter perfectly as well).

Old window gasket installation porcelain "bone"? Or primitive self defense weapon?
