RATS NEST REMOVAL 101 - Not what you're expecting... *PICS*
Well it's actually nice out today, so I decided to pull the FD out of the garage and let her get some sun...
Check out this pic of my UIM... wait a second, do you see that?
Tried to move the throttle cable out of the way for a better look...
That didn't work.
Let's get that vaccum chamber out from infront of the UIM...
HOLY ****... thats... a RATS NEST!
I better get some tools...
Time to suck up, whatever the hell that is...
Extracting it from under the UIM...
A TRUE RATS NEST:
Well, that was fun... I found mouse/rat droppings all around the engine, a few even on top of my UIM! After all this, I finished vaccuming up some extra stuff and took her out for a drive. Luckily it doesn't seem that any wires or vaccum hoses have been chewed up, but I'm going to keep an eye out. My car sat for about a month in my garage, I guess the arrival of winter forced the animals to find a new home! Bet you guys weren't expecting this!
Happy Holidays!

Guys, I've ridden in Charlie's CYM and the bitch is pristine inside and out.

. I'm not really sure how they got all the way up there, or why really... I couldn't find any other nests in the engine bay or the garage, so I guess it hasn't been going on for too long. I should set up a hidden camera with a motion sensor, lol...

But seriously if I ever was to sell it (not likely), I'd want it to go to you!
