The mouse legacy

June 8, 2008

Spent most of today cleaning out the area behind the pedal box. This looks like it's where the mice had their nest, bless 'em.

They'd managed to pull in a huge bundle of shredded black plastic bags and I filled a Dyson with various bits of other debris from their nest area. This is (I think) the heater wiring which has either been gnawed or has just perished. You can also see the amount of rust which has hit the engine bay. Once the mechanics are all working, that'll be the next thing to hit.

About Inca Yellow

A while back I inherited a 1979 MGB GT. It had been sat in a garage for nearly two decades and was in desperate need of a bit of attention. Knowing absolutely nothing about cars and even less about engines I, of course, decided to get it back on the road.
