Couple years ago I acquired a 72' GTV for free (through the digest)which
had sat for about 10years to be parted out at my mechanics shop. The
spare tire area and trunk was carpeted in mouse feces (so much so that I
immediately broke out in a rash on my arms) and the area between the
cams had been a home to some other woodland creature. In the course of
stripping the car I recovered the Spica Air Box from the trunk and the
Ansa tail section of the exhaust. Piled all my booty into my booty and
drove the 40 miles home. Decided to clean the air box and discovered 3
field mice which were hibernating (it was Feb) in each of the runners
within the box. Installed the Ansa on my GTV and drove approximately
10miles then parked the car to continue some other work on the car. Upon
returning to the rear of the car I found one more field mouse, very
woozy and blackened. Thus I summized he had made a home of the Ansa and
somehow survived the 100mile flatbed ride to the mechanics, the 40 mile
run to my house from mech AND a 10 mile test run within the newly
installed old exhaust!! Talk about mighty mouse. He drunkedly walked
away into the bushes never to make a home in a car again.
Take care,
Antonio
