After driving my 75' 2.0 for a little over a year it started making a funny noise when starting up and shutting off. I suspected that it was something serious like the starter, flywheel or possibly the engine(though the car only had 53,000 miles when purchased). So I took it in to the shop to have a closer inspection. After a little hunting, an engine oil filler cap was discovered in the fan/shroud. I can only guess the original owner lost it at some point and didn't worry about where it ended up. I was wondering what some of you others may have found in your engine bays that would make you scratch your head or laugh (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol2.gif) ?

I had my 73 stored at my parents ranch in Santa Cruz for a few years. One day I decided to get it running and take it for a drive. While driving from Salinas to Monterey (Hwy 68 right in front of Laguna) the radio went to static. I pulled over at the first gas station to try to get my tunes back and discovered the Antenna cable had been cut! Not broken but cut in the middle near the gas tank. I took a flashlight and looked down behind the gas tank to try and find what might have cut it and a HUGE Norwegen Rat hissed at me and jumped down under the tank!! I drove the car to the SPCA (back a few miles) and they took care of my problem!! Hawk food I guess!!
Norway Rats (IMG:style_emoticons/default/fighting19.gif) Notice the Adult size range! This baby was at least 18" long Jeff |
