Hello All,

Well, the work on 3106 continues and we are just about done, at least as far 
as my money will take me this year :-(

Couple things I found today may require going into debt.

1st - Did you know that mice find the center console a wonderful condo? Its 
true, I found the kitchen filled with nuts and just down a bit the rest room 
filled with ........ I think the mice have moved on perhaps even before I got 
the car in Dec.

***** 2nd - Here is the one I need some help with. I have never used water on 
her (since Dec.) and I have water in the car on the driver side floor. I 
lifted up the carpet and some of it fell apart in my hand. I then felt the 
padding and when I push on it WATER? Doesn't smell like antifreeze and is 
clear (of course it is mixed with the mice droppings -- pleasant I know). 

When I bought the car I was told that there was a leak around the windshield 
and that it was fixed in Nov. Now it has been in my garage since then closed 
up (could this water have been from the wash in Nov.?

Any Ideas?

FYI, I also found that undercoating sprayed over mud will actually stay mud. 
When I was removing some of the old stuff to clean her up this is what I 
found.
