so after RE-starting work on greenie, I have moved it to the driveway and have been working on it the past few weekends (brakes mostly). every time i'd go out to work on it, i'd see about 4-5 large ants on the hood.. i thought it was weird... looked EVERYWHERE for an ant motel inside the car.. took the shop vac to EVERY nook and cranny I could find thinking that should do the trick...
well.. after thunderstorms yesterday, I go to check to see how damp the inside got (window seals are bad) and there's the damn ants again!! i decided i'm gonna find out where those damn things are coming from... took me about 5 minutes and VOILA! I go to lift the center console pad and it looked like something out of a horror movie.. the WHOLE tray, about a 1/2" deep was FULL of large ants (winged beasts at that!) and were still alive! i would've taken a pic but they started to scramble as soon as I moved the pad, so i wanted to vacuum them up quickly... long story, short (or too late for that?) i end up taking the back pad off and find 2 big ass mud dobber nests and some more random ants... (the backpad is dated too! ha. 1972) heh.. i also found my shift rod bushing crumbling to pieces as i vacuumed around it... fun... so how does this "beer and bbq" thing work?? car is at my folk's house and I need to do pushrod tube seals as it leaks oil something fierce... nice and smokey when running... anyone have a mobile lift (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |
