WOW!!! What a find!!! If you see evidence of rodents, though, I would check behind the fan to see if there is any debris on top of your cylinder and head cooling fins. I had that problem when I bought my car after 10 years of storage, and I would hate to see you toast an engine!!! Any problems w/ oil leaks/ seals drying out from so little usage?

Hi Brian,
The only evidence of rodent inhabitance so far is under the bonnet. I bought some Wurth SKS stonegaurd in gray to touch up the gas tank. The engine is bone dry with no leaks at this point. Did you run into any problems putting your car back on the road after 10 years of storage? I've driven my car about 300 miles now and all seems normal. Still haven't been more than 25 miles from home, but I have a longer trip planned in the next couple of months.

I had a couple of oil line leaks where rubber hoses met the brass crimp fittings. Car had 56k miles. Compression was great! I was lucky the little critters chewed an alternator wire, or I would have never known about the nest on top of cylinders 5 and 6. Could have been a disaster! Put 30k on her since. Enjoy!
