Default WORST Part Removed Contest (fun)

I thought it might be fun to post pics of the worst things we have found while working on our cars...I found a plug wire that must have led an interesting life, probably in the mouth of a rat, for my first submission!

10 years sitting sea side in Greece in a wet garage with rats. They even ate the ground wires.

This block was just nasty. And the MAF had been to hell and back.

Not dramatic, but I had a supreme struggle with the expansion valve. Some ham-fisted guy had bolted it in as though someone might die if it got loose. I had to slice it up to get it out. I guess it stands out because it just sucks to spend an hour on something that should have taken 5 seconds.
