So I have decided the Mirada needs to come out of storage for some TLC. Here's the rub... it's been sitting for about 6 years and was put away a bit hastily when young and dumb. :eusa_wall:
While the body and such appears to be sound and rust free, there is likely a list of engine/fuel removal issues that will need to be sorted. I assumed as much. Fortunately a 318 doesn't require a degree in mechanical cryptography. Worst case is swapping in another 318 or 340... right? :eusa_eh:
The worst part is that some mice seem to have gotten in. I shoulda mothballed the hell out of it. The year before I stored for winter after an oiling and had good luck. Not this time. There is a bad smell and at least one dead one on the floor. It's foul. I assume this will be my biggest hurdle. I am actively hitting google, trying to find what I can, but am curious what the J Body crowd has to say about my stupidity. I figure since I'm new a bit of hazing is in order.
After I live down the shame, I've gotta roll up my sleeves... where do I start and how? Thanks in advance.
