My mouse eaten Rustiolet

Well where do I start?

This mini was offered to me after it had sat for a long period of time unused and unloved.
The price seemed very good so I went and had a look.

Its been sitting in a garage with sacks of grain.. Yup you guessed it MICE!! and lots of em.
Ive counted five nests in the car so far!!

This car was very cheap but even i nearly walked away as there is just so much to do.

Mice have eaten most wires (pics soon), carpets, Seat edges, the hood, hood bag, anything plastic inside has nibbles and the whole car STINKS of mouse urine.

The outside looks ok-ish but has been subject to an MBM tidy up at some point.
So here it is in all its bashed up rust and mouse eaten glory





I have set a mouse trap as I'm sure there is still one in there somewhere!!

And yes that really is mouse poo!!!




Needless to say I think its gonna be a year or three before this one enters a miniday show n shine

How many minis have you had so far in 2008?? I've lost count.

good luck with the mouse hunting. I've caught 2 squatting in my garage (not anymore!!)

Will it be in the miniday show n shine??

Ive been really good recently.
Ive had the chop since august 07 and have no plans on selling it for a year or two untill the cabrio is show worthy.

So with the 30 thats three. I'm trying to cut down but I just cant say no to a rusty mini in need lol
I need some mini patches or something.

Its tempting to stuff the little bugger and have him as a hood ornament after all the havic its caused.

If we had a grottiest mini category I would enter it

I think its gonna be a while before this one sees the light of day.
TBH I dont plan on doing anything special to it.. just a clean up and mot.

quick tip for you, mice hate moth balls! put some in the mini and they will leave as soon as they can. worked in my 'spare' mini

Thanks burt.
Will give that a go

Mwoohahaha!

I have managed to get one little critter but I have seen another winking at me from under the dash.

How many can there be?!?!?!

Nice mouse, but, I don't think that hat suits him

Yeah, Looks a touch tight
