I guess we all have our own
challenges during the course of restoring our beloved Imperials.
I've been working on removing the interior in my spare time and,
after pulling up some of the old carpet and pad, noticed a foul smell. I
didn't give it much thought, figuring that meldew and rot were the
cause. I sprayed some Lysol and went back to it the next day when it
still smelled bad. But it was a day off and I wasn't going to
waste it. After fighting with the back seat and finally
discovering it has screws in the bottom, I climbed out to get
the socket when I noticed the jeans over my
left knee were wet with a thick coat of something brown covered
with dirt, rust particles and carpet strands. Upon closer inspection I
realized what it was. Apparently the cat got in
through the missing floor pan and decided to do
his business in my prized Crown Coupe. And now I was wearing it. I
cleaned it out of the car and off of me. I went back, refusing to be
detured, to find he did it again! While I was washing it off he
was crapping in my car again! I've never been much for cats and this is my
first one. He's 8 months old and may not see his first birthday at this rate!
It's at times like this that I remember what my dad used to say, "If it
came too easy you wouldn't appreciate it". I have a feeling
I'm going to love this car!
Happy Holidays everyone..
