    Barn find advice

    I know it sounds dumb, but get one of those insect bombs and set it off in the car with the windows up. Dont go near it for a day but the mice and any bugs will be gone. You said you were going to gut it anyway so it wont hurt anything.

    Question: Oil pan with piece of skirt piston WTF

    NO question you should rebuild. Pieces of pistons have a nasty habit of getting in the way of other pieces causing a real failure, been there done that. Anything as bad as those photos show is a catastrophe waiting to happen and then in will not be cheap.

    To all convertible owners about ruining soft top with hard top on.

    I have been running convertibles for over 40 years and never put the top up unless it is raining. Never had a top wear out or fail during that time. Current 91 has 125000 on the clock and the top is never up except for winter storage and for that I do advise storing with the top up.
