Ants in my rear end....this is a first

She's been off the road since 1986.... I guess a colony of ants moved in a long time ago. Didn't work out very well for them. I'm kind of nervous to see whats hiding in the center section.

quick jack Lift is awesome- I've had it for 2 years and makes basic car maintenance much less painful. Quick set up, full under car access and you can choose between wall plug or battery power (one or the other at order time). The lift in picture is the shorter older model- if you buy...go for the longer newer version i think its the xl Super stable, quick lift up. I also have a maxjax (mid lift height) in storage- used it at my old house- its better yet a total pain in *** to prep the cement floor to accept bolts.
Don't think about it .... just do it. After age 40 I needed an easy way to get under my car...

I'm happy to know that others have realized just how good a storage bin garaged convertibles make.

Tip - If you leave trunk open you can pile even more stuff in. Ask me how I know!

Wow. I've had ants under the floor mats before, but never in the differential!

If my car looked as good as that 68' there wouldn't be anything near it. As Nigel Tufnel said in Spinal Tap "Don't touch it! Don't even look at it!" That's what I'd tell my kids. Yes I know, they still wouldn't listen.

Not sure how the ants got past the smell of the gear oil.
