What is the stranges thing you found in your TA while fixing it?
« on: January 06, 2010, 03:54:39 PM »
What a mess with my TA.
 
Frank actually found a gold cross (necklace) that was wedged up against the cigarette lighter socket in the back to make it ground.  LOL

Also, the wiring for the cigarette light was hooked up to the radio!  Turn on radio, the lighter would go on!!

There's more, but I can't remember what else he found while rewiring.
To be continued......................... :o :o

I thought this would be an interesting subject.

Y88 - loose change, spoon for Dairy Queen, hair barrets (under the carpetting!).

80 firebird - cassette tape, set of keys (not to the car), can of car wax, lugnut to a 90 something chevy, 1x4 12" long, lug wrench to some other vehicle, ash try full of cigarette butts, container of antifreeze (no engine in the car!). Ohh and some shag carpetting that smelled like something crawled up and died in it!! Went in the dumpster very quickly - almost lost my dinner in the process.

in my old 76 there was a bunch of jail paperwork from when the guy got arrested to when on probation and job release and his sex offender registry paperwork.

otherwise common finds, beer bottle caps etc.

inside of one car when i stripped it down i found a date written on it to a few years prior. and one sef tapper screw holding in the vin# lets just say that car was dismantled after that find.
