I finally found the source of that smell in the truck. (Not me for a change...)
Mrs. Meece built a humungous nest on top of the cabin air filter behind the glove box. Complete with dead babies...

Good grief. Let's hope the lodgers didn't dine out on the wiring loom!
My worst fear. No signs so far, and it appears that Minnie moved out some time ago.
Wow! They were doing some serious homesteading!
I knew a guy here in Arizona who had a car parked in his garage over the winter. When he went to start it in the spring he couldn’t get it to run. He opened the hood and removed the air cleaner lid and inside his air cleaner was like your photo, plus about 50 seed pods from saguaro cactus.

probably broke down. Just call me greasy.
What was that mouse doing with the screwdriver? I guess he thought the handle looked like Minne in a penguin suit.

He did eventually get evicted, but not after going for acouple of rips around the backyard trails. Does is still count as riding 2-up if it’s a stowaway?You didn’t dislodge that cute little fella did you! That’s his house!

I think that was a personal defense screwdriver. I woulda hired him for security detail if I didn’t need that space for my air filter
Yuk 
This thread reminds me of an old VW I bought from a guy with engine in pieces. He started the project then left it parked out in his side yard for a year or more. He actually had 99% of the parts needed and I had the rest. Got it together and running but the heater did not work very good, and for anyone familiar with the old VW's that says a lot as even when new they were borderline.
Had the car at the shop at work and was checking the problem out and tried blowing up the heat pipes from the engine. All kinds of nasty stuff in there. Well as I was at the shop and in that shop is an overhead crane rated at 40 tons.... Got wife to climb the ladder up to the crows nest to run the crane and hooked on the front bumper and literally picked it straight up on end. Shook and blew more air till all the walnut shells and nesting fell out. Hooked heater piping back up and actually had good heating after that.
