After I got my vert and had it parked in the garage, I noticed a funky smell. Tore the back seat out to fix the seat belts and there it was, a large mouse nest. Luckily the seats weren't all tore up but the smell was/is bad.
My plan this summer is to replace the carpet and scrub the inside clean. What i dont know is are there body plugs that can be removed for drainage like the older mustangs had? And if there are, are they rubber and should I order some replacements ahead of time?
Thanks.

Im not sure as it happened before I got the car. Looks like there are some metal pan plugs in the rear that I can remove.
