So I picked up this mustang in November and the old owner didn't take care of it...

I was trying to figure out why the top wouldn't go all the way down..

Found all this stuffed in the frame.

A strap, the missing mirror and a 15 mm deep socket..

At least it was a easy fix.

I'd rather have to fish this crap out than fix/replace stuff..

But dang.. I'm guessing they used the window area as storage

I keep hoping to find something of value stashed in it.

On a down side I'm finding the guy used drywall screws in several locations... Nothing like a parts yard run for screws..

The mirror made me mad cuz the po told me it fell off on the highway, I could of used the back plate and got a 5$ replacement glass.. Oh well. If someone needs the backing ill give it away for the cost of shipping.. The 15 mm is going in the collection though
