ok ill be sure to inspect it better tonight and tomorrow when i get a chance to actually start on it...... or next weekend if i have to finish one of the projects i already have first lmao also any good tips for getting mice out of your car??

Put mothballs under it, and maybe a few under the hood and in the trunk. Not too many in the engine and trunk though, you want to be able to breathe when you drive it. They keep most critters away.

dryer fabric softener sheets work just as well as mothballs at keeping little critter out and smell much better.

Also cheap and effective - Irish Spring soap bars. They smell nice, and have such a strong scent that it drives the mice away. I use that trick in my sheds as well as in cars. In the cars, I hide the bars under the seats and in the dash. My dad has used then in the fender wells of his truck, since the mice like the taste of headlight wires. I bought a bulk box of soap at Costco, and still have over half of the bars left. I guess I'll never have to worry about not having soap for the shower, if I run out of the usual stuff.

Door hinges can be repaired with just the bushings if the hole isnt egg shaped from the bushing being long gone. Pins might be available at the local auto parts place, just not listed as for an Eagle. You can try to match up a replacement. One final thing I've come up against is excessively worn door check springs - the rollers get seized up, then they wear a groove in the spring. When that happens, its time for a hinge replacement.
