What did you find in your barndoor ?

[nane_cox]

Hi,
What did you find in your barndoor when you get it ? Old documents, strange parts, ...dead animals (I found a mouse under the fuel tank of my Vespa), a tree (perhaps for sweden barndoors recently found), dirt (I think about the 1950-51 that was half underground, UK bus now) ?

Perhaps you found something hidden for years when you unweld/cut/removed a part.
Feel free to add your pictures and comments.


Here I go for the tomtom bus:
In France, we must have a square ticket from our vehicle inssurance, and it is placed next to the front windows.
My son played with the square ticket yesterday and I told him: "be carefull, it can fall in the loover and then, I'll have to order a new ticket from the inssurance and it will take too much time to get it " (I have to go to the London next Thursday so I must use THE ticket I have).
As you can easily imagine, the ticket fall in the vent loover, near the front windshield...

So yesterday night I made a hook to get the small ticket. I tried to blow air with the compressor, from under and from upper.
And what appeared: Dollars ...

I won't be rich tomorrow nevertheless:
one ticket half burnt from 1 dollar
one ticket half burnt from 5 dollars
One is from 1950 and the other from 1963.
Small treasure, but treasure anyway...

(So I did not roar my son)
...and I get the inssurance ticket back too.

I found a rusty old pin that says "where are all the nice boys?"

in my first 54 panel, the 'Elfix' , I found some old Wurlitzer (jukebox) label cards in the treasure chest (under front seat area). later on I found a 1957 Jukebox, which has the original 'Elfix' Company sticker on it.

In my '54 Single Cab there was a LA Times newspaper classifieds section from 1955 under the front seat, in the little compartment.

Also a bunch of NOS engine tune-up parts but they were all for a 40HP.
