What's wrong with this picture Part 2, but much more serious this time.
Quick update:
A damn mouse did this!
As I was working on this I saw all of this "stuff" packed inside there (pics above), and when I opened it up some more I found the entire frame rail, from BEFORE the front k-member bolt on back, was packed with these tiny little seeds about the size of a sesame seed. I would estimate I got about a pound of them out, so far, but there's still more in there that I wasn't able to get out yet due to wetness and what-not. Have to let things dry out and keep working at it, I guess.
Thankfully there seems to be some sort of internal bulkhead just to the right of the upper steering box hole, as I can't seem to punch anything through there. And blowing air "up" from one of the holes further down the frame doesn't produce any results.
I'll put some batteries in my inspection camera and have a look-see tomorrow evening sometime, but considering how many of these I ingested and inhaled this afternoon, I'm just hoping these are US-based seeds, from a US-based mouse, and not some weird biohazard seeds from a secret lab in Oz or NZ with a genetic mutation virus that's going to eat my brain from the inside out!
