I was cleaning my 2000 SVT when I decided to remove the jack hatch (or whatever you might call it) and found a mound of fine dirt. So I removed the entire ground effects only to find the front of both sides full of fine dirt. Is this normal or did I buy a used SVT that went for a dip on Galveston beach?

When I first brought this car home I noticed a lot of leaves jammed in the corners of the engine compartment just above these panels...perhaps the car sat under a tree, a lot.
