The problem I have is that I don't know for sure if the parts I have are needed. Once I get the car(s) back together then I'll have a much better idea of what can go. I get the feeling there won't be that much to sell - most of the parts that come of vehicles have more or less had a life...


...somethings like power steering pumps and alternators and steering boxes and starter motors could be refurbished but even then the cost of the cheap pattern parts makes that a bit of a dodgy proposition. I mean - I know - I'm sure you know - and perhaps other readings this thread also know that the original stuff is far far better than lots of the modern replacement doo doo - but as is often the case the temptation to buy cheap is strong

Not having to deal with the female nag has been one of the best parts of being divorced - it is apparent however that if I were to pop me clogs at this stage of the game my children would be left clearing up my ****. I don't think that would be fair - so I will be sorting and ordering stuff when I get the new workshop up and running.
