> What would you keep, and what would you toss?
Ah, time for the "clean sweep team"
My first criteria is to ask:
"Is this part for a vehicle I currently own or one actively I'm
shopping for?"
Second criteria:
"If I'm building up a vehicle would I *REALLY* use that part or buy a
new one (or seek out a better condition one)?"
Third criteria:
"Will I take the time to maintain this part in good condition or let it
deteriorate?"
Fourth criteria:
"Do a have a place to store the part where it will not be subject to
accelerated deterioration and will be out of my way (not interfere with
my other projects)?"
Fifth criteria:
"If I decide to move, would I pack it up and take it with me of would
get overwhelmed with the task and leave it behind?"
Personally I'm looking at a move to an unknown location in late 2004
and used the above criteria to drastically reduce the spares mound. I
have managed to get my TR spares down to 2 tote boxes plus a cylinder
head and a set of minilite reproduction wheels with tyres mounted.
The Land Rover's spares is down to 3 tote boxes, a spare grille, spare
tail gate and a new, still in the box genuine LR front left wing.
