I had to clean out my storage coop today, jack up the roof that was 
falling in, put in a new door, and just clean it out.
The scrap man cometh and tooketh away a couple hundred dollars worth of 
metal and various Spridgebits.
How did I accumulate that much crap?
6 fenders, 2 engines, 3 trannys, 2 diffs, 6 bumpers, 2 sq body bonnets, 
some big healey stuff like a radiator, bonnet, and door parts, loads of 
tires and rims, some doors, and 1/2 dozen top frames not to mention 2 
halves of a 69 Sprite and 4 boot lids.
I now have room for a few cars in the coop.
Do not worry, if I threw it out, it needed to go.
None of it was worth a dime except to the metal man who's eyes lit up 
when he stopped by and saw the mountain.
He filled a rack truck AND a 14' trailer.
If anybody needs a folding top frame, let me know I have about a dozen 
more. Where do they come from? (don't answer that Kevin ;)
Buckets of bolts, like 5 gallon buckets, seats, or what was left of 
them, and a bunch of my kids VW parts. All gone now.
  But at least I now know what's left and I can find it.
10 Bugeye doors, 4 Midget doors, 3 windshields, 2 each bonnets, a stack 
of bumpers, a mountain of top frames, Shut up Kevin ;)
and 6 smooth case trannys along with useable fenders, boot lids, and 2 
engines. And the main coop is empty! All the parts fit in the grain 
elevator area where I could not even climb over the stuff before.
A good job done that needed to be done.
And I took a hard look at what is to become Father Jack's Bugeye.
Whaddamess.
