On my return I have started to strip my shed out of the Marina hoard, the scrapman has just taken three A series engines, six steering racks, three propshafts, two type 65 Borg Warner gearboxes, and five brand new exhaust systems, along with two new fuel tanks, and a couple of new wings.

I bet the weigh in won't know how rare or indeed what these parts are worth, I'm not bothered, there will be two K series engines out there tomorrow, and a Torsen PG1 gearbox along with three R65U.

Next week I'm dragging the cars off the front, and down to the scrapyard, my wife deserves better, and I'm going to give it to her .

You cannot take this stuff to the grave, it doesn't make you feel better hoarding stuff, it doesn't matter how rare or valuable
Ah man could have done with the powerfolds, a set of ZT door cards and HK door speakers. If you're looking for a recycling center for your T4 I'll sort that for you

Must feel like a big relief after getting rid of all that and see some free space again. I got rid of a lot of silly spares I had around the garage last year. Don't really keep any spares anymore and just buy parts and and when I need them.
