QUOTE(Spoke @ Dec 7 2013, 12:03 AM)  It helps when you threaten to move to another city. I did this last year when I got a job in Pittsburgh and I live in Allentown 275 miles away. Totally cleaned out my stash, sold what I could and threw away the rest. Ended up staying in the house and now the attic is clean. Only one small box of valuable 914 parts. Rule of thumb is if you can't sell it for some $$, then it's not worth keeping. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hide.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) I need to do the same sort of clean out in my workshop. Anything that's not going on my car in the near future will be sold and/or given away. My wife has made it very clear that anything remaining once I'm gone will be thrown in the dumpster. |

I used the one step program. Nearly all the 914 stuff went to Bruce Stone. Nearly all the 356 and 911 stuff went to Walt Watson at Com petition Engineering. What's left fits in a Vanagon, and gives an excuse to hit the Lit Show and 2 swap meets a year. Both donations took numerous trips with vans and trailers. I now subscribe to the TSO theory of life: Throw Shit Out. It appears to be working, 'cause I have my 911 in the Garage and I still have room to work!

QUOTE(Brian_Boss @ Dec 6 2013, 06:24 PM) Am I the only one? Any suggestions? Want some free 1.7 liter tin? You are not alone. If I had a stash of parts and time, I would buy 914 tub to put them on. My problem is finding the time to work on my 914 after work, house stuff, wife and a baby. Otherwise, I would sell it cheaply or give away. There are alot of newbies on this forum and seems like more and more price gougers selling parts. |
