I recently moved and hauled my modest stash of Vanagon parts from the previous basement to the current garage. Not only that, but mid-move I discovered two Vanagons at a junkyard near the new house and bought several more parts "just in case." If you are moving to a larger space it will fill up on its own, so do whatever you want. It won't matter anyway. You're carrying the curse with you.

To: vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM Date: Friday, May 31, 2013, 1:41 PM Hi all. I've been downsizing. A great feeling! But.... I'm considering storage costs v.s. advantages of keeping and "carrying" larger parts like these: Steering knuckles brake booster-cluster-frame steering column coils doors, hatch, slider etc. etc. Right now I live in a house with an, "ahem", suitable basement but I may move. A very general question but .... Have others who've moved to a smaller residence found that keeping and "carrying" parts like these was or is, worth it? Having easy access to parts is great, but along with that, what will the Vanagon used parts future will be like? Should I keep and "carry" all this stuff assuming I "stay" in Vanagons? Musing the future, Neil. -- Neil n Blog: tubaneil.blogspot.ca '88 Westy http://tinyurl.com/c8rlw6p '81 VanaJetta 2.0 "Jaco" http://tubaneil.googlepages.com/ Vanagon VAG Gas inline-VR Engine Swap Group: |
