Just watched another of Ivan`s vids, and if any proff is needed that the combination of the more space one has the more one is likely to fill it with stuff that might come in handy....Just looking at the kit that Ivan has and imagining just how many young folk today might value it as did he..and us baby boomers....????
Watched another of Ivan`s vids on the MK 1 Frogeye Sprite in which he spent quite some time wandering around his collection of treasures, and eventually found what looks to me like a pretty standard pipework elbow of the type used in commercial property heating systems, and which solved a coolant re-routing issue on the Sprite, which if you have ever done something similar can justify a pile of that which to others eyes is junk... (-:
Been there and done worse than that.... In the 70`s I had a piggery building, that housed a few tons of parts collected over the years, and was working on my bro in law`s old Mk 1 Escort, found the starter motor beyond repair, thus exchanged it at the local motor factor, only to be rooting around in my piggery pile some months later and found ...you guessed it... A starter motor that was in servicable condition amongst a pile of old Land Rover and other parts from old cars I had previously scrapped, all kept just in case.... I cleared the lot out, but with all that empty space... ????
