Car bits

As I have mentioned before, I have a classic car.
This means I have to keep a few spares around for sudden unexpected car problems...It seems though that I have secretly been hoarding bits I have previously removed. These are of no good to me, but may be handy for other people.


I have listed the parts that are worth selling on my local car club forum.
the items include:

120mph Smiths Black Speedo (my car will NEVER get near that speed! =p)
Three clock Mounting cage and plastic Binnacle (I have installed a more retro single clock dash)
Three clock Dash + Clocks (Same as above)
52mm Temperature Gauge (I have one built into the single clock)
Little soldering iron set (I have my own better quality one)
Aldon Race Spec Distributor (I have an upgraded version)


If all the above sell for what I have asked that will add around £125!
£125 that was sitting around in my bedroom doing nothing!!! Mental!!


Update:I just checked my Emails and the Distributor has been sold (sending it once a cheque arrives) and the dashboard is taken and is being collected this week!!! =)


Also in the maybe pile I have a classic 1960's metal adjustable cooling fan... because I am going more retro I am holding onto this so when i change my engine I can fit it. However, between now and then I may think it is worth getting rid of.. (Its only worth around £15, but they are hard to come across should I change my mind come new engine time..)


I have managed to get rid of a tub full of rubbishy bits I will never use. Random bolts, rounded screws etc... I was keeping them "just in case" but I realised...My car clearly doesn't need them, she is driving around fine without them...and why would I want to put old rusty bolts back onto her if she does need a replacement soon! I usually end up replacing the removed items with shiny fresh stainless steel items anyway!


Here are a few pictures of some of the items:

This is the questionable Retro Fan.

Also, Yes I am aware it is Wednesday night and that I said I would be doing my paperwork on Wednesday.


The truth is I have been! I am just not finished yet... having to date check everything is really slowing me down...
Expect a full post on that tomorrow with picture of the piles before and after!
