KEEP ALL STOCK PARTS???

[srvtribute]

I've just done a weber conversion on my 77 Midget and I'm losing the cat converter this week. I also am not smogged.
I have many parts that I personally will never use. Am I better off keeping this stock stuff {zs, carb , intake, cat pipe, smog pump etc} and eventually selling it with the car?
I realize we're talking low buck vehicle here..Opinions?

I'd keep all the parts. Someday, someone might do a stock restoration. I have 2 large bins of parts in my garage, and a spare tranny, front end, doors, wire wheels under my deck.

I am a purist at heart and although I like modified cars I especially like old cars restored to original condition. Saying that, I would keep the parts and give them to the next owner of your MG. I know that the Midget isn't a high dollar car but who knows where the value will go in a few years or so. If you have an attic or storage area above the garage I would store the parts for a future owner who may want to returen the car to original condition. Just my 2 cents.

Keep the parts. Spridget parts are small, and you might just want them some day. You could probably store an entire Spridget (minus body) in a couple of boxes.

Drew: They GROW & multiply in "cool, dark" storage places. Next thing ya know they're covering every nook & cranny available.

Trust me on this.

If you don't want 'em, pack 'em up & send to me..I collect ZS stuff...& let me know the shipping.

But it is always the wrong ones that multiply.

 

[drooartz]

So are LBC parts distantly related to wire coat hangers?

 

[jlaird]

Only the rear tail pipe hanger.

I've also heard that they can reproduce several times a year evolving into "parts cars" that can take over an entire yard! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cryin.gif

Oh my gosh, the entire yard. No grass to mow.
