I understand. My Mom and Dad moved a few years back and with out asking me they sold all of my old "junk to them" or pitched.

For instance I used to race imports in High School and did a lot of Four Wheeling. They sold multiple engines I had race preped and totally rebuilt for $200 sold manual transmissions for $200 and pitched all my electronic parts. So my life time of toys and parts are now at ZERO and I am starting over again! I used to save Transformers when ever I came across them not so much because I planed on doing this but I know how expensive they can be and when you need one nothing else will do!

The Boy Racer in me almost cried when I heard what they had done! Back then I was aprenticing to become an Electronic Repair Tech and maybe go to college for something inthat field! So I had access to all kinds of close to free goodies that you just do not get if you are not in the right place at the right time!

So I envy your parts inventory! Do have fun....It will take me a while but I am enjoying the process.
