Probably about 15-20 in the shed, plus some extractors, plus a few up in the roof, plus the bits I leave floating around in the boots of the cars!

The whole shed is piled up with crap. mostly XD-F but there are alot of XW and XY parts, badges, panels, dashes, diffs, wheels, steering wheels, gauges, about 10 doors, windows, 6 bumpers, gearboxes... When we bought the XY for my sister, it came with 2 12x6 trailerloads of the above parts the guy collected over 30 years...
Not bad for $1200

1 box, which the wife keeps hinting will be thrown out if she gets a chance, with a Triumph PI system, some Commodore bits under the bench and a drawer full of driving lights. Not much point in having boxes of bits for the wagon, 2003 Verada, and the Charade is the beater so who cares.

About four more that usual as my wife trashed the front of her car on Sunday. And the yard is full of the bits I got from the wreckers for it today.

I have one decent size box containing many things from an EA headlight and indicators, steering wheel, climate control and trip computer units, and many auto related parts, to a bent clutch fan and other junk. I also have a complete 4 speed auto transmission sitting right next to the box, and 2 bumper bars sitting on top of it. I actually cleaned it up a fair bit yesterday!

I had part of my shed full of all sorts of stuff that we acumulated over the years.
A couple of C4 autos, single rails and a few bits and pieces of earlier Falcons XPs XYs etc. I have a little 289 Windsor on a stand slowly being put back together also, after it sat there for a long while...... We had a clean out and sold most of em, but still have some bits and pieces. |

I'm pretty new to the car game in the eyes of my mates (only a 20 year collection)
the wife reckons we could knock the piers out from under the house and it wouldn't move, the kids reckon I should ebay most of the crap . I think I'll keep adding to this collection for another 40 odd years and give em all something to clean up after I'm gone

Boxes of parts? hahaha. I should take some pics of the junk at our bus depot.
Most is Dad's, some is mine, and all of it is rubbish.
