"Awareness is the enemy of sanity, for once you hear the screaming, it never stops."

I have five plastic bins of bolts in the garage.  They're from the four cars I've dismantled over the past 4 years.  Until last night, I didn't know what most of them belonged to, what their size or thread pitch was or how many I had.  Actually, I still don't know how many I have because I haven't finished sorting them...but I'm well on my way to organizing what appeared to be an insurmountable task.  Most of these bolts are very rusty and compromised in strength/quality.

I've started looking up the replacements for these bolts and I've had quite a bit of success as long as I don't expect to find the 'exact' replacements (Kamax, Knipping brands).  The only issue I've come across so far is that some bolts on the car are identical in every way except the head size...but only one of the two is available now (usually the larger size).  So...I'm only going to buy the replacements as I use them to ensure that the hardware I buy is going to fit-the last thing I need is more random bolts.
