The pile of bolts that was on a black trash bag on the carpet of my living room floor is now mostly in this drawer organizer thing. There are a few that didn't fit because I ran out of dividers but I got through 90% of the bolts that I had bagged, boxed and poured into various places over the course of tearing three cars apart. Once I get the list finished, I can start working on sourcing them. I'm hoping to find clear zinc plated bolts vs. yellow zinc but I will likely wind up with yellow zinc since that's what most places are doing because it's a better coating.
I scored these hubcaps off German eBay. The seller had them on TheSamba classifieds but wanted what I considered to be stupid money for them (over $200). I offered him half and he declined.
Two weeks later, they show up on eBay and I bid on them...and won for $100. One is semi-crusty but they don't appear to have a lot of dents so they should re-chrome nicely. I'll have to dig out the others that I have and chrome the best set...if I have two good sets, I'll chrome them both.
Short of the brakes for the front beam, I'm done buying parts this year...unless, of course, something awesome pops up.
