Do you keep your items after modding.
« on: 04 September 2008, 13:26 »
Now being mk4 Golfs they're not classics and not hard to find standard.

So when you add a part do you keep the old one?

 Everything I've done I've kept the old parts to revert it back to standard when I sell it on. And i plan to do this even for the exhaust and suspension when and if I get round to those!

What do you do?

only kept my old brake setup, old gearstick and i've got the old springs but the drivers side is so badly rusted its not worth anything

sold the following

steering wheel
intercooler pipe
rear lights
mudflaps

and threw away scratched / broken interior trim

at this point in time i can see myself keeping the car until it rots - can't think / find / afford a car which suits my lifestyle as well as the MKIV  :smiley:

can't be bothered trying to sell stuff on

the way i see it stuff like brakes, pipework etc there is no point keeping it as you've replaced it with better, longer lasting items  :smiley:

I've kept my old front valance, but have thrown everything else away so far as it's all been unsellable. I also don't really have much room for storing things!
