Default What to hold on to and what to part with

Hey guys,
So my garage is starting to fill up(ok it is already full) with 944 crap. Between gutting out my 84 while building it as a racer and stripping my 83 parts car, now I'm left with tons of crap and not sure what to keep and what to sell and what to scrap.

Does anyone buy door glass, quarter glass, headlight assy's, power window motors, etc? Or should I take this stuff to the scrapper ?

I realize that the ac compressors misc interior stuff have some minor value, but I'm not sure that demand is very high.

Heck, at this point I have two spare motors, only because i got a good deal from a friend but they are taking up space and I keep thinking should I sell or hord em away.

Any thoughts ?

Maybe it's time to pay for a membership and start listing it all :P (but that sounds like work to me)

I look at it this way: there are a lot of used 944 parts that can be had pretty reasonably, if you need them. Keep what you think you'll need to replace on the race car if it gets damaged - especially if shipping would be a bitch (fenders, hood, etc.). Sell the rest.

Definitely get rid of the windows and hardware - you'll never use those. You'll probably never need 2 spare engines, either. If you want, get rid of one, and rebuild the other to make a sick, high revving motor with a standalone fuel system. Then you can drop it in some day for a little extra power.

Interior? Get rid of it - even at a discounted price. Use that money for something else.
