Weirdest place you've stashed car parts?

In reply to classicJackets:

I've STILL got a pile of parts in the basement of my fraternity house 2.5 years after graduating lol.

97 Mustang Cobra hood and louvers tucked behind the couch, 69 Mustang shifter bushings in a jewelry box for nearly 30 years now...just in case! I have a bowl near the computer that is the "Get this crap out of the house" catch-all that has O2 sensors, Turbocoupe computer, Cougar badges, box of Holley accelerator pump cams and a Dixco 8000 RPM tach that I can see on top. I don't dare dig too hard.

Small shifter knob collection on the DVR next to a couple of pop-off gas caps. Dang it! Now you got me looking around and I notice that I have 2 large boxes sitting by the sewing machine. One has a carpet set for a 67 Mustang...not sure what is in the other and I am not digging as it also has an aftermarket shifter boot, an aluminum foot shaped gas pedal, a couple of 69 Mustang woodgrain dash panels, remote mirror parts, and a crossmember sitting on top. Another hood and a spare tire cover (these are officially art as one has a horse painted on it and the other is black cat)hanging on the wall. A quick glance behind the couch also produced 2 sets of window felts and a convertible top that is mislabeled as a 1985 to 93 Mustang top but is in fact for earlier Fox Mustangs. Please don't ask about tools in odd locations as my brain will explode!

P.S Bottom drawer of the sewing machine is fullof badges for Mustang, Cougar, Ranchero, V8, Camper special, Javelin, Jetstar?!? and what the hell in a Nubira?

The third drawer on my dresser if full of random "garage" stuff that just never made it out there....

Sometimes it was amusing to have a g/f into cars. This was cleaning and painting the engine from her Volvo 1800ES in her sunroom over the winter:

Painting the calipers for her 2003 MCS in her dining room:

Both projects were over 10 years ago...

We didn't cook much anyway and the male to female ratio at ERAU was laughable so it's not like we ever had dates to impress either. Also good lord these pictures are 10 years old which is why they look like they were taken with a potato.

EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE!

Thank you. I thought it was just me and I HAVE been watching a lot of Dr Who as of late.

My buddy in high school rebuilt his ACVW engine in his bedroom. Too cold to work outside. I had cylinder heads in my bedroom closet.
