Mike, I'm the same way - I could never afford new parts so I always kept stuff I replaced just in case I (or a buddy) needed them. If the parts are still good, it can't hurt to box them up and keep them, providing you have space. As far as worn suspension parts, would you want to put a worn suspension part on your car, or give one to a buddy? Plus, if you put a potentially bad part on your car or give it to a buddy and something bad happens, you will probably end up on the wrong side of a lawsuit. Just not worth it to save a few bucks anymore. And as far as the gas tank, leaking tanks are an accident waiting to happen, even if patched. And a old gas tank is a potential bomb in the right (or wrong) conditions. I'd lose that ASAP.

As new parts go on I am starting to collect a lot of old parts. Is there any reason to save these old parts? Particularly old front suspention parts and the old fuel tank and lines. The tank has a hole in it btw. Space is running out in my garage and I'd like to discard some of this stuff.
