Winter parking

Today I left my car for winter-parking. I found a place where it will be kept warm and clean during the cold Dutch winter. I won't be seeing my car for a few months now...

Emptying the trunk

My trunk was full of old parts. Some junk but some originals! So this was worthwhile investigating, especially because I had no idea what some parts were!

The most interesting part in this photo is the little cooler in at the bottom-right corner. It's a cooler for power steering liquid. I was told it's only really necessary when racing so not really something for my car but I'm definitely keeping it!

The cardboard crap at the top actually used to be the glovebox but the previous owner ripped it out. Not cool... But the most important parts of it, the edges, are still good so I could replace the cardboard with wood or perhaps the same cardboard...

The other big metal parts at the bottom, including the little wheel are used to mount the airconditioner pump. Good to keep!

I had no idea what this was at first but this, is the airco-pump! It weighs very much so I thought it was an electro-motor or generator of some kind at first. It's original so I'm gonna keep it. If I'll ever be able to use it I don't know...

This is part of an old LPG-kit. No need for it anymore.

Old air-intake for use in the old LPG-kit.

Need to keep! Old airconditioning radiator.

This is the most important part to keep. It's the original air filter. I want to clean it and put it back in after I get rid of all the LPG stuff.

Some little pump. Also from the old LPG kit I reckon...
