If you have the time, plan for a couple of "shakedown cruises" where you take the car out and drive it for several hours straight, but not too very far from home and with all of your tools and parts in the boot, "just in case".īy doing this, you should be able to raise up any big issues before the big day and either get them fixed, or at least identify which tools/parts you'll want for your piece of mind. I took to carrying a trolley (floor) jack, too as it was easier and quicker to use, although THAT took up a lot of luggage room! wire (black), small-ish roll of electician's tape, 15' of baling wire and a squashed 1/2 roll of "100 mph" tape, tube of RTV, tube of "Goop" and, again, rags to fill the voids.Īdded to the trunk they took up next to no room as the boxes fit into the rear wings (fenders) just before the taillights (no evap control can) and I was driving a "B."Īlso in there was the spare (of course), jack, lead mallet, KO wrench, old blanket, and an old "hoodie" sweat shirt, bottle of motor oil, tub of axle grease (in a zip-loc) and a gallon of distilled water.
It contained:Ī spark plug "tube" wrench, a large-ish phillips screwdriver (used as a tommy-bar), a combination philips/flat screwdriver (mine was stolen from a VW tool roll), a pair of dikes, a pair of needle-nose pliers, a "vice-grip," one combination wrench set (open/box) from 1/4" up to 3/4" and two open-end wrenches (3/8-1/2 and 9/16-5/8), a very small flat screwdriver and a long-shank medium flat screwdriver and a few rags to fill in the void spaces.Ī "mini" tune-up kit (1' length of fuel hose, new or good used points, cap, rotor, primary HT lead and #1 spark lead), a static "test" light, couple extra signal and running light bulbs, 10' of 14 ga. I got along for years with a very simple set of tools in a small ammo box (7.52 NATO).
