    I just know where everything is. IDK. No labels, etc, I just put shit places and, if asked, I can leave for about 10 minutes and produce said part.

          Best organization I have seen yet outside of a parts shop is LJ851. I aspire to have my new shop look like his. It's clean, organized, and bad ass
          Also, Home Depot has these bins in the swing area for storage season. They are pretty cheap now, but will go on sale soon. AND, they have clear plastic shoe bins back by the totes in the storage section. Those are pretty good as well.

              Two piles.

              Stuff that I have taken off the car, and stuff that I need to put on the car.

                  I have a box labeled "Rubber Crap" and another labeled "Plastic Bits" and aside from that, a shelf or three full of big metal shit, and 2 huge tubs full of wire harnesses.

                  My big goal of 2012 is no more spare parts at all.

                  Closing SOON!

                      Like zm said^^^ get a shelf and bins makes finding little bits great. Cause of lack of space my sorting is boxes in the basement motor, electronics/computers/switches, plastic, lights ect.

                        haha, been there!

                        I've gotten somewhat organized and put most stuff in those large bins with build in tops you find at Home Depot/Costco for 5-6$.

                          They're either on my car...or they aren't. Once I actually have a place to store shit, then I'd start organizing

                            on shelves in my garage. But since my garage is in the midst of a serious remodel, I've been giving a lot away.

                              Levent,

                              If you need any more Akro-Mils bins, check out HGR industrial surplus. I was just there a few weeks ago and they probably had 10,000 used bins in all different sizes and colors. They'll take lower priced offers if you call them up.
