If I would have started this thread asking you what "parts" are involved in building a car, how would you have answered?



You didn't, and we're discussing what you did claim and state.

Would you have referenced the paper engine ID tag that was found under the alternator bolt? What about a piece of tape that was used to hold down a vehicle traveler sheet? And what about the primers and paints? How did you overlook THAT area of "parts" regarding your definition of "ALL".



You seem to have forgotten that you were the one who used the term ALL in your original post, so I'm questioning how you can make that claim regarding gaskets. I understand from your answers that you do not consider gaskets to be parts, so that still allows your definition of ALL to apply.

Why didn't you call out the antifreeze or the gasoline? What about the brake fluid or the grease that will be used to re pack the wheel bearings? I could go on and on but do I really need to? Did you really think that "ALL the parts" were actually about perishables on the car? It seems that many people have opinions relating to certain areas while overlooking other areas of concern. I still stand by the wording "ALL of the parts"! It would be extremely hard to RE paint an original part with the original paint wouldn't it? Parts are Parts!



You mentioned the statement by the P.O. that the tires still contain the original air, yet you consider the replacement of perishables to be acceptable. Do you consider air in the tires to be a perishable item?

I'd love to hear an answer regarding my question about the air in the tires, which, based on the P.O.'s word, is original air....

The perishables are a totally different area of reference. Would you have even have had your rebuttal had I not told the truth regarding the subject and what would be in play for being replaced?



Yes, if you claim all and only the original parts (except where a part has worn beyond re-use like your brake line example) are to be re-used. Had you said "all original parts except those which have excessive wear are are not safe to be re-used", I probably wouldn't have raised and eyebrow.

If you remove a gasket and it's re-useable, will you re-use it to keep things more original?
