Hi Tom,
Naw, yur not goin' nuts.
I remember when I was in college, (1978) and was doing the same thing to my '68 122 which I stupidly had crashed. I kept boxes and boxes of parts for years in my parents garage. I also removed the entire front crossmember with the suspension, brakes, and steering intact as well as the entire rear suspension, axle, etc. and put them under my parents deck, (they wouldn't fit in the gagrage). I used many of the parts in my follow up cars, a 144, 145, 1800, another 144, and another 122.
I wish I had those parts now!
The front and rears were still under the deck when my parents moved in 1998 and are probably still there now. I wonder if I go back and explain to the new property owners I want to retrieve them, LOL. We still joke about my famous last words, " I may need those parts one day!

hmmmmm. the springs, cross member, diff. and trailing links may still be good!
....hey maybe even the steering box, A-arms, ....hmmmmmm
