I don't see any front torsion bars on this list :-)
I used to carry a half shaft too, but haven't in recent years.
Extra wheel bearings...
Starter
Generator,
FI stuff....
As Clint would say "a man's GOT to BE PREPARED"

- 10mm & 13mm combination wrenches + a small set of sockets & ratchet
- screwdrivers
- pliers
- the little U-shaped hub cap puller
- OEM lug/sparkplug tool
- long extension bar for the ratchet (very handy lever for pulling hubcaps
with the U-shaped puller; also works well with the OEM lug tool)
- 4-way lug wrench
- scissor jack
- folding wheel chocks
- jack stand; I never reach under a car that's on a jack
- Yes, I have an extinguisher.
- quart of ATF (if applicable)
- long-nosed funnel to reach the AT filler
- a combination wrench that fits the generator pulley
- mechanic's gloves
- rags
- scissors
- a 12" piece of 2x4; there are just so many times that it comes in handy
- fix-a-flat
- cheap rain poncho
Things Under the Back Seat:
- spare distributor cap (just because I happen to have one and it's small)
- spare voltage regulator (ever since the day the points welded shut on
mine and I happened to have one for another project in the car)
- bits of wire and miscellaneous connectors (including the tiny ones that
fit the FI), wire crimper
- jumper wires with alligator clips
I've used every item in this list except the fire extinquisher at least
once.
I know a lot of VW drivers also carry a spare throttle cable.
Are you sure your name isn't Keith Park?? I think he carries all of that
on an Invasion, and then some. :O
Note:I do think it's a good start. : )
