I have 2. although slightly different than these, I was able to store every bolt/small object from removing/dissasembling my engine. Including organizing all the seals.
or plastic lunch bags

Remove the bolt, then remove the part, and then bolt back the bolt where it belongs. Sure that is more work, but it beats the hell of looking for the right bolt

^ that or a piece of card board you can push a bolt through. it works good for stuff like the tranny bolts where there are a few different sizes you can lable the top and put the bolts in the same pattern they are in on the trans on the cardboard.

I usually use ziploc bags w/ labels...it makes for a lot of bags when things are apart for a few days but saves me the trouble of searching hehe I also have a large ziploc bag in one rear bin with many different sized small screws/bolts (10mm hehe) and a bag of zip ties and a gallon of coolant, just in case. the other bin is just a small tool set

The Best possible solution, is to put them nuts/bolts back into the hole they came from after removing the item in question. If thats not possible, than use ziploc bags.

That's what I do to. Just put the nut or bolt back where I pulled it off from. Or I just lay them around the engine bay or floor. I've taken these cars apart enough times that I can usually remember where they go to.

I usually just throw the screws wherever. I find most of them.
This backfires though...I'm missing a lot of screws in my car... I need to find a place that sells the right size for the car
