Parts car - what should I keep? Anyone want an engine?

    I've recently picked up an '86 240 wagon parts car. The only issue is
    that I pay $40/month to park it. What I'd like to do is strip it and
    then have it towed away for scrap. I've already removed most of the
    trim items, the mirrors, the lights, the seats, and the stereo. I'm
    going to take the carpet (good shape), the blower motor, the heater
    core, and (hopefully) the wheels with their newish tires. What other
    parts should I consider removing that would be worth the hassle and
    might still be usable on my '88 240?

    Also, does anyone know a good scrap car removal company in the Toronto
    area who will take this beast in it's naked state, with possibly no
    wheels as well? The engine is actually quite good (anyone interested?)
    and the tranny worked well too. The problem with the car was RUST...
    the entire floor was rusted out (but for some reason the carpet
    survived!).

    Thanks,
    Clayton.

    ps. I'm in the Toronto area if anyone is interested in a B230F Engine
    with M46 4 speed + OD. I'm not sure the mileage but can find out if
    you're interested (its parked about a 10 min drive my house). Let me
    know... .

    I would take the
    Fuel Pressure Regulator
    Fuel rail (There is a nice home made pressure tester made from these
    on the Brickroad)
    Oil fill cap if its the metal kind ( also a pressure tester for
    crankase ventilation-Brickroad)
    Stereo for the OEM connectors when CD player goes in. Just attach to
    new wires & plug in
    The little square plastic grommet that holds the fuse cover on, just
    pops out, don't drop it
    Center console
    If you can get the windshield out and can store it, its worth the
    price of a removal tool to do it
    If it has the bracket for mounting belt accessories w/out the AC take
    it
    Ign Control Module from under the hood, can always try to sell it on E-
    Bay
    AMM
    Sunviser clips if not broken
