Default what to save/salvage?

Any reason to save (not dumpster)rear seats and other interior bits?

Sorry for the oddball question, but job situation now forces a serious move and I must finally drop and crate the engine, trans and some other parts from my very crunched '87 that I've been dragging around for years. I've been toying with having spares, selling parts, or even transplanting engine for when I finally purchase another 911. Hasn't happened, and running out of time.

I don't know what I should do with front seats. Should probably keep carpet as "spare". Window mouldings?

Any suggestions are welcome.

John

That's a tough question. I would be interested, but man you're a bit of a drive from me.

Sell the car to a Porsche salvage specialist? (Oklahoma Foreign, dcAutomotive, Parts Heaven, etc.)

Definately throw a FS parts post up on Pelican before ditching it, someone may need what you have and gain you a few bucks and them a step closer to completion

Unhappy onwards

Thanks for all the replies, I'm getting back to the list with some specifics, and I'll post in classifieds, as well as Pelican.
I have a driver's window, any reason to keep? Calipers, hubs, brake master cyl. I assume that stock torsion bars and shocks aren't ever needed? Same with bumpers, bumper shocks? What about guages and switches, gads even all the funky hoses. I found my set of stock spark plug wires, I'll have to check what vintage they are.
If anyone sees this, thanks for any input.

John
