Default Junkyard 944, any parts worth saving?



Found this guy whilst sourcing some parts for my DD, and the engine is actually really clean and untouched by the vultures... a rare thing to see on any car here. However, the interior is completely gone, gutted to metal and wiring. All of the glass is good, including the rear hatch. Allegedly, the engine and trans are good. I don't have a 924, but should I attempt to save some of these parts from the crusher? Give me your thoughts



EDIT: I ACCIDENTALLY PUT 944 IN THE TITLE, ITS A 924

I would be more than happy to take the side view mirror if it's not an aftermarket one...

Rear hatch and any relays that crossover between models.

If the rubber drain tubes on the back of the front turn signals aren't cracked/rotted, I would definitely use those - they are F-shaped pieces.

Keep the input coming! I forgot to mention that everything is 25% off in this yard this weekend, so if I should pull anything out of it I don't want to make more than one trip! So far I'm planning on getting the hatch, the mirrors, probably the tail lights because they're both good, and possibly the front turn signals. I could get the engine for $150 whole and the trans for $75 if its worth it, not sure if there is demand or even what the value is for the 95hp lump

Blaupunkt radios always fetch a good price if the car still has it.

Ha ha, I once found a 924 in a pick and pull yard. I thought I hit a home run because I saw what a 944 manual steering set up went for on eBay. I got under the 924 and struck out. 924 racks are different than 944 racks
