Very sorry to hear that it's been written off but the parts you remove will help you and others keep their cars on the road.

There's lots of little plastic clips which are very hard to get hold so worth keeping/selling, the rear parcel shelf clips are a good example.

Good call cheers - so far I'm keeping the gearbox, carb, wing mirrors, interior mirror, alloys, head unit, boot carpet, parcel shelf, exhaust.

Anybody want anything else?

Keep all of the front end if you can lights, grill, indicators, bonnet, bumper + trim, fogs, wings. These bits are always needed oh and the interior if its in decent condition.

With the interior it's tricky getting hold of the red scala cloth so if you don't have room to store or some one does not want your complete interior you can dismantle the seats quite easily to store/sell the cloth, seat foam and metal bases etc are worth some thing as the passenger seat foam can be used to repair a drivers seat with a worn bolster.

Would it be too much to ask if you could chop out the fuse box bracket and a little slurpy ding metal?
