1982 E21 320i - Parting out, what should I keep?

[Obliveus]

Other than the 5spd/bits and reacro seats is there anything elseI should grab? I'm currently restoring a stock 76 2002 that has the E21 head. Not sure the 1.8 head is any better. LKM what you think. Thanks

LOL thats nearly the whole car

[halboyles]

Yeah,  except the uni-body, though it does make a nice garden planter when inverted.

[Obliveus]

Oh my! I just might be able to sell that to the wife.

What's the benefit of the door catches?

[halboyles]

Stronger design.

I'm almost afraid to ask for the long list...

[Simeon]

The long list includes all of that lovely metric hardware / fasteners. Copper wiring from the harness. Pieces cut from the body for patch panels?

 

you can use a car 'nose to tail' if you have enough time to figure out the uses.

...and sell things like taillights- they're getting hard to find!

Can I have your rearview mirror if its in good condition?

For an 02? as mentioned, seats, trans, diff, rad.  Pretty much any nut and bolt.  Also, as mentioned for sale---relays, turn signal stalks, any lens', trim, anything that's specific to an E21 that you can't get anymore.
