I have a 320/6 auto parts car which has been donating some parts to my Baur. I believe it's an '82 model.

It was a runner when it was parked up but it's terminally rusty now (at least it looks it to me). It is still in mostly one piece & I was wondering what rare/unobtainable & even valuble parts I should liberate before it goes to the crusher.

• Still has the carb which may or may not be the 4 barrel Solex
  Still has the diff
  I believe one fuel tank was replaced before lay up
  Dash is uncracked
  Original prehistoric Blaupunct radio!
  Dark blue "fabric centre" door trims - undamaged
  Colour coded rear spoiler (not sure of the type)

Anything else worth saving?

get the whole front and rear panel and the windscreen corners and the A pillars, thats if they havent turned to dust.

I know the front panel unbolts but the rest is going to need an angle grinder! I wasn't looking to go that far

Rear light units, trim strips, dash clocks, alternator, starter motor, radiator (do autos have an oil cooler?)

Would be hard to get out but diff, gearbox?

I stripped an e21 in one day

Cutting stuff with an angle grinder is fun!!!

Not as much fun as doing it with a plasma cutter

Adding to your list

Tanks (go for a lot these days)
Diff
Rear trailing arms (drums can be used on 2002s I believe)
Front subframe and Engine arms and mounts (for people doing 6cyl conversions on 4 cyl cars)

get the glass out as well. it takes litterally seconds and could save the life of someone one day.
