Recommend What Last Minute Parts To Get Before Junkyard

My 94 GXE parts car will be almost ready to send to the junk yard. Once I take out the engine, I'm good to send it off. I've already removed my fuel pump as it's a few yrs old only, and I removed the rear calipers.

If anyone thinks there are relatively expensive or hard to get replacement parts in the cabin or doors, that I should remove now, please let me know which ones to get. Engine bay will be stripped empty.

Note that the replacement Maxima is a 92 GXE Brougham. I'm already aware thanks to Hectic, that the fuel sending unit is not the same as the 94 GXE analog instrument panel model. I'm removing the analog display in the parts car because those digital ones burn out supposedly.

There's really no way to know what you should keep until you need it or unless you know something is newer or in good shape. I say keep the whole car and use it for parts if that's a possibility. Otherwise, I wouldn't bother keeping anything (large) that you don't know you'll need, since it will clutter up your garage

Id keep the window regulators, theres no telling when they will go out. Possibly take the fuses out of the fuse box. Mainly the 10amp and 15amps usually blow out every once in a while.

regulators
antenna mast if it's good
muffler bearings
radiator if it's good.
Window switches
turn signal stalk
mud flaps

idk what you consider "engine," but alternator and starter, nice to have working spares until you can get a reman/new replacement.

wouldn't bother with bulbs and fuses, new ones are cheap.

anything else, post up on craigslist or whatever that you're parting out, they pull they pay. make a few cents off parts before you haul it over the scales.

Clutter? Oh my, there are Sooooo many ways around that!


And this is only about 75% that you can see! Yeah, and this image is about 1.5 years old. MUCH more now! Like my 260z project (all I'm saying!)
