parts to salvage - 1995 850

Post by petere »

Hi all, I am in the process of keeping my 1994 turbo wagon on the road, for the most part successfully. I have in my possession a 95 non-turbo sedan that is mouldering in a nearby field. I need to get rid of it, but before I do, I'd like to salvage some parts from it. Are there any suggestions as to which parts are hardest to find / replace that would make sense to harvest before the wrecker comes?

honestly, try to get EVERYTHING that you can easily pull and store somewhere. Most interior parts are long gone, alot of the trim as well. Keep body panels, plastic clips, whatever can be easily removed. I have a 94 854 stuffed full with parts from a 92 854 and more in my attic, just because I hope by owning these parts I don't need them. Once in a while I need parts from.my stash, even though I prefer to buy wear items new if I can.
