    I will take the passangers side rear door mould if you can get it off without breaking anything.


    Things worthy of taking are crome door handles, strip whole motor down. Series 2 block???

    get anything that you may need to change pretty much, get the diff, the motor, the box, pre much every pump, bumpers, door fittings, just think of what you may have to replace on your car later on
