Parts car - what should I keep? Anyone want an engine?

I've recently picked up an '86 240 wagon parts car. The only issue is
that I pay $40/month to park it. What I'd like to do is strip it and
then have it towed away for scrap. I've already removed most of the
trim items, the mirrors, the lights, the seats, and the stereo. I'm
going to take the carpet (good shape), the blower motor, the heater
core, and (hopefully) the wheels with their newish tires. What other
parts should I consider removing that would be worth the hassle and
might still be usable on my '88 240?

Also, does anyone know a good scrap car removal company in the Toronto
area who will take this beast in it's naked state, with possibly no
wheels as well? The engine is actually quite good (anyone interested?)
and the tranny worked well too. The problem with the car was RUST...
the entire floor was rusted out (but for some reason the carpet
survived!).

Thanks,
Clayton.

ps. I'm in the Toronto area if anyone is interested in a B230F Engine
with M46 4 speed + OD. I'm not sure the mileage but can find out if
you're interested (its parked about a 10 min drive my house). Let me
know... [email protected].
 
Pull the following...

Instrument cluster

Wiper and turn signal stalks

shift handle assembly

all relays and fuses

door lock mechanism

front and rear light assemblies

in tank pump assembly

fuel pump assembly

windshield wiper motor and wiper arms

sunroof handle
 
I would take the
Fuel Pressure Regulator
Fuel rail (There is a nice home made pressure tester made from these
on the Brickroad)
Oil fill cap if its the metal kind ( also a pressure tester for
crankase ventilation-Brickroad)
Stereo for the OEM connectors when CD player goes in. Just attach to
new wires & plug in
The little square plastic grommet that holds the fuse cover on, just
pops out, don't drop it
Center console
If you can get the windshield out and can store it, its worth the
price of a removal tool to do it
If it has the bracket for mounting belt accessories w/out the AC take
it
Ign Control Module from under the hood, can always try to sell it on E-
Bay
AMM
Sunviser clips if not broken
