W123 parts anyone?

If I had the opportunity to purchase a 1981 parts car, 4 door sedan for parts minus powertrain would anyone be interested in parts? 1981 300D in palomino. Good glass and body from the front doors to the rear. Hit it front.

Arrow I could use a couple of items.....

First Aid Kit....if the cover is "Palomino" and unbroken....

Right Front Door Sill Plate......"Palomino"

And the device that mounts just to the right of the windshield....kinds like a "drain gutter" and trim piece for the passenger side of the windshield.....

And what in condition is the Rear Carpet??

This might be my lucky day. Since the car was damaged forward. I need the lower ten inches of both front fenders just ahead of the front doors. They would provide patch panels for one of my cars where the rest of the fenders are okay. Any chance and price if available?
Pm me if you wish and no rush. At least this way no good fenders are sacrificed to obtain a couple of patch panels.
Too expensive to ship whole used fenders from the south to here as well. Even if only one patch piece was available it would be a help.
I could also use a very small portion of floor as well. Small so easily mailed as well. Maybe one foot by two feet in dimension. There would no doubt be other things as well if you got the car and where interested.

Ill tell you what I'll do, go to the car and post pics and we can go from there! I will only get this thing if I can strip it out as quickly as possible. I don't want to keep it around for long, OK?

This time of year combined with your non rustbelt climate should mean the parts will move fast. Make sure to question the owner about what has been replaced that he is aware of. Plus his impressions of the engine and transmission condition. Good used transmissions and engines are getting harder to find in some areas.
Any parts he has changed out should move very fast. You may not get rich but it should be quite the experience. There are a lot of us 123 owners out there. Plus it is a given that most of us are always looking for something.

NO ENGINE OR TRANSMISSION! BODY ONLY WITH REAR END AND SUSPENSION. RUST FREE ARIZONA CAR! Not shouting using caps, but I don't want to mislead anyone.

Sorry, did not mentally record that there was no engine or transmission. Still amazing how much detail stuff guys out there want. They also seem to like purchasing from a site member.
You will not be the first and have watched a few others do this. If my location was not so difficult and less salt laden I would do one just for the experience. After serving site members needs ebay would probably move a lot of parts as well.
