What to salvage from my '87 D300 Parts Car

A couple of years ago, I bought a 1987 D300 as a parts car for my 300TDT. I used the front end parts after I had a little mishap, then have picked bit and pieces over the years. Well, now I am ready for it to go to the recyclers and I've pulled...

*The motor & trans. (oil coolers, etc.)
*Steering box.
*Wheels, brakes.
*Electrical relays, "black boxes", antenna, window switches.
*Fan.
*Wiper motor, washer fluid tank.

What else should I grab (for spares or to sell)?

Should I also grab the EDU? How about the the ABS box?

Any other suggestions... I'd love to hear them.

Front window regulators if in good shape,
Sunroof track / "slide angles" if in good shape,
Climate control pushbutton unit (guess this is a black box),
Differential?

You might be able to sell the exterior lights.

Every good part.

If you know the ratio of the differential, and if it's above 3:27, I know a guy in Sinissippi that races a 300e on the frozen lake. He's looking for some higher ratio diff's

diff is 2.65

I'm currently parting my 93D, and it's nearly bare... I removed the entire interior... to the firewall. EVERY PART IS USEFUL!!
I pulled the entire sunroof assembly, the cable, and the motor. pulled every vacuum lock assembly.
pulled the radio harness, and antenna motor. pulled the amplifier and assorted goodies.
pulled the windshield wiper assembly, and the blower. pulled the evaporator assembly all the hoses and fittings from the interior locking system. pulled the central lock pump.
I'm sure there is more. it's time consuming.
