depends on the cars really, and whether or not you want to try to grab stuff to sell to other members. plus your location matters too for quality of parts (sitting in what kind of weather) plus if you want to part stuff out, where are you shipping from? no one is gonna buy from alaska.

that said, i'd look for anything euro first. lights, headlight wiper sets, fire extinguishers, brackets, etc. etc. then i'd look for any interesting or weird options. any of them have rear headrests? pull all the items for the rear headrest kit. hubcaps and clips, if not the wheels, are usually good to grab and sell.

other than that, ask daw_two, he's a parts puller pro.

Now the problem is he can not sell complete cars (part of a contract he is under) and I really dont have time to pull motors etc. Already got glow plug controlers, all interior I could need, outside trim, gauge clusters, hood stars. Seats are all in very poor condition, they have been setting for a long time. Last thing he plans on being done with cleanup by friday july 17 at the latest and they will be crushed by then.

If it where you what would you grab, I have 76 240D, 81 240D, 81 300sd, 82 and 83 sd, 85 300D, ? thanks for input
