Retiring my 81 300TD

So it is with heavy heart that I have decided it is time to take my 81 off the road for good. Damn the DOT and the Salt Lobby (i'm guessing there is one).
Just too much rot to be safe. No panels are spared...

My plan is to take every last bit off this car that I can, save what I may need for my '85, and pass on the rest to other owners. I plan to start with all suspension parts. Elevate it onto some stout and excellent blocking. Next remove engine and tranny, etc. And finally get inside and remove everything. And I mean everything.

Then I am assuming I can get a scrap company to come and pick up the hulk.

I would love to hear from anyone that has done this. Any tips I need to know? Is it worth taking EVERYTHING (springs, etc?).
Am I going to be able to find a company that will get it on a truck without any mobility whatsoever?

Thanks -John
