W123 280TE Euro Green/Green- Parting out

I have, what was once a really cool car, that i am parting out. 1979 280TE wagon, euro spec. M110, auto trans, no sunroof, manual windows, manual climate control. Looks like it was originally Nickel Green over green velour, but someone resprayed it cypress green at some point. Story is, the car was running and driving, and the owner parked it in his shop to begin restoring it due to rust, and never touched the first bolt on it. It sat for ~15 years in a shop. I would have saved it, but the rust is unbelievable. Rockers, floors, even the front and rear windshield channels all the way up to the top. Most of the suspension can be seen from sitting in the driver seat. I can push the windshield out without even tampering with the seal due to how weak the metal flange is

Anyways, pictures below, although i apologize, a lot of the "desirable" parts that can be seen are gone. Here's what i can think of that i have sold

-Wheels/Hubcaps
-Euro bumpers (Still have the rubbers for the front bumper)
-Factory euro hitch
-Both taillights
-Green third row
-Becker radio
-A/C & Fuel lines

And i may be missing a few things.

The headliner is pretty nice other than a tear at the back which can barely be seen in one pic. The door cards aren't in the best of shape (Faded) but the rear green ashtrays are great. All glass is good other than the front windshield. The whole m110/trans is available, it does turn over but other than that the condition is unknown. Odometer says ~180k, but we all know how erratic these are.

Feel free to ask any questions and availability of certain parts, i've got some down time on my hands at the moment so i should be able to ship parts pretty rapidly. Located in Northeast Louisiana

Thanks!
