What To Do, What To Do? Given extra w123 240D parts

Someone gave me an engine for a w123 240D. It is attached to a 4-speed manual tranny. The engine and tranny have 193k on them. They also gave me all four original aluminum wheels with low mileage tires and the original hubcaps. The original spare on aluminum wheel was included. They included the steering gearbox and numerous other parts.

Now I need to figure out what to do with all of this. I guess I will hang on to most of it as spares for my 240D. Any suggestions?

Kevin
