Discovered an 81 240D in a local yard last weekend and manged to get down there this morning. For just under 50 bucks I managed to pick up...

Drivers interior door opening lever (mine works but the pot metal had broken so the lever is hanging down)
Glove compartment lid.
Drivers seat center armrest.
Antenna switch.
Passenger side manual mirror.
Drivers footwell carpet. Mine is missing and I just have a floor mat in there now. I'll have to clean this one the same as I did with my other carpets but it'll be like new when it's done

More along the lines of what I was thinking as well.

That`s a good start, when ya going back for the rest of the parts?

The rear door interior door opening lever on the same side is the same for the front doors.

The manual right door Mirror is a rare find.

How were the Door checks? those are often over looked.
The Blowers are usually good, as is the blower switch.

I grabbed a Blower switch a few days ago, mine is kaput.
They use to be available on line not too long ago.
