What should I take?

I found a wrecked fc near me, no motor or transmision, but every other mechanical part is there.
Talked to the owner and he is willing to part it before scraping it.
I have an 83 gsl. in running condition (for now).

My question to you guys is what should i take?
What parts from FCs are usable in FBs?

p.s. I searched before posting ^^.

Some guys have put fc seats in their fbs. I don't know which mounting brackets were used. Other than that, I really don't know if anything else fits.

The red pill.





Leading coil, front spindles, rear brakes, etc.

EDIT: Front spindles/brakes etc would need the help of Respeed.

FC seats are a bolt in using the FB seat rails. Take the under hood fuse box, cut the wire tails as long as you can. Makes a great replacement for the fusible links and has extra fuses to simplify wiring in other aftermarket electronics. Some swap the FC radiator, but that takes a bit of modding since it's taller and needs installed at an angle. Take the front mount oil cooler, lines and oil filter base. I have a writeup in the archives on how to do the install. Since the engine is gone, you can use the oil filter base of of any pre 3rd gen that had an fmoc.

If the FC was a TII, the driveshaft, halfshafts, rear diff mount and diff all sell fairly easily. Same thing for the front hubs, rear calipers and front calipers if they have 4 pistons. Those parts are also needed for doing ReSpeed's big brake swap.
