Tearing apart GXL, what to keep?

Hey guys. I have an 87 GXL sitting in my buddies mom's driveway, and well, it's overstayed its welcome. Now i figured that it would probably be more practical for me to tear it apart rather than try to sell it for a measly amount of money. Here's my list on what i plan on keeping, just in case my TII might need it. I was wondering what else you guys would suggest on top of what i have, or not.

Wheels, Hubs, brake calipers
Rear axles
Engine and tranny (Internal parts could come in handy)
Various internal trim pieces
ECU
Hood
Sunroof
Headlight motors
Spare tire
Logicon and various switches in the cabin
Exhaust from the cat-back

Anything else you guys might suggest?

power window motors & switches

coils

front windshield wiper motor

gauge cluster from dash

fuel pump

t-junction where the brake line from the proportioning vavle reaches the rear end (the 't' sending one line out to each rear caliper)

brake master cylinder, proportioning valve and booster (maybe not the booster - never heard of one failing)

MAP sensor

AFM

rad if it's aluminum

master fuse rail in engine bay

pull (and label!) all wiring harnesses if you can - someone's always looking for one...

fuel door lock release mechanism (but not the switch at the seat or the line running from it)

dashboard vent grills (the ones meant to blow at the door windows) if they're undamaged

bolts that hold the seats to the floor


That's all I can think of for now...

Thanks amur. Good ideas.
Offhand, does anyone know the size of the rear axle nuts?
