Whats worth parting?

So last night i was going turning right at a intersection, like was solid green its safe to go, so i go thru as soon as i get thru it a speeding car rips around the corner totally ignoring the yield sign and kinda t-bones me, so im side ways going for the side of the road at about 60km/h so like what 35mph? and straight into a tree, cars a total write off the front bumper is almost equal with the windshield passanger side of the car is totally done, frames twisted everything in the engine bay is done... what can i talk off thats worth anything in the interrior or rear end?

Re: Whats worth parting?

interior, any straight panels, drivetrain, any aftermarket chassis parts, you just never know what someone will need,

torque arm, driveshaft, crossmember, control arms, just never know
if you have an old shed or barn or something somewhere to store then save it all

let it get old
if its not worth much right now then it will be eventually



etc

I'm not sure what options your car has, but here's some possibilities . . .
- wheels
- t-top glass (or lexan)
- tailights
- rear glass
- rear hatch pulldown mechanism
- the whole rear end, especially if it has disk brakes (people always looking to convert their drums)
- tranny
- stereo and speakers
- console and/or the console lid
- rear seats (front if still ok)
- rear storage area cover
- spare & jack

Some pictures, if you have then, would be helpful to determine what would be salvagable and what isn't. If the bumper is pretty close to the passenger side of the windshield it doesn't sound like much would be salvagable. The rear end might be but without seeing pictures couldn't tell for sure.
