if he only wants the body and frame i say strip everything else from it that you can. never know when you might need them extra parts.
Are you just gonna lay there and bleed or are you gonna cowboy up?

Ya that's my problem I live in a rental and I don't have much of a storage area to keep a bunch of stuff. I am taking all the glass, the heater core is about 2 months old so I'm snagging that. but I'm not sure what else I may need in the future that is hard to find.

Alternator,Starter, I always think of the little stuff that goes out when you don't expect it and then you have to go to a parts store and get a new one if nothing else you can always use them for core charges so you don't have to have yours off before you can get a new one. Light bulbs is also good to keep in stock and don't take much space to keep. Even cut some of the plugs like tail light sockets never kow when you need one.
