Default What to keep from donor car

pretty new here. Hey all. So I DD a 2003 V70 base 5spd and I cracked up the two driver doors. I located a high mileage T5 donor car, same color, and swapped the doors over. I also swapped over the hood (mine had a nasty, cracked clear-bra) and the rear sway-bar assembly. I swapped wheels, giving it my 16"s for the 17"s that came on the T5. The last thing I can think to salvage is the exhaust; my car spent most of its life in Massachusetts, and the heat-shield and sound insulation is in real bad shape on top of the muffler, and the rear hanger is rusted. I'm using a SS zip-tie to hold up the rear portion of the exhaust until I have to replace the thing.


AAAANYWAY, besides the exhaust system from the donor car (NC vehicle, no rust), what else should I take from the car. Catalytic is clogged, so that'll be removed when I pull the exhaust. I already have a tentative buyer lined up who wants the car for the engine, and he'll assumedly take it to the boneyard when he gets the engine out. Interior is worn out and smelly, suspension is blown out, radio doesn't work, but it does have the 3rd row seating, which I don't want to install, but I suppose I could sell. Anything come to mind that I should rip off and save?


Thanks!


Erik
