One week after recovery of my estate i've decided I want to reclaim the second spot on my driveway, god i'm impatient!

I'm now trying to build a list of spare parts to keep/ebay (this is not an advert mods!), what would you keep?

So far I have planned:

ABS ECU (already used!)
The month old struts/droplinks/handbrake shoes and cable
Cats
Headlights + level sensors
Plenum (can keep a clean one for easy swap outs!)
Headlight washers
Cam covers
Central locking solenoids
Window motors
Manifolds (I have a tick sound when cold)

Parts I think not worth keeping
Heads (must be warped the way it boiled)
Interior (basket case)
Bumpers/body panels (not bad nick but not in high demand, take too much space)

Anything else that might be useful?

Rear window (Heater elements get damaged sometimes with large things bouncing around in the back).
Wiper stalk and relay (Tailgate!)
Rear Wiper motor.
Rear tailgate door shook stay up things, or what ever there called (they sometimes pack up in -0 degree weather).
Tail gate spoiler, if you can get it off, or Tail gate door shell.
Roof Rails and Head lining (Ex Plod dont have rails and lining is full of holes, so nice retro fit for someone).
Bose system if fitted complete ( the rear Sub box is quiet rare, seen them go on ebay.de for silly money).
Rear Load cover, plus the fitted runners and those two plastic things that you need to remove and lose.
Mirrors x 3.
Rear Spare wheel hatch plastic lock bit (they break).
Doors maybe, rear doors Glass and frames ?
the rest depends how far you want to go!

Just stripped my old estate down to bare metal. Nothing teaches you how they go together better than taking them apart. I'm keeping probably too many parts but I hate throwing away useful parts.

I'm keeping probably too many parts but I hate throwing away useful parts.

This part scares me, the last car I fully scrapped was a MK1 Granada 20 years ago and odd parts still keep cropping up
