If it were me (and I had a little room) I'd strip the entire shell down and keep everything I could. Or list stuff on eBay. People are
always looking for things like steel-wheel axles to convert a WW car, used shocks to be rebuilt, etc. Or maybe just put the hulk
on eBay or craigslist.

'lo all,

I'm scavenging my dad's mostly mechanically sound, but sad looking '78  
MGB for a collection of parts for my '75.  When I'm done, it goes off  
to the crusher.

The engine and transmission were rebuilt about 12 years back.  I want  
the engine, but the tranny is a non-OD, so while I will be keeping it  
around, if somebody has a need for the later non-OD tranny with pretty  
new guts, let me know.

Right now, all I know for sure that I want from this car are:
  the engine
  the brake and clutch master cylinders and booster assembly
  2 steel wheels
  "good" electrical components (heater fan, various relays)
  shiny bits such as mirrors and lights
  if in good condition, the bumper assemblies
  if not warped, the boot lid

So, 2 questions:
  Are any other parts that I should be considering that are valuable  
on my '75?

  Once my own needs are covered, would anybody else like to pick away  
at this car?  It's located in Elma Washington, about 30 miles west of  
Olympia.
