what parts to scab off of 93 965 as it heads to the scrapper? 900

I'm throwing in the towel. My beloved Black Bomber needs a rear main seal, cam seals and probably an exhaust system in the next few months. I can't justify the expenditures on a car that may have some other large failure due to age. So, I am looking to keep some parts, for use in my 1997 965 and possibly for use in another Gen I 965 that I am eyeing on Craigslist.

Of course, the thought in the back of my brain is that I will not be able to part with this car that has treated me quite well over the last two years. This auto is a tank and there is not a small amount of wincing at not witnessing the car hit its 250k mark. But, right now, it's an enviro disaster by leaking oil and I can't drive it in good conscience.

I have some space issues, so I will not be saving much in the way of interior, although I do have an extra set of front seats already (black leather not matching my 97's tan leather, sadly, as they are better seats)

My first thought on what to scab are the following, please add to my list: MAF, fuel injectors, radiator, fan, and some tubing. Maybe the third seat, but I doubt I'll get around to installing it in the other car.
