1998 Impreza wagon (manual). Engine is gone. Have a few guys taking the major bits off it, but I'm looking for a few things that may be useful. Grabbed the tape deck and speakers to build Murilee's Turbo II junkyard boombox, got the accelerator and fuses, grabbed the instrument cluster... what other odds and ends would be useful for other projects?

Everything you possibly can. You never know when you are going to need parts, just take them all.

It's a rare opportunity (at least for me) to find a suitable parts car.

I know stripping sounds glamorous, and you'll probably end up making a lot of money in the short term. But in the end, it will lead to nothing but an endless cycle of shame, booze, and broken dreams.

Tons and tons of metric fasteners! Everything on a Subaru is 10mm, 12mm, 14mm or 17mm, with only a few exceptions.

Never hurts to have some extra sheet metal or fasteners laying around for projects. Keep the seats and good trim pieces, you can probably fetch a few bucks or make some rec room furniture.

depends how much storage you have, selling side glass can be easy, as others have mentioned bolts/fasteners and wheels, seats are pretty interchangeable between models so easy to sell, airbags go fast as people who cause accidents dont want to pay their insurance

Clutch gear. You never know when you might find another semi-compatible scooby that's perfect in every way except for being auto.

Don't forget to pry off those cool Pleiades emblems! Subaru's logo is the best.

Not sure on Subies, but on most vehicles glass and door panels are usually good return for relatively little effort, though storage might be a pain. This assumes they're straight, rust-free, and the glass is unbroken.

Neighbor is getting the shell. Shell sucks anyway.

Better believe I scraped off the tail gate letters to do this.

This is the U.P. Every nut and bolt is rusted all to hell.

There is actually an answer to that; Fuji Heavy Industries was formed by the merger of five companies. The five little stars represent the five original companies, and the big star stands for the one company formed by their merger.

I don't like your answer. There are precisely 0 dragons mentioned in it.
