just keep the engine and if its a manual so much the better!,
those engines are indestructible.. plus that engine probably weighs the same (or maybe less) than the sierra boat anchor...
u just need the running gear from the sierra anyway...

well, if you've got space to strip it and keep bits, keep the running gear, engine gearbox axle, maybe the front suspension, and sell them on ebay?

like i said, if you've got space to keep stuff, get as much as you can. interior if its good, lights, mirrors, doors etc. people would buy those i'd say

EVery bolt and interior piece of scrap you can - even the gear and handbrake surround and handle. Seat runners, seat belts etc etc.These little bits come in handy.

Why not put the mechanics in a ladder frame. Would be a decent autobahnrenner.
