parting out is so much effort.
it might be worth more on paper in parts... but it probably pays you $.25/hour for your labour and some things could take 12 months to sell.

I wish I had some extra $ right now..
I'd buy it from you, and I'd tow over to OK from southeast colorado to get it even.

Always worth more in parts. Ask any junk yard:) I am just guessing, but I think
if you where to try make a new car going buying everything through the
parts counter at you local dealer it could cost 100X more than if you just
bought the car all put together and running.

Like the other person said, what is your time worth? How long do you want to sit on some parts?

I met a laid off X-It person who started doing this on the side. We was lucky to live in the sticks where his neighbors did not mind.

You have the right car to part out. There is a whole message board dedicated to it. I would not want to try and part datsun b210.
