Where are you going to keep the car while you strip it? If outside, will the neighbors complain about it? Will people stop by at midnight for a "5 fingered discount"? If you keep it inside, will it mean a family member's car sits outside?

Tom's advice about buying at engine + trans cost is sound. However, other part's prices have to be priced competitively and leave you with money in your pocket after paying for shipping. I have some lower control arms I haven't been able to sell for $40, when it will cost me $25 to ship somewhere. And you may go long stretches between sales. How will your neighbors or family go for having that car around for several yrs?
