Icon2 Want advice on Parting/Cutting up a Del Sol

I am pulling all of the useful parts off of a damaged '93 Del Sol. When I am done It will be a chassis without wheels that I can either put on a trailer and sell for about $100 of scrap metal or Cut up into useful(?) sections that I can sell later. I don't have room to keep the whole car any more - too many others.

My question is: Is there any market or good use for cut up frame/body parts? If there is, I am cutting it up with a heavy duty Sawzall, any advice on what parts or where to cut?

I assume that cutting at or near seams is best. Rear quarter? rockers? Damage is to belly and one rear quarter. NOT selling anything at this time.

Thanks.

Its not worth the time and effort to try and sell cut sections....more often than not if a car is hit that bad owner junks it or cuts out exactly what they need themselves. If the rear 1/4's are good and no rust i save those thats it.....also cut the core support out its worth about $80

Thanks for the reply. I'll have a good right rear 1/4 and the core then. I'll probably post that and a pile of parts in the classified section in a few weeks. I currently have 5 Del Sols in various condition and I'm making three good ones.
