Parts off a TC

Well i think i found a TC that i can get parts from at a JY that is owned by a friend of my dad. Well i want to get parts from it cause there arent many around and it is black so i dont have to paint any of the panels. There are no doors so i cant get those but here is the list of things i want to get from it:
Front bumper cover
hood
fenders (if not rusted out)
trunk lid
Rear bumper cover
rear axle
Tail lights
maybe the header panel and all the front lights

Anybody think of anything i left out?
I gotta get up there soon hopefully i can get some money before he gets rid of it.
BTW i have an 88 sport coupe with a H/O swap
Thanks
Andrew

Front brakes and spindles. Sway bars front & rear (I know your Sport already has big sway bars, but the TC ones are worth getting anyway). Instrument cluster. Console, Seats. (again, your Sport would have all of these, but they're worth getting for spares or to resell).

If you're getting the front bumper cover, be sure to get the headlight switch panel with the factory fog light switch.

Remember, most parts for these cars are discontinued and they're becoming more difficult to find in junkyards, so basically, grab anything that will fit your car if you have the room to store it...

Me and 8birdy8 (Jim) would take that car down to the last screw and fuse, and we would keep those too!

Thanks,  I forgot about the brakes, spindles, and swaybars. I might see if i can just give him a set amount and strip the whole car. he is one of my dads friends and he has given my dad stuff for free before so i think if i had the right amount of $$ he would do it. now i just gotta get the $$ and get up there before its gone.
