Default Ford Ka

Hi Every body,
I have a Ford Ka in my garden. There are some repairs to do on the steering, it is no longer registered, and if I wanted to put it again on the road, I would need a new MOT. As there are other small things to fix before, well, the expenses will be over the worth of the car, so want to sell it for parts. And honestly, you don't want to drive a Ka on the snowy road in the winter in Sweden, so I will not miss it !
I'm building a Sierra based roadster, and I haven't got the donor car yet.
The engine of the Ka is very good, as well as a lot of other elements, so I was wondering if there is anything I can use from this car for the roadster, or I just take it to the junk yard ? I know the FWD/RWD problem, the engine is a small Kent based not very powerful one, but if anyone has an idea or an experience, all comments are welcome.
Thank you very much.

i owned one for about 3 months so i would just scrap it !

but there might be parts suitable to use on your build im using allsorts on my car or break it and sell it to buy bits if you have space

in fact id hoard it and build an off road buggy out of it or something or some nice furniture

front end would make a nice bbq

the possibilities are endless sorry its not a direct answer
