Not all of it yet, but a fair bit has gone.
Interior wise I've sold the dash, radio surround, heater controls, hazard switch, seat belt stalks, drivers seat belt, seats, runners, one door pull/handle, style bar, chrome vent rings, cluster cowl, floor console, gear knob, ashtray, window switches, sill plates, and floor mats. Still got all the carpets, door cards, and some bits of plastic trim. I'm sure they'll go eventually though!
None of it went for much, but it soon mounts up.
So far I've got about £410 back from the donor after postage and ebay/paypal fees. Another £90 and I'll break even

Noooo, I don't need any more competition

I stuck most things on a 30-day buy-it-now listing, with the price set slightly cheaper than similar items.
I kept the listings nice and simple, as it's a pain in the ar5e entering them all.
Here's one of mine
I had things flying out of the door every day for the first couple of weeks, but it's slowed down now I only have the less sought after stuff left.

Well I didn't make it to Stoneleigh, but I did get a fair bit of garage time over the long weekend.
The donor's now stripped of everything I need and anything worth selling and is ready to be scrapped.
Also made some good progress on the rear end

Thanks James
Not looking as good as yours, can't wait to get mine off the table and on it's wheels too. Got a little bit to do first though...

I pretty much finished the rear end this weekend. Just need to add the wishbone mounts and tank support plates, then I should be ready to fully weld the chassis. I'm not sure whether I'm looking forward to, or dreading that much welding!

Got rid of the donor chassis today, which I'm very happy about, not nearly as happy as my neighbours are though
