    Stripping an AWD Protege, what to keep

    I just picked up nerd racing's awd protege with the intention of stripping all the awd related parts, but i don't want to miss anything that could be useful later on, so i know the obvious stuff the keep

    trans, rear sub-frame, driveshaft, axles, front knuckles, shifter cables, gas tank, e-brake cables, i even plan on cutting the tunnel out of the floor to weld into my car when i do the awd conversion

    I don't think i will be using the front knuckles but i know they are awd specific so they will be salvaged (someone already has dibs on them though) but is the steering rack different then FWD ones? aside from being mounted higher up on the firewall

    is there anything i haven't mentioned that i may want to keep before the shell goes to the boneyard?

    If no one from the future stops you from doing it, how bad of a decision can it really be?

        you might want to keep the section of floor over the tank, its AWD specific too.

            I may need a gas tank, if it doesn't fit the Festy.

              I don't plan on re-using the gas tank (but i'll be sure to pull it so it gets saved) since i would just modify the festiva tank, or switch to a fuel cell

                      GTC? details? what is the capacity of that tank and could you get some rough dimensions and pics? I'm still looking into tank options for the festy swap.

                        I would save the fuel tank, I used a 10 gal fuel cell in my AWD swap and wish I would have saved the Pro gas tank :/ my AWD Pro had blue interior. The diff locking system might be something you want to save. Another thing I wish I had saved that I did not.

                              Save the driveline. Mine didn't come with a driveline, and it was hard to track one down, luckily I got my hands on a gtr one.
