Take any good plastic interior pieces, especially the dash and crash pad. Our friends in the sun belt may have the rust free cars but the UV rays turn the plastic interior trim in them to dust. You may be able to sell the parts and make a few bucks besides what you need for your own car. If the door is any good take it too. If it is a drivers door and to badly rusted, see if the window regulator works, that is the one that always goes bad along with the latch mechanism.
