I raided a local wreckyard a couple days ago. There was only an old CA5 hatch there. I grabbed multiple screws, the oil cap, the remaining switches (demister, headlights and dimmer) as well as a dash mat (to suit blue interior - I'll dye it or something to suit mine), fuse box lid (no sticker), heater hose and the exhaust manifold cover (which turned out not to fit). I also got some parkers. One of them was in bad condition (as in faded) and I thought it would be alright but when I got home they looked terrible. I'll just save them as spares and buy some JDM ones after I pass inspection.
Here's a picture of the stuff I bought :
I also put the car up on 4 jack stands so I could get a better look at everything. It all looks okay, brakes will need replacing, calipers need a respray. There is however some damage to the chassis where it looks like someone has tried to jack it up from there. Here's a picture. My dad seems to think we can drop it off to someone and it'll be as simple as welding an L piece there. Unfortunately, this is a MUST fix before inspection, otherwise it will not pass.
And the brakes :

Apart from that I've dropped the coolant, found a few replacement bolts for rusted ones, I've managed to take off the bumper, pull apart the thermostat housing. So yeah, moving a long slowly. Still a bit of work to do.
