Huw's right. The price of scrap is up and shipping to Asia is nearly  
free considering the number of ships and trucks heading back west  
empty after unloading their goods for Wal-Mart etc. I'm going to  
spend tomorrow stripping a '90 100 that was minutes away from getting  
dropped via crane into the back of a semi trailer with a bunch of  
other scrap cars. Keep in mind that this thing had a perfect  
interior, straight body and good engine. Like the rest of it's kind,  
the team doorhandle special 3 speed auto tranny gave up and the car  
was junked.

What parts are needed?
