What toys, er, tools, do I need to part this car?
I paid for and signed the DMV transfer today for my 84 Euro S, and I have about a week to decide if I want to make a deal with a local shop to pull the motor and other parts I want in exchange for the rest of the car, or do I bring it home and have some fun taking it apart. The latter option means somebody needs to want some parts, and I need to buy some more tools.
Jack and jack stands, or two post lift, is my first question. **joking** What I have now are typical computer guy tools, a couple cheap socket sets, lots of screw drivers, a cheesy air compressor with a separate 5 gal tank, a blow off tool and a 3/8" air ratchet, and a set of US and metric wrenches. Hitting a few of the local tool rich swapmeets and Harbor Freight are a couple sources I have in mind. Any suggestions?

completely dismantling a car is a PITA! let em have the car in exchange for some of the work, less hassle/time/expense

At some point it will go to recycle or a real dismantler, what I am working out is how much will I do, and how much will I leave. I might focus on doing all the stuff I can easily get to without a lift myself, or I might say screw it and buy a two post lift, and see what sort of fun I have been missing.
Looking at the car I get a real itch to take it apart, like a kid in a toy store, I want this, and this, and ... What I bought it for was the motor to go in my 83, which way I go on that may decide a lot of the rest. When its not fun anymore I just call for a flat bed.
