Hey guys,

I have an old car sitting in my yard that I will soon dispose of, but before I do I want to harvest any useful motors etc. that I can use in my future robot projects.

I plan on harvesting the following:

power window motors
windscreen wiper motors
starter motor
battery

... can you think of any other useful parts I can grab before I send the car off to the wreckers?

panel switches and lamps off the dash
fuses
light globes ( head, tail, reversing and turn)
maybe cut out some clean chunks of cable loom, great for multi-coloured hookup wire
