Default Buying a part XJ?

Has anybody bought an old Jeep just to use its parts?

I'd want to buy an xj that would fit mine for $400, use all the parts I need..but, not sure what to do with the carcass once I've stripped it. Any ideas?

If you have a title once you get it down to a carcass get your hands on a flatbed take it to your local shredder. You should get around 12 cents a pound. I took a ZJ shell in with some random steering components and came out with $180. They also have a magnet to lift it off.
