What you can use from a donor is dependant on what kit you buy and what year the donor is. If Factory Five - The 86 Mustang 5.0 with standard shift 5 speed is a great donor - provided its mechanically sound. Assuming all the parts are serviceable (they will soon be 30 years old) you can use (front to rear) radiator, control arms, spindles, brakes, engine, bellhousing, clutch, transmission, driveshaft, 8.8 rear axle and differential, brakes , rear springs/shocks, gas tank, wiring harness, and misc. relays,switches, etc.

This would give you basics for a 4 lug 15 inch wheeled car. The stock Mustang wheels could also be used - but NOBODY does that. Some of the parts will require modification ie the driveshaft must be shortened to ~ 10 inches.
