I recently met someone who is breaking a 635 auto in the UK. I am wondering what to get as reserve parts or to use now. I guess that it will be fairly cheap as he wants me to pull it apart in his garden.
Rear anti roll bar, I plan to fit one.
Diff as a spare
Drive shafts, as spares
Does anyone know if these parts fit a standard spec late 1973 csi?
Any other suggestions or requests?

If you plan on ever running Alpina 16 inch wheels, consider getting the spare tire well, as it is deeper and you can store a similar sized spare. I am contemplating doing this to my car, as my original tire well has some weakness to it.
 
Tanks for the advice, more research is required by me. I think it is an 1982 so it seems that nothing is going to fit.
How do I get the spare wheel we'll out, is it spot welded which I try to drill, or do I take a grinder and try to cut a decent line? The risk is it would look like a dogs back leg!
Thanks C

Yes, that is what keeps me from doing it too. I remember reading they are the same dimension other than the depth.
