Default Project Spare Parts

Hello everyone, I'm a newbie from Michigan. I've been an xr4ti owner for quite some time, and as of recent, I was given a 1991 4-cylinder Fox, 5 speed as payment for some head porting services. I've been forced out of the car game as of recent, due to the Michigan Human services budget cuts. I was a treatment specialist at a local juvenile detention workshop and worked with children, teaching them how to work and modify cars. So my budget is nil. I've started to go through and fix random problems with the car, but I will be daily driving this for awhile.

After I'm back on my feet, I would like to give this to my girlfriend as a thank you for supporting my car habit. However, given it's current shape, I wouldn't trust her behind the wheel. So I reach out to you gentleman for help.

If you have any, and I do mean any, spare parts that are collecting dust, shoot me a PM and help me out. I'm looking for donations, not high-dollar performance parts. The car will not be sold again, and will be used instructing local kids on repairing and modifying their cars (I'm a car club president, and teach anyone that wants to stop by.)

The car is currently driveable,but in desperate need of:

All suspension bushings, and one rear control arm (damaged)
Entire brake system
Shocks, struts, strut mounts
Interior panels (black preferably)
Wheels, two are damaged and wobble horribly
Exhaust (manifold back)

I would like to:

Bring it up to V6 5-lug brake system
Upgrade the suspension with larger sway bars and stiffer springs
Pony wheels or Lincoln Mark VII BBS wheels

I race autocross, so suspension has always been the first priority. I've got a 2.5 stroker turbo long block that was going to go into my XR, but I've decided that I want to give her something to be proud of. Will anyone help out?
