Your spell checker needs a spanking.  Brennan??

CAN'T USE:
Front brakes and spindles
Steering knuckles, lower control arm, radius rod if it's an early one
with the stamped control arm. N.B. manual steering knuckles steer
slower than power steering ones regardless.
Exhaust forward of CAT
Exhaust hangers and struts
Wiring harness
Fuse/relay panel
AFM/filter box/gooseneck from AFM to throttle body
Throttle body itself if it hasn't been replaced by a 2.1l one.
Various (most) actual engine stuff except alternator and probably
most cooling hoses and pipes.
ECU

Undoubtedly other stuff, but that's a big chunk of it.

Yours,
David
