Your location doesn't help though I suspect Tom.
I sold most of the major / notable bits on the HDi estate I broke last year and I think it was pretty much just a shell, a few panels, dash and a few odds and ends that was scrapped in the end with the rest going to new homes - so stuff does sell if you price it correctly and you're in the right place. It was only worthwhile though because I needed some of the bits for myself and bought the car on that basis - wouldn't have been worthwhile if I was doing it to make money once you factor in the time and hassle.
I'm sure that their time will come in due course, but values need to rise to the point where people are bothering to repair and restore them before that'll happen. Look at 205 parts to see a good example, as a decade ago they were in a similar place to where 306's are now whereby you could barely give away some stuff and the market was flooded with cars being broken up, whereas now most bits will sell for decent money and you wish you'd squirrelled more away.
