FEELER FS: Parting out 1994 GT, Trying to weigh my options here Options

[XCSkierFreak]

Hey guys...been a while since I've been on the forums, and unfortunately, I've decided that me and the Celica need to part ways. I hadn't bluebooked it in a while, but the private party value plummeted, and I'm thinking it might be more worthwhile to part it out rather than sell it whole.

The specifics:
1994 GT 5 speed
201K, with a thorough inspection from a mechanic at 196K (something about a misdiagnosed oil pump leak that ended in the replacement of my headgasket)

I bought the car with 188K on it, the previous owner(s) put a whole bunch of goofy blingy mods into it, as well as lowering springs and a CAI. I installed a new set of KYB struts at about 192K, and just replaced the starter motor and battery. The inspection was because one shop thought the headgasket was blown, which I bought all the parts I'd need to do it myself, ended up having too many washers on a couple headbolts and cracking the crankshaft because of it..then took it to a different shop to have them mess with it, and the mechanic inspected all the internals that were taken apart.

edmunds.com has the TMV at $1079, and trade in is around $600. I'm not super excited to get a few extra hundred bucks trying to sell it myself, nor am I enthused about either market value. Can I get more than 1100 parting this out? How much? Feel free to ask for parts, just realize A) I might not part it out and B) it might be up to a month before I actually start parting out.

^That's a true statement, although I want to add that I voted "Part it Out" because it's common knowledge that the parts of a car are worth more than the whole. If that weren't the case, there wouldn't be stolen cars and/or chop shops.
