What parts would you want off that bike? It's all heavy duty stuff from another era (early 2000's). Not even the wheels would be a good idea because new school 24"s require a small sprocket, and that rear wheel won't take a small freewheel.

just the frame forks and wheels (rims), it was just because the opportunity is there really and i know the guy so could possibly work something out
more out of interest than anything really, i've got my bmx for bmxing and fixie for work/ distance so it would be an inbetweener and also if someone came over who didn't have a bike as i live a bit far from town
when did cruisers come out? i din't think they were that old
interesting about the sprocket, i was going to get a big old one to put on it
Bunky:
As a cruiser mega-fan, I can look at that bike and tell you the geometry is going to feel like shit. Too low of a bottom bracket and too long of a rear end.
cmc4130 knows what's up.
Where do you live? Sometimes you can find a decent Model C on ebay or bmx museum. I personally really like my WaveC/ModelC bikes. They bunnyhop really well, which makes them super fun to ride even if you're just hauling ass down the street.
If you really want to stick to a lower budget you could go with something like the DK Cygnus: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2015-DK-Bicycles-CYGNUS-24-Cruiser-BMX-bike-POLISH-RED-new-in-box-FREE-SHIPPING-/121624616962?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1c51646002
I personally think the headtube is a little slack on it, but the geo on this is going to be TONS better than that Haro.
