If he wants to make as much as possible strip it of all useable bits and ebay them. Things like radiators, wheels/tyres, starter, doors, wings(bolt off on them IIRC) , seats/interior if in good nick. Wiper motors, heater units etc. People running them on a budget will be happy to pick them up for peanuts

Its also a good way to learn about cars which will save him money in the long run as he will be able to do more of teh maintenance himself. You haven't said what has caused the death, if you let us know we can probabloy recommend even more components to salvage. Depending on whats bropken you may even be able to buy the bits of ebay to get his back up and running. a complete running engine shouldn't be more than 100 quid or so.
