Hello everyone, I have recently agreed to free up some space in a soon to be sold house in my neighbourhood by dismantling and taking away their old kitchen.

The plan would be to refurbish this used ikea kitchen and install it in my current makeshit kitchen space (which, until 2 weeks ago, was also used as a tool deposit... yes, this is my main kitchen space).

The ikea kitchen was bought a few years ago and, since then, it has been moved once (from one room to another) and then the house has been rented (now it's being sold and the owner wants to get rid of it and install a new one).

The hole in the tabletop is due to a previous "architectural inconvenience" (there was a pillar).

The fridge will be thrown out at a local garbage disposal center. I'm considering keeping the dishwasher and oven. The dishwasher is smelly but I think a cleaning cycle could solve that.

Some hinges and nuts (dishwasher) are a little rusty. I'm not sure how to handle this (mainly I'm not sure if cleaning would be advisable/possible or if it would be best to try and source new ones)

The kitchen is 4.5m, my space is 4.2m. I think I can fit it by removing one 0.3m module from the right.

The structure will need to be throughly cleaned up and possibly put some mats on the bottom of drawers and cabinets (to hide possible usage damage and improve stability of whatever will be stored).

One of the cabinets has a visible big scratch on one face and the fridge front door has a crack on the side (I forgot to take pictures).

This is my first endeavor of this kind (dismantling and installing a kitchen... and owning a kitchen in general...). Any advice is very welcome, thank you.
