Yes for the rest : The rest (of my houses) are in KL. The rest (of my spaghetti) is in my lap . However, I don't think remaining can be used as a pronoun.

No, sorry
The remaining cars are for me. - this is fine
the remains (of the care) (did you mean cars?) are for me. No - "remains" means "dead body." The Army is sending his remains back from Germany so he may be interred in his family plot.
