Hi All,

I am currently breaking a 1995 Moonlight Blue (LC5M) Corrado for parts. The doner vehicle was involved in a (fairly low speed) accident running into a kerb. Unfortunately the zuper-low suspension and 17" wheels & 40-section tyres couldn't prevent the car from sustaining terminal n/s suspension and a bent chassis.

So... what we have effectively is almost a complete car, less the broken n/s suspension and busted wheel available for breaking. Those of you who may have met me on Corrado Club stands at VW shows in the last 5 years will know that the car was fairly heavily modified, and I am also selling on a number of these parts as the replacement Corrado is going to be kept (largely) standard.

They key items for sale (and this is not an exhaustive list) are listed below. Please feel free to call/PM me if there is something you need which is not listed as I may well have it!



~ RUNNING GEAR ~

The ECU was remapped by Geoff Eldred at AmD in 2001 (equivalent stage 2 AmD map currently costs £599). Hoses in good order. I may consider separating the ECU from the engine, but note the ECU is not compatible for cars fitted with VW (Transponder key) immobiliser. £750 for engine/ECU complete.

These brakes are simply epic. Essentially the same brakes as fitted to the Porsche 993, these brakes are more than capable of inducing whip-lash on unsuspecting passengers! Perfect for track work, but equally great on the road (not too harsh in traffic). Best offer
over £650 secures.

o Cherished registration (M100 VRG) including 1x front and 4x(!) rear numberplates designed to make the most of it without being illegal.
Own one of the better known numberplates on the UK VW Scene. Offers over £250 (includes £75 assignment fee).

Cheers

Would it be rude to point out that the car concerned was scrapped 3½ years ago?
Please let the thread die as I don't want any more enquiries for parts I sold in 2005!

Bump. This could turn into one of those threads.....

btw have you got a steering wheel? I need one for a car I sold 2 years ago, if that helps.
