Breaking for parts - Corrado VR6
Discussion
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!

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.
