VR6 0 Posted February 9, 2003 Kev, If it's a G60/VR6 then the engine/running gear will definitely be worth getting if it's going cheap enough! Alternatively, things like door handles are always things that knacker and are, therefore, worth getting your hands on (either to sell on, or for your own use). If you're trying to make a few quid and have the time/skills to dismantle and sell the parts then you should definitely be able to make some money. Depends a lot on condition as well though. HTH BTW, net-etiquette deems that by typing in CAPS, you are shouting. Best to avoid if possible. Cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
G60Jet 1 Posted February 9, 2003 if you can get it really cheap I've heard of people stripping a Corrado for £3000 but its a risk. use ebay and you should do okay, What model is it? and year? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
