    93 VR6 Corrado, 04 R32
    04-15-2011 08:23 PM #1
    Thought it was about time we had a thread where we could help each other out by posting up when we find a wrecked Corrado in a salvage yard so others can find parts they're looking for.

    Thread post details to include:

    -name & location of salvage yard, entrance fee if applicable
    -date you visited yard
    -Corrado specs/details, & general location of Corrado in yard. What's damaged.
    -what was left on Corrado when you left
    -what was confirmed already taken
    -pix if you think of it.



    I'll start:

    -Pick Your Part yard on Energy Way in Otay Mesa (San Diego area) CA. $2- entrance fee.
    -Visited on 4/15/11
    -93 Corrado VR6, black with tan leather interior. Located along inner corridor, last row in the middle.
    Rear end collision - rear bumper & some tail lights smashed, rear quarter panel damage.
    -Tan Leather interior complete & decent shape. VR6 motor complete. HVAC controls still there. Sunroof appears intact. One headlight good.
    -ECU gone, dash stripped: cluster, switches, trim gone. Front bumper gone. Radiator & core support gone. MAF & airbox gone.
    -didn't take pix.

    That's awesome!

    Might be a good deal for someone that's looking swap from a G60 to VR!
