That *) $#/^@ screw

Hello pugsters! So I am reaping the benefits of my harvest. Replaced the recirculating air flap motor. Need to strip away stuff to get at the flap motor. And there's that damn screw behind the removable panel on the side of the dashboard...... Now what was that engineer smoking that day when he thou...

Re: What else should I salvage?

Backplates - the metal behind the rear discs, if they are decent then definitely have those. Door catches/mechanisms, - Indicator / wiper stalks - headlights and fog lights too - make good spares. Are you looking for parts to sell on to get some money back? The thing is I don't know what works or n...

Re: Anyone know what this color is called?

And it fades like a good 'un too. This is what I found when I de-badged a few years ago.... :cheesy: Paint code is EKQD for Diablo. The clear lacquer is peeling everywhere so fade is the least of my problems. :lol: I just want to cover the rust spots for now. Thanks for the code! :D http://goo.gl/7...

Re: What else should I salvage?

I'd whip out the climate control panel (if it has one), maybe the instrument binnacle, and any LCD displays might be handy. Central locking motors would be good, electric window motors, main heater fan, radiator fan, relays etc. Would you give it a wash for us? :cheesy: I'd buy you a virtual pint i...
