    @MrZimmaframe Год назад +3

    Hey Dean some expensive parts you could of take out of it include, ecu, all the lock cylinders and ignition barrel (as you knew they get stolen a lot), a lot of the oem pipes, the original key if present. The Oem tinted windows, door handles in colour, they sell quite quickly because of breakins i imagine. I normally search the car parts on ebay which cost the most, so "mk7 golf R parts" then set pricing to highest to lowest and see which parts with the highest value I can take from the car. Good luck with the new engine and look forward to the new build.

    Very interesting walk around and makes perfect sense for the use you require.

I’d be in the same boat as you were, umming and arring about which parts to take, which have real value and which will just sit around forever before eventually ending up in the skip.

    Same situation here in Australia. Usually it works out cheaper to buy the whole vehicle as an unrepairable writeoff from a salvage auction, than to buy the parts needed to replace the car you’re repairing, from an Australian wrecking (breaking) yard. Usually the cost of a bonnet, bumper & a few other parts from the overpriced wrecking yards, ends up being more expensive than buying the whole vehicle from the salvage auction. Unlike the UK, we get to take the whole vehicle.

    The Cat B options are interesting, I didn't know CoPart did that and it would make bidding on Cat B worth while in my opinion! Definitely worth it and to be honest, it would be something I would do 100%.
    Be good to keep an eye out for Cat B super cars to strip for parts to profit from. There's a video just in stripping a car! Once you're ready for it you could always get your breakers license sorted out, you'd just need to transport the chassis, and frame for scrap afterwards.

    Having watched a good number of collision investigation programs, the clocks are designed to freeze in a high impact environment to record the peramiters at the point of umpact. This is to aid in any investigations as to the circumstances of a collision. Not sure why the speed hasn't been saved, could be a compnent for how speed is measured, like a wheel speed sensor or something, was damaged prior to the impact that froze the clocks.
