here's the manual to disassemble almost everything from the exterior.

do you have a big enough garage? maybe you can store spare parts for us if we need them in the future. e.g. side view mirrors often break.

speakers, spoiler, gear shift ****, leather seats, steering wheel, nav unit
you can sell these parts for cheap.

i'd take a truck and strip the whole car if i could. Someone on this board needs parts some time.

I don't know how much he can strip since the insurance is paying for it. The after market stuff yeah but things like mirrors, seats, steering wheel not to sure.

Anyhow hopes he get that rear bumper off I want dibs on it first.

If they let me have at it, Im going to take as much as I can, but the insurance said I can take my custom parts back, and nothing more.

Thanks for the link.

yeah it looks like a quick job.

the insurance co is gonna junk it anyway, so might as well rip out the back seats and make a sofa.
