I have just gone out to find that some of the wiring has been chewed up in the engine bay, luckily it was all stereo stuff which has a cuircut breaker on it.

After that and a long time thinking about it, I have decided that it is time to get the small bits and pieces done on it and sell it to some one who will drive it :)

Unfortunately it is not a good time to sell a gas guzzling vehicle.

Any one who is interested give me a PM, I am not even sure what I will want for it.

How did it get chewed up? Rats/mice?

You should be able to get a bit of money from the wheels and tyres as well as the intercooler, just swapping them with stock parts from other peoples cars.

To be honest, I am not really intrested in taking bits and pieces off it, it will go including all the audio and bits and pieces included.

When it goes I can cash in the insurance, which is worth a few hundred and just not having to maintain it will give me heaps more cash to play with.

I think I will own another VR4 eventually but this one needs to go while it is not in use.

oh yeah, it was rats, I have attached bits of bait to the engine to get the f#$kers. not too much damage, but there is a couple of pipes that need replacing for the air con and brake booster that don't look good.

The only real cable damaged was the 70mm flex by the battery, that is easy enough to fix as I have a metre or so spare.

I need some parts to get my car back to saleable condition, bloody rats, they wont be around for much longer :inquisiti

1, brake booster pipe from the manifold to the brake booster

2, pipe for the over flow for the radiator over flow bottle.

3, The air con hose from the compressor to the interior, it has a L on the cap over the valve.

I hope the pics explain.
