Hi there,
I've just bought a V8 quattro sedan (one of only 5 sold here during 1991) and as you can imagine, not many are being parted-out here.

Can anyone recommend a good parts salvage company in the US that have used V8q parts - and can cope with email orders from Australia?

I'm guessing lots more were sold in the US and there would be plenty of parts cars around. I don't need much now; just trim parts that I know will be really expensive (if even available) new.

Thanks, Phil

Shipping to Australia? Should be fun.

Thanks for that. Even though it may sound crazy to you guys, importing used parts from the US, where they seem relatively plentiful, is a whole lot cheaper and easier than getting parts out of Europe. Hopefully I won't need too many anyway.

Thanks again,

Phil.

What are you looking for.
I am about ready to part one myself if things go as planned.

Like I said before, small stuff just for now. I'm looking for a right hand front door seal (it fits onto the door aperture, not the door itself), right-hand front inner guard plastic liner, a front centre armrest and if possible the hard plastic backing from a left front sports seat (I don't expect I'll find this easily as most will want to sell complete). Interior colour is black. Also want to replace auto gear lever **** with a leather covered type of similar shape from perhaps another, later Audi (and one that isn't shiny and worn).

I tried to send an Alfa Guilietta cockpit molding trim piece there once.

They have a very short length limitation, I think it was 41". A few other odd regs. The one I remember best is a refusal to accept any mail labelled ANZAC. (Australia-New Zeland Army Corp. If I remember my history) Seems to me they have an ANZAC Holiday.

In any case, the 11 ounce piece of stainless ended up going UPS for $110.00.

Patience, Patience and $$$ will ensure an above average driving experience. Finding an mechanic who can work on your car will be your next adventure. It can be done, just know what you have got yourself into and you will find yourself smiling many times behind the wheel.
