Hi,

yes, I am aware of a V8 for parting in Bavaria, near the Austrian border. If that's in scope, I can connect you. Besides that keep eyes open for Austrian V8 offerings - there are plenty of them for little money. What's the maximum amount of money you wanna spend?

ECU for cruise control is behind passanger airbag - correct. Bad to get there, bad to loose it, but you are experienced with the dashboard, so no problem. ECU is most probably broken, I bet somewhat. If you have the ECU from another V8, it is most probably broken also. But perhaps it works. The drop arm could also be the culprit, but it's a bit nasty to remove it with Airbag steering wheel.
