> Seems like it was one of the "lost" ones.  Car has been sitting since '89,
> has no engine.  Hoping to fit in my 3b this winter.  Zermatt silver, gray
> leather interior.  Still on new in '89 pirellis on stock ronals.  Several
> body dents from storage issues over the years; nothing that isn't fixable.
> Paint is OK with some challenged places.
> 
> Chassis is very clean, underneath looks new.  No rust other than where
> damaged in storage, and that will be cleaned off and primed asap.
> 
>  
> 
> Will need a number of things, as time and budget allows.  In no particular
> order:
> 
> Need a sunroof seal; has anyone repaired or made their own?  Also need the
> rear lid strut supports, and I'd like to adapt the hood to a gas pressure
> strut as well.
> 
> Driver's door panel in gray; actually, both inner door panels were cut for
> speakers, drivers also has water damage from a broken window.
> 
> Headlights.  Stock 4x and grill long gone, currently has aero USA coupe/4000
> lights and grill.  So, functional, but as I recall, those lights resemble
> night lights; dimly lights up the world, but not focused in any one area.
> 
>  
> 
> Don't have any owner books like maintenance folder, etc., but oddly enough,
> seem to remember having an '85 owner's manual or two in storage.  Have to
> dig that out.
> 
> Both side mirrors are floppy; have to take them off to see what broke.  I
> assume same as 4k and coupe?
> 
>  
> 
> Missing the power steering pump and any other components attached to the
> original engine, still have the big box a/c compressor, but don't have a
> receiver drier or condenser.
> 
> (Will use a radiator from the '91 coupe).

> Other questions I'll figure out in time:
> 
>  
> 
> Leather interior shows the years of sun.  Driver's side seat bottom rusted
> up from broken window; will have to replace it.  Is a 4kq frame the same?
> Hoping to adapt the leather seat covers/foam from my '91 coupe to the urq
> manual seat bottoms.
>

> 
> I think I have a set of basically new 200q20v rear brake calipers; will
> purchase the urs4/6 or v8 rotors for that.  I have a set of G60s I can throw
> on the front, but wasn't sure what rotor works with that.  Also have the rs2
> brackets/996 calipers over A8 rotors from my '91 coupe, assuming the offset
> is the same, but that will preclude using the R8s and I like that look.

> 
> What/where is the best place to put an intercooler?  Have several used ones
> of various makes/models, but don't know much about where the URQ  one was
> mounted.
> 
>  
> 
> Any advice on cleaning out the fuel tank?  No idea of the condition, but the
> fuel has been in there for 22 years.
> 
>  
> 
> I have a few of the 10v parts still with the car; oil pan, air box and
> injection components, etc, if anyone has a need.
> 
>  
> 
> Enough for now; will have to start a build thread on Motorgeek.  Still need
> to sell off the rest of the '91 coupe parts and my '81 Scirocco, plus a
> collection of parts.
