Little update from this weekend - With some help from Wade and Randy, picked up my new project car: 1992 Montana Green GTI.

I remember seeing this car on the '07 Beartooth Cruise...yep almost 10 years ago. It's been in Randy's shop for a few years and I was lucky and honored to be able to pick it up from him. I get the opportunity to resurrect this beast, get this back on the road, and throw in an R32 motor:

More pictures to come as I begin to get it put together and make progress on the swap.

Thanks gents!

Yeah so I have been putting together a laundry list of items I need, including a transmission to bolt to the VR6. Leifro, you have some items for sale? I may need to drive out and pick up some stuff.

Made some progress tonight.

Wade helped me pull the interior - it was wet and soggy. I found a bunch of change and was able to get it cleaned up pretty well. Wade also had this degreaser/enviro killer that he brought over to sanitize and defunk the carpets. I didn't get a picture, but all the carpets got sprayed and hot water pressure washed and are now hanging out to dry on my front deck.

Also sprayed the inside floors and just did a basic vac and cleanup:

Dash needs to be put back together. I think I have it all:

Image

Cleaned up and sprayed the trim down with some conditioner. Note the BSVW and '07 Beartooth Cruise stickers :thumbsup:

Image

Set the front grill on just to see how it's going to look after I'm done getting it cleaned up:

16v that Randy wants to get back. Tried to talk him out of it but failed :( so it will go back to him after I get the swap done...
