So other than the body harness, under hood fuse box, fender mounting horns (ours are rusted out), vac boosted brake assist, seats, wheel liners, and 3 gauge cluster... what else would be useful from this CGT for our UrQ rebuild?
This was the freebie from Audifans! Def was a great score, and was happy the guy still had it when I got a hold of him.

brought it home for my mom... she wasn't as amused as my dad was apparently :-P

My mom isn't so pleased with me at the moment, but it's for the good of the cause! haha. As long as we get it torn down and parted ASAP, she won't have too big of an issue. my only worry about junking the shell too quickly is that after we dip the UrQ, I'm afraid of what sorta rot we're going to find under the undercoating. I'd like to use the CGT body as much as possible to splice things together so we don't end up paying the body guy too much to make one-off pieces.
Otherwise, the UrQ has been running decently. Upgraded the front brakes to A4 spec and the rears to V8 since the car couldn't pass state inspection w/o a functioning parking brake. Had to ghetto rig the UrQ cables to work w/ the V8 calipers, but otherwise it was a pretty tit for tat swap.
