The bumper MIGHT be easy because lots of people have swapped in euro bumpers over the year and might have a US spec bumper hanging out. The air dam on the other hand\u2026..oooof, that\u2019s going to be tough. \r\n\r\nTop left corner of picture# 35, I think I see two window regulators in the pictures, but it appears to my eyes, that one of them is broken. Those have been NLA for a long time. You can use a Coupe GT regulator with a few mods, but they\u2019re going to be hard to find as well. \r\n\r\nThe missing windshield here is only half the battle here because the windshield seal will be equally hard to source and pulling one from a Coupe GT without damaging it will be difficult because they get old and brittle. Also, over they years, a lot of glass shops liked to add a bead of glue between the seal and the body for an extra layer of \u201csafety\u201d and if that\u2019s the case, it\u2019ll be virtually impossible to salvage.\r\n\r\nI don\u2019t think I see a fuel tank anywhere. You can source one from a 4000q, but it won\u2019t be correct as the Urq had a larger capacity tank than the 4000q\u2026..and finding a correct Urq fuel tank will be almost impossible at this point.\r\n\r\nI don\u2019t think I see a main body wiring harness anywhere. Since this was an early car with the \u201cunder dash\u201d fuse box, it was probably melted and scrapped as part of the disassembly. You\u2019d want the later \u201cunder hood\u201d fuse box and wiring, but it\u2019ll be hard to find a complete and uncut one.\r\n\r\nThe other tricky part here is that I can see some detail of what is included, but not great detail. An example would picture# 37. I can see some of the quarter window trim pieces, but I\u2019m just not sure if it\u2019s all of them. Why is that important? \u2026.because the trim piece insert into a slot in the seal and spread it out to sort of \u201clock\u201d the seal and window into place. Can they be sourced from a Coupe GT? Sure. Are they going to be hard to find? Yes. Are they _all_ included in this sale? I\u2019m just not sure.\r\n\r\nI also see a bunch of parts that are not related to this car at all. As in, they probably aren\u2019t even Audi parts.
