I did 3800 L27 swap in mine and kept the DOHC 4t60e with 3:43 FDR. I get 26-28 mpg .

So if I drove up their here in a couple of weeks, do you think I could find a bumper, door, and fender for mine?

I'd upgrade your brakes to the 96 regal/cutlass. Too

Yeah I would like to do that stuff but I need to find body parts first lol!

They're 20+ year old cars. It's to be expected that nothing is really made for them anymore. I'm almost 100% positive I have both red doors off the TGP I parted out many years back still sitting in my Public Storage space. I believe they had glass and motors/regulators. No moldings or door panels though, but those can easily be swapped with yours. I'm pretty sure the metal strips that hold the moldings on were in good shape, too, which is an important thing to watch out for with these cars. Those commonly rust out, and can't secure the moldings to the door anymore. Had that happen on my other TGP. The driver side molding stuck out enough so that it would always get caught in the fender when you went to open the door, forcing you to only open it partially. Anyhow, if I still have those, I'd let them go for $50 each at this point.

I don't have a front bumper, but I believe I have the lower air dam that goes under them on the B4U package. As hard as it is to find a front bumper, it's much harder to find one of those air dams in good shape. However, because of that, those don't sell cheap. I'd need $150 for that guy. I'll also have to check, but I'm almost positive I had a complete HUD set up or 2 for those cars. I'd let everything needed for that go for $100. So if you ever feeling like making a trip out to a far SW suburb of Chicago...

He has a '92. Those didn't come prewired. Only the '94 - '96 with the redesigned interior and the "under the dash" HUD did. +1 on the brake upgrade, though.

I will let you know about the doors might make a summer trip up their!

Nice find! Love the color, probably my favorite color of the 1st Gens. Although pleae take those crosslaces off the 99 and put 'em back on the 92!!! They look a ton better there lol.

When I get the 92 goin I will put the wheels back on it!!

Early W body parts are usually pretty cheap in the yard since no one wants that crap anyway. lol

Except me. I hoard W parts. I still have 97-03 GTP parts around and I haven't owned one of those in a while now. Good thing I kept them cause I'm looking for another one.

Right before I got my first VW back in 2008. Traded it in when the trans went.

Taken with one of my first phones. Cameras have come a long way in cell phones since then.

Was a 1997 GTP loaded. Didn't have a sunroof but had the optional garage door/sunglass holder thingy.

Well idk yet but if I get my dads friends gtp some time this project may be up for sale, im going to try and talk him in to letting me keep it but if not, I will be up for sale by june, I hope that I can keep it though!

Lol if you wanna look for one for mine you're more than welcome
