    I'll post for my brother since he doesn't post here.

    1991 Coupe, full re-spray in Black Magic Pearl. 2L 16V Turbo with 9A bottom end and Haltech management... WAY TOO MUCH TO LIST.






    And.... for sale.

    Oh, and a 4 door headliner will NOT work in a coupe, but I believe there is a way to trim a GTI unit to fit. Can't remember though. It's been years since we finished my brother's build and I've, unfortunately, forgotten a bunch of my useless coupe knowledge.

    You need to trim a GTI 2 door with a sun roof. its no that bad as long as you reupholster it.
