After over 20 years I'm about to purchase a Montage

[76stratos]

After looking for over 20 years, missing several cars by days, I am about to purchase a Montage (VW base). From what I have gathered, the car started life in California, then Washington, now in Montana. It needs a lot of work, but at least I will finally have one. I'll need some parts, hope someone here can help.

Congratulations sir

Purchase has been completed, paper work signed, now all I need to do is drive about 12 hours towing my trailer to pick it up. I'll post some photos once it is here.

I have the car in my possession now, needs pretty much a complete restoration. I need to either locate some of the small parts or fabricate them myself. If someone has an assembly manual that I can borrow, I will make copies and return it to you.

I wish it was a complete car, it is probably about 80%.

Im sure you will find all the parts you need to complete the car. I really like the wheels on the car. Plan on keeping those?

[76stratos]

I'm not sure about them, I looked into new tires but can't find a matched set of four, doesn't mean I'll change the wheels, but there are more sizes available at 18 inch rims. As for parts, the fiberglass parts are easy to find, it is the mechanical parts like door hinges and mechanism. Would really like to get a look at an assembly manual.

[D Morgan]

Yea, it would be nice to have an assembly manual. If you decide to change the wheels, I may be interested in those if they would fit my 78 Kelmark 5 lug,
