I remember this car, wasn’t a fan of the wrap/paint. Looks like the original color is Montana green, Pretty rare color. You can find the paint code near the spare tire should be a tag that gives you the code. You definitely got your work cut out, this one is pretty chewed up but looks to be rust free so your in good shape! I’m in the middle of restoring my MK2 GTI and she’s getting a VR6 swap as well! Keep the updates coming!
