has everything to finish it up!
The grille is in the car along with tons of brand new parts!
Someone put hood pins in it so they tossed the old hood and found a clean white one i need to get painted.still looking for wheels.
Ive already sourced out a rear oem leather rear seat, and plan to put in 2 wide bolster leather sparco style seats, pretty sure there an off brand but very nice still.

As far as whats needed to finish it.
I need to wire up the motor with the 16v harness. I need to plumb the brakes because the braided lines dont have the right connector to plumb to the hard lines, and install some accesories under the hood!







and here it is with a matching hood and some 15x7 sportmax wheels and a bath

 

Whoo Hoo!!!

I have an '84!!! Welcome to The Bunny Club!!

 

Thanks! Im excited, the only other rabbit i had was diesel, but i only drove it around the block and then sold it. This one should rip pretty well!

 

Oh, don't knock the diesels!!!

They may be slow,,, but I'm getting 55mpg!!!

It's kinda nice driving back and forth to work all week,,, 400+ miles,,, and using less than 8 gallons of fuel!!

 

Sweet. I love the little Rabbit pickups... always wanted one.

 

Me too!!!

Mine's a hatchback,,, no room for people but a nice warm, dry place to toss your coat!! LoL!!

 

Brown falcon, I love Caddys as well but when you find a clean one there alot of money!

Snow bunny, I do want another turbo diesel volkswagen, but if i do im going for brand new

 

I completely understand!!!

I bought mine brand spanking new,,, with 13 miles on her back in '84. I love that I know every nut and bolt that's ever been touched!!! I love that I know exactly how she's been driven and exactly what she's capable of!!!

I have been asked to sell her hundreds of times,,, but there's just no way I'd ever part with her!! The insurance is cheap, cheap, cheap,,, the mileage is out of this world and I know for a fact that I haven't adopted someone else's problems!! She's a clean one-owner!!!

 

those old Rabbit are sweet. My buddies mom NAILED an adult Doe doing 55. only thing that happened was a broken headlight and that amber running light. it had this crazy shock absorbing bumper that took the blow and kept trucking.

Me personally im looking for a 5spd Jetta TDI not quite 55mph but 50 is close enough and they have some sweet pep in those little diesels.

 

If I hear of one,,, I'll be sure to let you know!!!

Jetta's are awesome too!!

 

Thanks!

 

Ya on my diesel rabbit, i drilled a hole in the absorbers and tucked the bumpers up to the body and then tossed on a set of 15x7 gold sportmax 501's and some cheap ebay coilovers, looked great rode stiff,but the guy that bought it came from seattle and drove it home.
