I've been slowly working on getting this rabbit that I traded my motorcycle a while back for up and running. And its finally there. While it still needs work(mostly interior and suspension) I figured I'd see what interest I could stir up for it as I am still in school, and in need of sinking money into a car project like I need a hole in my head. That being said I am not entirely sure I want to sell it. But here it goes.
Issues:
-Alabama car-Flawless shock towers, the only very very minimal rust is on the rear cowl.
-overall straight body with the exception of a dent on the driver side fender that is below the body line and that can most definately be pulled
-No carpet
-cracked dash
-no headliner or card
-front seats are pretty much shot
-was originally an AC car, comes with all the components but not installed
-I can shift into 2,3,4,5 with no issues....having a problem with 1st and reverse but going to work on it tomorrow and should have it sorted out shortly
Positives:
-27,000 mile 1.6D motor...yep that is correct. Lots and lots of life left! Runs amazing!
-swaped the orig. 4 speed for a 5 speed (150k) trans
-new front rotors and pads
-all new belts
-all new hoses
-new battery
-new front axles
-new thermostat
-new Luk clutch kit
-new valve cover gasket
-new oil pan gasket
-new oil filter
-new fuel filter
-new air filter
-newer rear main seal
-newer vaccum pump
-rebuilt, low milage oil pump
-new shifter bushings(not yet installed)
-momentary actuating button installed for the glow plugs
-lightly used, smaller aftermarket cooling fan(not yet installed)
-pop-up sun roof
-also to possibly go with it for the right price, a rear beam that has been sand blasted and painted black with new poly bushings, fitted with new mk3 rear discs for a conversion from drums to disks
Pics reflect how the car was when I first purchased it, not since all the work has been done to do it.
$3,000- OBO or possible trade
