Rabbit MK1 Zombie

[Holland]

Thanks! I will be getting some slicks for racing. One part that is huge for this build is that it was low budget. Also I drive it on the street. Trying to find wide tires that are great for street use in the US is difficult. Buying them from europe is crazy expensive. I bought what I could with the money I had at the time. Actual dollars put into this car is around $5k. But the time and hard work make it worth much much more.

You know some yellow walled hoosier slicks would look phenomenal on that car.

Nice!

My only critique about this car is the wider fenders. It has the room for proper tires, use them, lol. I have respect for it though, bringing it back from death is something few here would ever think of doing.

i love old VWs

[mikeedler]

not my style, but I like it.

every car does not need to be purpose built, as long as you enjoy it, that is the only thig that matters.

I love how you talk about the smells of the car, that is EXACTLY how I feel about my cars, also the smelling if something is wrong is so correct!

[evandael]

so vweezly, when are you gonna get an e30?

[Julien]

I would love to go to sowo.

if you make it, drop by the eurowise booth and say hey

I would love to go to sowo.

I like the fact that you had a vision and went with it. Everyone can build a purpose built car, it takes creativity to make something that is your own.

Hope to see it at sowo in 2013 :)

Howdy yall I own the car. Thanks for the compliments and critiques. Just wanted to say that I will track the car. It is not just show. I just finished it and wanted it well documented professionally before ripping the crap out of it. It will be properly tuned this spring. The craftsmanship is quality. I can understand people not liking it. That is totally fine with me. Once again. Thanks! :)

ive known about that car for a long time, and it bothers me a little.

for a car thats "raced out" its purely a showcar, never been to a track and no intention of going to the track.

also its simply mark1, not em kay one. its a pet peeve of the diehard A1 guys. A1 is the correct chassis designation. its like calling an E30 a mk2.

i only point this out because the diehards hate when scenester kids come in and destroy the harder and harder find rabbits. it happens here too

Wait, Shhhhhhhh, you hear that?
That's the sound of nobody caring. :D

While I've never met Joel, he is part of our local car club and you can see his build here:

Personally, I like it. Lots of blood, sweat, and tears in that car and I think we all can appreciate that...

I've been lusting for an MK1 for a long time.
They have become increasingly hard to find.
