Default my rabbit gti

hello
my name is otti and i am from germany.
my expensive hobby made it a necessity to get a better payed job so i moved to norway,where i still live.
i am in the process of building a car up from scratch and ride the bus
shortly after i moved to here i bought my first mk1 84 rabbit (kind of rare in europe i think. i did a lot of work to that car and enjoyed it a lot
i bought the complete content of the sparco catalouge,supersprint exhaust,
lights, chrome parts and silicone tubes.....and more


i loved that car and decidet to drive it to germany for a nice repaint in my vacations. unfortunately did we when we took it apart a lot more rust than we expected difcould specially on the rear axlemounts
there was no hope of saving it and i was really unhappy when we had to crush it.
no time to waste i bought a new shell and begun to work on it


i got a good offer for a 1.8t engine i couldnt refuse
one year later, tons of work ,3000euro in planetickets many hours overtime
she sits like this










the car is copletely white inside engine bay and underside

and for fun:
first start
dnt mind my voice i was exited to hear her roar for the first time
gauges

i hope you like it
