lellolapin: 3 day/night cleaning process pics - 66 small pics - 56k go modem shopping
 

As promised, here's a pic post of my recently acquired 1984/1981/1982

rabbit diesel L 2 door, aka lellolapin!=)

On paper it's a 1984... but the door jamb sticker says 1981 - so it

was either sold as a 1981 or 1982 model.:confused: (who cares)

Went browsing at a local shop with a friend who was scoping out

potential Type 2 Bus projects and I fell in love with it on the spot.

lol

Paid a fair price & negotiated that labour for the installation of a

new windshield, once I source one, be included.

Specs I know:
1.6L diesel
5spd
new clutch
makes me hard (but that may just be the good vibrations of a cold

diesel :laugh:)

Here's the pics I snapped before I bought 'er:














Here are the pics I snapped during the better part of 3 days I spent

cleaning 'er up: note - I made a trip to Cambodian Tire for lights :P

and had to go thru a number of wobbly pops... oh, and there's

some wicked shots of the penecilin2 that was growing under the

passenger seat :screwy: as well as before and after cleaning pics that

show the amazingly powerful combination of Simple Green and Mr. Clean

Magic Eraser. :beer:

Before the pics, just a bit of commentary:

PO cut 6x9 holes in the parcel shelf:mad: - ah well, will have to get some cheap garbage speakers... :P
the door jambs & hatch jamb are among the most improved parts













































































Future plans on the cheap:
passenger side trim
passenger side doorhandle trim
passenger side rear fender flair
picked out a set of hubcaps that are going to be THE hotness:cool:
planning on dyeing/spraying every brown interior bit black
new black makeshift headliner
might sawzall a couple inches out of the too wide bench seat to make it fit - as it's currently worthless to me anyways, though in good shape
new steering wheel
horn that works lol
new steering column shifter switch contact(s) as ya gotta hold the signal stalk 1/2 down to signal left lol:p
k&n air filter
etc

:cool:

Post Script:

I was able to produce this thread relatively quickly compared to previous ones I've done up. How?

Tested pic size in testing forum
Used irfanview to scale, label, rename & strip pics to small filesize
Used a lot of ctrl+v & ctrl+p
Tried to use excel to extrapolate a list of sequential filenames, but gave up as figuring it out properly was taking too long vs copying, pasting & renumbering quickly.
Composed this badboy in a text file so that vortex can't eat it when i click submit.:P

hope you enjoyed 'er!

cheers,
vw_dick:)

:beer:

why the dollar under the shifterknob? did you want to double it's value :p

:)

forgot to mention - the bunny logo from an old key is going to be adhered to a canadian $2 coin and then to my shift knob. why?

'cause it's gonna money! :D

you can say that your rabbit is humping that canadian beaver or whatever's on the tooney

lol - polar bear(s)... i think either the rabbit would be full on body fucking them, or, would get eaten. (not out) lol :p
