budget bunny
So i picked up this 1977 rabbit about 2 weeks ago from the second owner. He had purchased the car in 1978 from the original owner with 15,000 miles. The mileage on it now is 141,000, so that that many miles in a 30 year period. So i decided on this car for a daily so i can do either a swap or rebuild the engine on my mkII. The car has virtually no rust, just a little under the windshield and couple dents here and there but otherwise in great shape. Now for some pics, all this was done by me and a couple of friends at the dealership where we leave.
this is the car, its not a very good pic, but gives you an idea. car was completely stock.  the new versus the old wheels, still 13's but now 13x8's with some 175/50r13  the old front strut bearings, and yes i'm going to get them rebuilt and put them back in  where's my strut??? new one on getting ready to be put in  the new coilover versus the old strut and spring, fk highsport, something cheap and easy and doesnt ride bad either  heres one of the new front strut bearing  and me putting the first wheel on in the front, very exciting  got both front wheels on and decided to lower it down to get a idea of what i was in for  me with the new rear coilover ready to go in, we snapped one of the rear strut bolts because the impact we had was on the highest setting :laugh:  rear coilover in with the new poly bushings  got some front and rear plastic euro bumpers with clear turns from jman (james). thanks again for delivering those. before  after  the front before  after  and now one shot of the factory blue interior  and a couple on the ground in the parking lot un-washed   enjoy, and thanks to everyone that made this possible: dylon, benny, james, and sarah for giving me the time to do it :laugh:

Hey VW89, good to see you here as well (Cavok on the -tex).
Just wondering if I ever met you? Back in 2000-2001 I used to hang out with some guys in PDX/Eugene, Tim and the guys (Dubsquad). Nice nice nice looking car, what a find!!! But, again, I would've loved to see the USA bumps stay... I don't think it's a Scorpion edition, they were black... These stripes must be aftermarket, they were VERY 'hot' back in the day

I've never heard of a Scorpion edition, but the stripes on this green car are ultra-hot!

really MAGNIFICANT, what a great looking ride you got there, again the proof: a MK1 only needs lowering and a good set of wheels, wheels that belong to the age of the car!
if only we could throw away our front licence plate, we always need to put this yellow peace of uglyness in front of our car
