1977 VW Rabbit

Purchased the car in the beginning of the year with most of the mods done already. It was basically a weekend car for my friend. but I worked to make it daily driveable and used it as a daily driver until recently. It was multiple colors when I got it and I took on the task of getting it repainted to its original color. PhoenixRot. Also had the antenna hole. sidemarker holes and rear emblems shaved

Engine and transmission in it is a legit JH motor with a new timing belt. new headgasket. lots of new seals and gaskets. Also has a reinforced oil pan. Has Neuspeed throttle body. big bore intake pipe. and header. Brand new clutch bolted to the 4 speed transmission. New gas tank but no surge baffle. New fuel pump and lines. New strut mounts **New clutch in 6/13** . **New battery and alternator from 2/13**.


Corrado 11. 1 brakes in the front with Momentum adapters. big master cylinder (25mm). all stainless lines. rear beam with discs in the rear. 16V prop valves. Scirocco K-Bar in the front. Autotech front & rear sway. poly bushings. Adjustable rear upper tie bar. H&R UltraLows. 16' ATS Type 10s with Yokohoma rubber.


Interior wise its sparse. All the gauges have been replaced with Autometer ultra lite units and all function. New fuse box with relayed fans (common short out issue on early cars). Has a new carpet kit and a unknown brand of Recaro knock offs. Cabby dash houses the Autometer gauges. headlight switch and a fan switch. No Stereo. but has speakers in the door and all the wiring the deck needs is ready to go.

BAD:
Car has a two spots of rust that should get fixed at some point. These aren't critical points on the car and is fairly normal for a German VW from this era.  I have the brand new pass side floor piece that has enough new sheetmetal to fix both pieces. Engine bay didnt get painted either. but I would assume that the new owner would want something more than just a JH motor so that could be addressed then
