Just figured i would throw this up here. This is my beater/driver. sold my 89 jeep rustbucket and picked up this vw mostly because my one buddy got me interested in vw's in general. Its a Rabbit L, fuel injected 1.7l with a 4 speed. I've made a lot of changes since i bought it. Plans this summer are some RED paint, tires for the new 14's, and maybe a couple other small things. Juat figured i'd throw my little project up here for the hell of it. I'll let the pics do the talking:
2 part epoxy primer temporarily.
Got parts from a 89 cabriolet. all i wanted off the body for $100, ended up making money selling the parts i didnt use. 8)
Before, stripped off all the paint and powdercoating. these are 13's off a cabriolet parts car.
After! Lots of time in these
Lowered on coilovers on the 13's with balloon tires.
Cut up the bumper to put turn signals in it.
Got the new fenders shaved and lip cut and flattened so i can go lower 8)
Somewhere along the way, i sold the old roof rack (oem piece) for $250, made my own for $20 and i like it better
Mine and my buddies jetta that i painted. Its hotrod flatz, single stage metallic pearl.
Going to the machine shop! :lol:
Picked these 14's up at a show a couple weekends ago. going to get some tires for them soon
The big change last weekend! Friday night apart
Saturday night together!
Got my bumper on and signals wired up tonight.
Just a fun car to putt around in. handles like a go cart with the coilovers on, i love it. bouncy as all hell. I get looks everywhere i go. I cant imagine driving a boring car that blends in with everything else, thats why i love this heap and my cutlass
