Re: New 1982 Owner.

I guess technically Jessica still exists, but she was just getting too unsafe for me to drive. The steering wheel had a little play in it when I bought her but now you can turn it almost a quarter turn before the car responded. Still had lots of electrical issues that were a pain to chase down, and ...

Re: New 1982 Owner.

Well, sad to say but Jessica passed away. I did manage to get 800 for her on the new addition. Not sure if I can still call myself a topless rabbit owner as I now have a 2000 VW Cabrio in blue.

New 1982 Owner.

Hiya, I just bought a fairly clean 1982 RABBIT. Her name is Jessica. (I like the joke.) Silver and a pic should be on this post. I have already replaced the battery and alternator and run a new ground from the alternator to the battery. Fun times indeed. Daily driving her 50 miles or so. I have ques...
