My '89 Wolfsburg Edition
That picture was taken right after I bought it. Since then, I've had new engine mounts, front seals, and a timing belt installed, put in a new antenna, had new tires put on, and fixed the HVAC controls. I also bought a boot for it on eBay. It still needs a new top -- someone slashed the top and headliner to break into the car, then dug some of the rear seat padding out in an unsuccessful attempt to get into the trunk. (You can see where the headliner was patched with a piece of blue tarp.) It also has a minor dent around the left tail light where it was hit. Other than that, it's in great shape. I've been having a blast driving it, now that the weather's warming up a bit.
Tally of crap found in the car, after buying it:
- $0.25 in change
- 1 set of Sony Playstation cables
- 1 steering/brake locking bar, rusted to uselessness
- Briano1234
- Whats that smell?

No that isn't because of the Vaccuum Res. And it isn't from inporper bracing.gull wrote:I've been wondering about that big, shallow dent in the hood. At first I thought someone had sat on it, but I've seen a couple of Rabbits with the same one. Does it just sag from inadequate bracing? Or maybe the A/C vacuum reservoir is the culprit?
It is from a large person or parcel being placed in an unsupported area of the hood.
I have owned 3 rabbits over 25 years, and I can tell you that for a fact.

Yes as matter of fact, I have the Luck o'the Irish...everything I touch turns to fertilizer of the bovine variety.
