1983 Volkswagen Rabbit GTi
I've had it for a bit, finally decided to show pictures after getting Kyle excited about my recaros (Not the same color as the ones posted in that picture, but the same seats)

Any how, on to the pictures (From previous owner, I haven't changed anything since then except send out the new fender for paint)

The car has a full exhaust, lowered, sway bars, short shift, adn probably some other stuff I haven't stumbled upon yet. (The PO told me the only thing done was the exhaust, and sway bar).

No rust on the rockers, underbody, or frame. This car will be turned into something over the years. I plan on keeping this one :lol:

That was like the first new car I ever test drove. Should have bought the damn thing back then.
