1981 Rabbit
I bought this rabbit while i was down in MT over spring break and drove it all the way back to wyoming. It's a 1.7 L with a techtonics cam, An exhaust, and a ported and polished throttle body. The rims are off a newer Golf GTI, I have a MK2 center console in it, and my whole sound system in.. Here is a picture.

Ya.. some one decided it would be convenient to step on my brand new exhaust so it's wired up with speaker wire until i find an exhaust shop..

Re: 1981 Rabbit
Ya we have a silent knight in hamilton and i've known the owner since i was like 3 or 4 years old but i now live in wyoming as im going to wyotech here. But i just got some cash flow and im thinking about either a new exhaust and some suspension or a 16v
