Really looking forward to the final result here. I had an early 80's Rabbit truck when I was in high school. It was a rust bucket that burned a ton of oil, but it got great mpg even with a 17 year old driving it.
I hit 50-ish mpg on multiple trips to Michigan from central Nebraska. I attribute that mostly to the rust cutting weight to a bare minimum and the fact that it would barely do 65 mph...usually requiring a hill of some sort. I loved that truck, and it would literally burn anything I put in the tank (or crankcase lol).
Have you already ordered parts, or still looking? When you get to that point, please post a complete parts list...we love that stuff around here.
