This project is like a blast from the past for me:
That's the last (of half a dozen) Rabbits I owned when I was in school. Same year as Sipster (I think... might be off by one). Same suspension & reinforcement mods as Sipster (minus the coilovers - just antisway & stiffeners). Same Jetta steel wheels as Sipster. I loved that car. Gas engine though.
It was also the first car I started eco-driving.
(Crappy pics captured from crappy video).
NO crash damage! :P (Though it was only about 10 years old when I had it.)
