ok first off please dont reply if you dont like my price or the way my car looks. i know i prob wont get many interest on this forum but i figure its worth a shot… i just bought a house and close in august so the car needs to go to free up some cash for closing costs. the car is a 1980 Rabbit GTi. the car built in germany for the canadian market and was originally in B.C. Canada then brought to seattle then i had it shipped across the country. i dont know how many of these there are in the states but i can guess that there isnt that many… first **the motor…** 2.0L 16v Bottom end 1.8L 16v Head [completely rebuilt, with new valves and some light exhaust porting] mikuni dual carb setup mr gasket fpr msd timing computer msd 6al ignition box new rings new rod bearings new main bearings new timing belt new waterpump new idle stabilizer new sparkplugs new sparkplug wires-included new cap & rotor-included scirocco exhaust manifold TT downpipe FF code transmission 8lb flywheel new sachs clutch (less than 1200 miles on it) K&N filter CIS-Motronic ECU- included TT chip- included Euro Intake cam TT short shifter scirocco intake manifold poly motormounts Custom Fabricated skid plate by Hybrid Connection® **Suspension, wheels & tires…** Black Forest Industries control arms poly bushings for the new a-arms new ball joints new wheel bearings new cv boots Ate powerslot rotors Mintex red box Pads FK Stainless Highsport coils Heavy duty bumpstops from mk2 1/4" spacers included McGuard wheel locks included car is sitting on steelies as i sold my wheel collection seperatly **Exterior** : “Frenched” crystal clear crosshairs RPI Eurobumpers Smoked Signals Proper Badging…GOLF GTI badges Hella triple horns small duckbill on car now Deep duckbill spoiler included shaved front sidemarkers (done before i owned the car…) red striped grille GTi vinyl Trim Armor door guards **Interior** : Recaro Trophies redone in red plaid matching door cards Corbeau 4 pt harness Golf ball knob Scirocco 1 steering wheel MK4 tape deck sparco pedals optima red top battery (relocated behind passenger seat w/0g wire…) 5 pannel rear view mirror there is prob more i have done that im forgetting to mention but on to the pics… now the bad: car has been sitting for about a year. i cant get it to run smooth. it will either idle or run great top end. not both. im sure if you mess with the jetting or the timing computer enough it can be fixed. i however do haev everything to put it back to a cis fuel injected car if you wish. not to mention i will be loading the car up will all my spare mk1/mk2 parts since i no longer will have any use for em. so with that being said bring a trailer or tow dolly and finish what i started. price is $3500 obo in us currency. i have well over 7k in this thing so as the saying goes my loss will be someones gain. this one is on the vwvortex coverpage of waterfest 12 when it had ats classics ![http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f331/XwalkerX666/338__scaled_600.jpg](http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f331/XwalkerX666/338__scaled_600.jpg) ![http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f331/XwalkerX666/rabbitautohaus.jpg](http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f331/XwalkerX666/rabbitautohaus.jpg) ![http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f331/XwalkerX666/rabbitautohaus2.jpg](http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f331/XwalkerX666/rabbitautohaus2.jpg) when it had bbs rm’s ![http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r121/mikemk5/DSC_0084.jpg](http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r121/mikemk5/DSC_0084.jpg) ![http://www.vwot.org/community/modules/Gallery/albums/album540/GLGTG4_28.sized.jpg](http://www.vwot.org/community/modules/Gallery/albums/album540/GLGTG4_28.sized.jpg) then i settled on schmidt th-lines. ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v201/XwalkerX1/gti%20carb%20progress/061507.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v201/XwalkerX1/gti%20carb%20progress/061507.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v201/XwalkerX1/gti%20carb%20progress/061507-2.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v201/XwalkerX1/gti%20carb%20progress/061507-2.jpg) ![http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b259/jettaone/000_5629.jpg](http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b259/jettaone/000_5629.jpg) THIS IS HOW THE CAR SITS AS OF LAST WEEK… ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v201/XwalkerX1/7gti.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v201/XwalkerX1/7gti.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v201/XwalkerX1/6gti.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v201/XwalkerX1/6gti.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v201/XwalkerX1/5gti.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v201/XwalkerX1/5gti.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v201/XwalkerX1/4gti.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v201/XwalkerX1/4gti.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v201/XwalkerX1/3gti.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v201/XwalkerX1/3gti.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v201/XwalkerX1/2gti.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v201/XwalkerX1/2gti.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v201/XwalkerX1/1gti.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v201/XwalkerX1/1gti.jpg) 🍺 :thumbup: ---
