79' VW Rabbit V8 Project

Well I postponed the escort GT build for a project I couldn’t refuse for the price, and just to see the look on peoples face when I tell them what I’m doing. Some would think I’m sick in the head. Here is a hint as for what is to come very soon.

Looks like a rust bucket.

weight reduction yo

Just light surface rust. Cameras at night make rust look real bad. The pics I’m going to post later make the rust look way worse then it is.

i would never touch anything with rust. i hate working with rust, repairing rust, smelling rust, sweeping up rust flakes. everything with rust sucks. have fun with this, i hope that is the worst of the rust

and your signature is stupid as hell.

That signature is pretty lame, but Rabbit’s can be cool.

I bet you the unibody where the rear beam bolts to in that car is non-existant. Really… get another car.

The rust is worse than you could ever imagine.

You’re stupid as hell.

↑ Ohhh fighting words.

Get an overall shot so we can see wat u workin wit!

After dealing with old rusty cars I have to agree with this. Spend the extra cash and get something in decent shape unless you have no other choice or you’re a masochist.

i think my saturn build is more out of the ordinary lol. im jfwy man. im always up for a unique build that can potentially be quite nice in the end. good luck!

fuckin awesome, I wanna see how this turns out as you’ve rekindled my VW whore-ness

only thing i can say is to invest in a spot sandblaster, they work wonders if your not cutting the panel out and replacing the metal by welding.

I only care if this is getting a new tdi motor…

Who ever said the unibody is still there?:smiley: I post a pic of the emblem and all of a sudden the thing is a rust bucket? Its been sitting for some time and yes it has some rust but I couldn’t resist.

Here is the body.

No really here is the body


my media teacher has a cabriolet rabbit lol, theyre neat cars i guess

what are you doing with this?

No firewall = you wont need heat, I like the coilovers

That car is gone, might as well junk it.
