im picking this up tomorrow, took a look at it today and seems to be a good deal. its a 1984 VW rabbit cabrio. the exact mileage i dont know and doesnt seem to need much but here is whats wrong with it and my plans the bad: headgasket camshaft seal (normal) driver seat is falling apart small rust spot in the corner of the rear pannel behind the bumper needs a new tail gate rear struts are worn but not too bad yet plans: new gasket set pull the motor clean/degrease motor clean engine bay, fill holes and paint lowering springs and new rear struts prev. owner has a set of BBS wheels he will sell me for 150 he said they came on the GLI version and some BMW’s but im not exactly sure what they look like this is just a cheap car to use as transport while i get my lisence straightened out and get a job so i can get my new jeep some input would be nice, i dont know much about VW’s so hopefully some of you guys can learn me a thing or two Pics: ![http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a321/warriorspeed350/147f8d2d.jpg](http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a321/warriorspeed350/147f8d2d.jpg) ![http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a321/warriorspeed350/2894149a.jpg](http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a321/warriorspeed350/2894149a.jpg) ![http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a321/warriorspeed350/78d13016.jpg](http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a321/warriorspeed350/78d13016.jpg) ![http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a321/warriorspeed350/e0cb21a1.jpg](http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a321/warriorspeed350/e0cb21a1.jpg) ![http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a321/warriorspeed350/cf91785b.jpg](http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a321/warriorspeed350/cf91785b.jpg) ![http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a321/warriorspeed350/b4bc9c44.jpg](http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a321/warriorspeed350/b4bc9c44.jpg) ![http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a321/warriorspeed350/d5276290.jpg](http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a321/warriorspeed350/d5276290.jpg) ![http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a321/warriorspeed350/fdac0899.jpg](http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a321/warriorspeed350/fdac0899.jpg) ![http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a321/warriorspeed350/ac1e03ca.jpg](http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a321/warriorspeed350/ac1e03ca.jpg) ---

okay cool, its not that rusty really, with a new tail gate and that corner fixed it would be fine there is really no other rust the interior is just dirty and needs a new seat, other then that its fine and i figured there wasnt much to the motor so that wouldnt be a big deal should i just get a gasket kit, timing belt and water pump? noticed the shifter was a bit funky, hard to find gears, thats the linkage that needs a rebuild? plus im not looking for it to be some euro pimp wagon just something to get me around until i can save up for my new wrangler ---

CIS blows though man. if youre considering a swap ever, just do a ABA swap and just drive it… all of my CIS-E 16v’s ive had have been finicky, they really need a more modern EFI setup. even digifant 1 isnt ideal. a custom megasquirt is the way to go with a 16v if you want a solid, reliable runner. but buying an old VW isnt usually the best idea if you are broke.
