Hey there! You've got a great page here, glad to see there are some people in this world that are smart enough to KNOW that rabbits kick serious ass, inside, and out. I've recently purchased a 83 GTI, (for 400 bucks!) and have immediate plans to restore it. The problem I have is that I dont know how to install roundies (I have rectangular lights, as per the 83) and was wondering if you could give me a few hints on the How-To's of installation (2 per side). Also what seats would you recommend for me? I'm 6'3", and the original seats aren't wide enough for my body. Whats a good choice for a retrofit? Keep up the good work, I look forward to hearing from you............................Adam. |

| I have the bitchennennest VW 1980 Wabbit in the whole world. Runs quiet. So it burns a quart of oil every 400 miles. It's my baby car! I keep this baby tuned up and pampered. It gets a garage for a house. Mine has 226,000 miles on it. I'm so glad to see how many folks have the same love for their wabbits as I do. I love mine! No transmission problems. I watch the oil and make sure it has enough. My windshield is cracked because of desert living, but my baby car loves the Mojave desert and I love it! VW Rabbits RULE baby!!!!!!!!!!. | ||

I'm correcting a series of electric problems. A fuse box replacement seems to be the answer. If you can help me remedy this for a 80 F/I Rabbit please contact me. Thanks. |

My '77 finally needed a new clutch and pressure plate. They only lasted 272,000 miles... I guess the Germans don't build'em like they used to, huh? I'm the original owner and the mileage is accurate. Nice pictures in the archives. I'm afraid ol' Gertrude is not ready for a photo yet, but i may scan in an older one from her youth. |

I'm looking for VW Rabbit pickup parts. A bicyclist ran into the back of my truck and destroyed my tailgate soon after we had spent a lot of money on painting it. Do you know of any companies that sell parts? Thanks, Penny |

I like you sit. I have three vw's, two 83 Rabbits and a68 Scircco 16v 2+2 coupe with a 1.8L. They are all really great cars. I use to hit the car show circuit, my Rabbit won over 20 tropies. The best and my favorite is the Scircco. It is a hot running machine. I am also the past president of a Vw car club based in Indiana we are Southern Indiana Volks Force a part of THE INDIANAVOLKS CLUB. Your web page is really good. I will drop in from time to time.

Great Page!!!!!! I own an '84 Rabbit GTI It is the second car that I have owned I have had it now for three years, The car was involed in a minor accident while I was away at school and was broken sitting in a parking lot for 4 months, During the Time It was Broken I bought an 86 Gti and It was no where near as Much Fun as the Rabbit. Needless to say I sold that A2 and repaired the trusty Rabbit that had 100, 000 more miles than the A2. I love beating Torqueless Wonders (aka HONDAs) in Dragraces out on the strip at the beach (I live in in Daytona Beach not the best place for VW enthsiasts). My Gti with nearly 250 000 miles on it has beaten Civic Si, integra and even a few fools that didn't know how to drive their Porsche boxters. Rabbits Rule keep em on the road forever!!!!!!!!!! |

Awesome page! Its good to see so many vw lovers! I currently own to VW rabbits: '82 diesel, and my new project, a '80 2dr gas.(paid $50 with only a bad motor!) The '80 Rabbit will soon have 1.8 motor from a '85 Jetta. But, I'm looking for a turbo set-up for the A1. If I had the money, I'd be getting the 1.8 20valve turbo. I could use any help in my quest for a turbo kit!!! Feel free to Email with any questions you have. REMEMBER: If it's not VW, It's just not worth driving!!! |

for some reason my gti ended up on the opening page of this website (the surf green rabbit on the main page). i will be putting new pics up in spring as the car now looks nothing like that shitty 3 year old picture. since then i have gotten a full jamex suspension kit and sits about 2 1/2 inches lower than those spax springs, eurosport lower tie bar, neuspeed strut brace, de-flared the arches, euro bumpers, peeled off the tint, tinted lenses all round, 195/50/15 pirelli p7000s, high compression 1.8 from 90 gti, diesel tranny, shortened bee sting, drilled airbox, when the car was painted in 96 the rear side marker lights were shaved, the tailgate was shaved, aerial on fender was shaved, bee sting installed on roof, integra seats (sorry for going honda but i needed seats and they were sweet seats for dirt cheap), 320mm momo monte carlo steering wheel, mk1 jetta lower console, mk3 jetta lower chin spoiler modified to fit under stock gti chin spoiler, twin outlet exhaust manifold, 2 1/4 pipe, no |

1979 Volkswagen Rabbit Diesel owner: unknown kilometers (odometer only goes up to 99,000 and I bought it when it was sixteen years old), lots of body rust (slowly being taken care of), and of course still runs like new. Recently replaced the head gasket in my parent's driveway (used two clamps to hold the timing belt to the intermediate shaft pully and the injection pump pulley, a steel ruler to lock the camshaft, and a bolt wrapped with masking tape to lock the injection pump pulley). Currently need a fuel tank (leaking) but I've heard that you need to drop the rear axle to get the old one out. |

I thought I was the only one who owned a '77 rabbit, but i guess not! it's nice to hear that i'm also not alone for loven' vee dubs! they rule! i have a stock '77 yellow auto rabbit - gas of course - and when i say stock, i mean stock! the only two things that i can think of that aren't stock are the two speakers in the back, and the head unit. everything else is stock, but in excellent shape. i am the third owner, and can't wait to get the car on the road, and hopped up! i don't know what is going to be more fun, the hop ups, or the driving the car it's self! anyways. like i said, own a 1977 yellow rabbit, automatic, 1.6L, and i have no clue how many valves. i just got the car not even a week ago, and i'm waiting for the papers to come back so i can go get the insurance and plates. any ideas on how to come across cheap and reliable performance parts will be welcome. i also wouldn't mind knowing where to get some 4-point saftey harnesses for my car, preferably in canada, and even |

Sweet piece with the usual fun mods (BBS wheels, TT exhaust, K-&-N, chasis tie bars, etc) that keep the car basically stock looking. Just placed 3rd in Vermont VW show 3rd weekend in September. Nice place to drive to in the fall. Em ail me for info on the next one if you like. I have an 81 Cabrio that is willing to donate parts, so if you need something, let me know.

Great web page; keep up the good work. I had an '83 Rabbit LS gas 4dr. It was a great car, but I sold it for the money. Now I have an '82 Rabbit LS 2dr diesel. I've owned it for 3 years now. It is a great car; I've driven it all over the place. I love the diesels! Just last weekend I bought an '83 Quantum with a Turbo Diesel engine. Hopefully this winter I will be performing an engine swap and putting some more power into my Rabbit. Keep on driving the Rabbits! |

I have an 84 GTI. The car has a g-grind cam, techtonics exhaust, Hor springs, Boge shocks, and many other minor extras. I bought the car three years ago and have used as my daily driver ever since. Now, with nearly 200k miles, it looks and runs better than when I bought it. |

great page, easy to navigate, well organized. I just surfed on in and I was glad I found your page. I admit I don't know too much about my VW yet, I have an '84 Wolfsburg Convertible with only 71k miles. I just bought it a few months ago and I've been debating on whether to restore it to mint condition, it's in excellent shape already or whether to modify it. I'm still debating. As soon as I get off my lazt butt and scan some pics I'll send you some. |

Very nice site. You've definitely earned my approval. Its nice to see others with the same appreciation for Rabbits that I have. I drive a 1983 Rabbit LS. The LS features Power Steering, real window wiper, and Air Conditioning. It is a gas engine, frost blue exterior, dark blue interior. I bought it about 4 months ago, and since then, I have had the AC recharged, the vents repaired, 2 holes in the body repaired (one was VERY sloppy), tune-up, 2 new tires, 1 new hub assy, 1 new strut when old one fell out while they were repairing the hub, 4 new exterior door handles (oh, yeah. It is a 4 door model, but I guess you figured this out already), it needs 1 new interior door handle, 1 new flywheel, 1 new alternator belt, (I went to this one place about 4 times because they kept giving me the wrong belt. I then went to NAPA, and they were right the first time. Of course, my battery died RIGHT after I installed the new belt in the NAPA parking lot! It didn't need to be replaced, just charg |

Great site! Not enough Rabbit sites on the web. I own a 1980 Rabbit Convertible. It came from Eastern Canada {New Brunswick} and it was pretty ratty looking. I changed the color from red to Intense blue pearl metallic and re-dyed the interior and ragtop white. It came with the original 1.6L, but it was converted from fuel injection to carburetor. OUCH! That wasn't long going either. I now run a 1.8L GTI motor with a 4 in 1 header and a 2 1/2 inch exhaust. It goes like stink. Time for a new project. We have a little rabbit club where I am ranging from rabbit trucks {caddy's} to cabrio's and GTI's and even deisel's. Maybe you can email me back and tell me where you are located in case we decide to do a road trip some time. Thanks. |

great site! i love reading all the vw rabbit info. and comments! i noticed some people said not much on rabbit elsewhere, i noticed at barnes-&-nobles in the magazines an english magazine published on vw and mostly rabbits. these guys are SERIOUS about their cars, but it has info and pictures of the rabbits that ive'nt seen elswhere. of corse it costs $10-15 so just stand there with some coffee for 45 min. ive owned about 13 vw's, everyone wants the fast ones, ive always wanted one of every vw model! |

Great Page!! Very few to rabbits on the web, don't know why. I own a 79 RABBIT C. It is stock but it can haul. I bought it 2 years ago this Christmas Eve for $450. My present to myself. It was silver but was painted (poorly) burgandy. It is now black, but will be a custom coral/orange, with multi-color designs. The interior is red with a red carpet dash cover ($45.00) from Advance Auto (special order but lots of colors.) It is fuel injected and has a non-catalytic sticker in the door. I just got new 14x6 Z-racing rims and 185-60 Falken Zeix's. Hopefully I can start driving it every day. I also own 71 -&- 73 Superbeetles VW's rule |

i was given my 1981 VW Rabbit as a gift. It is an awesome blessing. My Rabbit is a shade of tan (not sure what the name is) and it has a dark blue interior. It is a diesel with a 4speed manual. My little car is tough. It has several accidents in its lifetime and it has well over 300,000 miles on it, yet it is still running perfectly. Rabbits are awesome cars. i love them. |

I have a 1977 Mars red 4 door Rabbit, which I bought from the original owner. It's still got the original paint, which looks great. It has 83 GTI wheels, black Scirocco leather seats, a custom built 2.0 8v engine and close ratio trans.(both I just recently built), an early 16v ignition system, A-2 8v intake manifold with all the F.I. system on the right side like an A-2. It's lots of fun to drive, since it does low to mid 15's in the quarter mile. I feel in love with Rabbits in 82 when on a drive home from work to make sure that a problem I fixed, stayed fixed. (I used to own air cooleds. I'll never go back!) |

still runs awesome. i saved it for $500 bucks and it is now worth over $1500. I love it. Now if my
'75 yellow bug looked as good then i would have it made!!!!!! VW's are the ultimate German automobles. |

I love rabbits. i think they look 10 times tougher than golf2-4s. i drive an '85 cabrio, a fixer upper i havent quite fixed up yet. it runs great and fast(i kick honda ass), and it is super low. im about to paint it and get a new top. ive lived in louisville for 2 years now and at first i thought "how cool can kentucky be?", but this place has a huge VW following, from rabbits to roccs to corrados. i think too many people who buy new american cars only plan on owning them for 2 years. it is great to see people embracing old cars that were built to last and run forever. another great point is how new cars change too much, seems like every year is a totally new body style, but the rabbit didnt change for 10 yrs, and you can put a new 2.0 vw 8V into a '75 rabbit with little difficulties. why change a great design? |

Dear VW Beetle Friend! I hope that although you like the Rabbit, you still have a place in your hearth for the VW Beetle. You can help to save the VW Beetle images, just keeping them on picture. Visit the amazing site below and be part of the QUEST!!! http://www.geocities.com/MotorCity/Show/9615/ Remember: time is running and the images are fading out... Congratulations for your site, i liked having visited it! |

I was looking for information concerning the vaule of a 1982 convertible Rabbit when I came across your site. It really is a great site. Hopefully I will become a Rabbit owner and enjoy your site even more. Any suggestions on finding more info about the 82 convertable Rabbit? |

Nice site. Mk1's are my favorite VW's. I own 2. One is an 82 rabbit that was deisel, but is being stripped and turned into a 16v monster (hope for close to 400 bhp!), the other is a 90 cabriolet w/ techtonics exhaust (no-cat). I'll send pictures of both when I get a scanner. |
