    better get on that

    gone through 18 pages now, which is 60 days back. I think I'll go back a year, maybe, then add some other completed builds, like ekkoj's other 2.

    maybe I'll alphabetize, Iunno.

    EDIT: apparently 60 days is how long a thread stays active before it's archived? it stops at page 18.

    did you ever do a build for the black one? I don't recall there being one here, just a "hey, here's the replacement".

    I did start another thread for the black one but it never ended up as detailed and I ended up doing loads without the camera around. I'll get round to doing another one someday

    this makes me want to start a build thread and actually update it with pictures of my progress instead of just posting random snapshots in misc. threads throughout the forums...

    ...but i dont think thats gonna happen.

    A Rabbit is not to be wasted on the tentative or weak. Only the worthy are invited, and then only at your own risk. If you have even a modicum of hesitation, DO NOT buy one of these cars. Instead, leave it for a worthy soul who has already matriculated to the sublime ecstasy of what those in the know refer to as a "MK1"

    One of my favorite build threads ever. I want you to know when I first saw the pic of the damaged car I felt actual sorrow. I felt sooo bad for you.

    I prefer to remember it the way it was when you finished it.
