    1981 Volkswagen Rabbit
    1.8l 8v
    3 speed auto trans
    14" BMW Bottle caps
    Mk2 Jetta tilt seats
    Daily driven for last 14 months

    The good :
    Daily driven
    New tires (less than 1000 miles)
    New plugs
    New wires
    New distributer cap and rotor
    New battery
    New headlights
    New thermostat

    The bad :
    Rust. Passenger side A-pillar rust hole. Rust holes in rain channel. Bottom of hatch rusted out. Rust hole on passenger door. Rust hole on rear valance. Good thing : Absolutely no leaks.
    Exhaust needs holes welded/new exhaust.
    Automatic trans slips going into second once you've been driving for a while. Only happens if you give it the gas. No problems if just cruising around town. This car must be driven like the 31 year old car it is.
    No A/C. (Not that you expected it to have it.
    Needs new blower motor. Heat works but with no blower, it just trickles out.
    Gauge cluster lights don't work.

    Pictures :













    Now for the rust..









    Video of starting and driving :

    I'm willing to trade for anything European that is big enough for me to fit in. (I'm 6'5" 400+) Looking for a Mk3 VR or 2.0 GTI or Golf. Love the Rabbit, just need something a hair bigger.

    $500! Come and get it!!!

    Would you be willing to meet in Macon? I'm in North GA and its quite the drive anyways. If its everything you say it is, I'd be willing to pay what you want and be done with it then and there.
