FS/FT : 1981 VW Rabbit (Southeast GA) CHEAP!

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..

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!!!
