This is just another side project I'm working on. It's a 1981 VW Rabbit Diesel and my dad wants me to help him restore it. So now I have yet another project, as if my buick didn't already eat up enough of my free time.

Anyway, it's in fairly good shape with only minor exterior rust and it still runs and drives great. This little bunny's got over 250,000 Miles and it's got a 4-speed manual, which still works pretty well.

As with any car it's age, it does have it's fair share of problems that need to be fixed. Right now, it's having a very serious problem with water leaking into the interior. I can't leave this car uncovered in the rain eitherwise the whole passenger side will end up flooded again. That's the only major problem I see so far. After that, there's minor cancer rust on the rear quarter panels and it needs to be repainted. So it's not a major restoration and considering who in demand these old rabbits are, I wouldn't have to put too much work into it to increase it's value.

I'm not sure at this point if my dad will keep it or sell once it's finished. I wouldn't mind driving it myself for a while. Sorry about the crappy pictures, when I get I promise I'll post better ones.

Restoration To do list:
* Fix interior water leak
* Repair rust damage on rear quarter panels
* New paint job
* New carpet and headliner
