This is my 1984 Volkswagen Rabbit GTI
It has been my project for over a year now and I have to part with it.
Here's a little about it: I have replaced many many parts over the past year.
New front performance brake pads
New Battery
New Starter
New front rotors
New Rear brake drums
New Rear brake Shoes
New Rear brake Cylinders
BMW 14' bottlecap wheels
Raceland Headers
Currently Has mk2 cabrio seats
HID headlights
Timing Belt
Serpintine Belt
Spark Plugs
New Distributor rotor and cap
Neuspeed front brace
Neuspeed rear brace
Momo Steering Wheel
Oil Pan gasket
Strut mounts
New front motor mount and trans mount and bracket
New Front Axels
New Gas Tank <---Cost like $400+
And Much Much More
I have paperwork for many of these parts and the sales receipt for the gas tank swap in which i spent over $400 in labor + the price of the part.
There are some cons to the car:
There is an exhaust leak by the headers because one of the 8 header bolts is stripped, it needs a tap and die with a new screw to close the exhaust leak
There is oil leaking from somewhere - I think it is the valve cover gasket
Paint is not perfect, there is some overspray in places and is not a highly professional job. However, it still does look pretty good.
Driver door only opens from inside, needs a little fixing on the cable maybe.
No air conditioning
This car can be driven daily if needed but it will require a little bit more work to get it perfect.
It handles really well and gets a bunch of 'thumbs up' and turns heads whenever I drive it anywhere.
Also email with any questions.
My phone number is 818 648 7085
I have the registration. I have the PINK slip, with a clear title.

Volkswagen's 261-mpg hand-built XL1 headed for Geneva
Thu, 21 Feb 2013After years of rumors, development and testing, the Volkswagen XL1 is finally about to become a reality. The project that began life as a daring 1-Liter concept car in 2002, will finally get its production-ready curtain call at the Geneva Motor Show in just a few weeks.
As soon as it hits the streets, the two-seat XL1 will instantly become the most fuel-efficient and most aerodynamic production car in the world. The car uses a plug-in hybrid system to achieve mind-blowing consumption of just 0.9 liters of diesel fuel consumed every 100 kilometers (and average of roughly 261 miles per gallon). Plus, the XL1 can go up to 50 kilometers on its battery power alone. Coefficient of drag is a miniscule 0.189, thanks to a tiny frontal area and an obviously slippery shape.
XL1 power comes from a two-cylinder diesel motor connected to a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox, while the 20 kW electric motor is fed by a lithium-ion battery. Both combine to give the XL1 performance figures that are, while not stirring, not shabby considering its extreme frugality: 0-62 miles per hour comes up in 12.7 seconds and top speed is nearly 146 mph.
VW Super Bowl teaser with Jimmy Cliff is like a less-mean Tosh.0 Web Redemption
Thu, 24 Jan 2013Reggae super-duper-star and Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Jimmy Cliff has been using music to send positive vibes out into the universe for decades now, so its no surprise that his message on behalf of Volkswagen is one of redemption.
Dubbed Sunny Side, this web-spot is VW's warmup of sorts for what promises to be another blockbuster year in the world of Super Bowl commercials. Without giving away the game, the euphonious commercial sees Cliff opening his arms and his heart to some YouTube 'celebrities' that might see courser treatment from the likes of Tosh.0, for instance. We can't help but be reminded of Coca-Cola's legendary 1971 Hilltop spot with the "I'd like to buy the world a Coke" lyric, too.
Enjoy the pre-Super Bowl VW spot below, and don't forget to pay it forward... your karma will thank you. For those of you that just can't get enough of commercial-making magic, we've included a "making-of" video, as well.
Volkswagen Routan dead, pour out a sippy cup for your little homies
Thu, 28 Mar 2013America's minivan wolfpack has just gotten smaller by one. According to Automotive News, Volkswagen officials have confirmed what we've suspected for some time - the Routan is dead. Essentially a lightly reworked version of the Dodge Grand Caravan, the Routan actually hasn't been rolling off of Chrysler's Windsor, Ontario production line at all this year, but VW had yet to confirm its discontinuation. However, Jonathan Browning, CEO of VW America, has reportedly admitted that the Routan is being axed, with remaining units expected to be funneled into corporate functions for "internal purposes."
The move isn't unexpected - the Routan has never been a big seller, with just 57,650 examples moved since sales began in 2008 - peak yearly sales totaled under 16,000 units, and that was back in 2010. And while many have talked of the minivan segment shrinking, Automotive News points out that the segment actually grew 14 percent last year to 597,118 units, though it should be noted that most segments have been on sales upticks as the US economy chugs out of its recession.
So, is volume-crazy Volkswagen prepared to pass on large family vehicle sales? Probably not - the German automaker has signaled that it plans to build a three-row crossover in North America soon, and we wouldn't be surprised if it looks an awful lot like the Crossblue Concept from January's Detroit Auto Show - minus the fancy plug-in diesel powertrain.
