Re: A work in progress 83 rabbit.

more progress.




The interior coming together, Wife and i have been working to get that retro balance of not looking brand new and modern but have some nice...flare i guess you could say...


Car is being painted probably next weekend have some body work to do. As the light blue i want a change and doesn't compliment the wheels as much as my new color. Im going to go with a cream color like the cream in the plaid. Have some flat black accents like the wheels. Maybe put a cream ring on the outer of the wheel. And a flat black roof rack...thats my plans for the summer. Then cruising time!!!

P.s. Big ups to Bob at urban expressions tire and wheel for the great deal on wheels and tires. Once im back to work and more cash flow i think ill change the tires. Maybe some more lowness.

Re: A work in progress 83 rabbit.

Thanks guys. The interior is shaping up pretty good. rear bench to do and other little bits. Car will look alot better with some fresh paint as this paint looks a little old/faded and the roof clear coat is all peeled. Im stoked to be driving it again with it's turbo goodness.

So I did some body work and some painting with rattle can and this is how it turned out. What do you think? Its on a tight budget...hence the rattle can but im please. Better then shades of multiple blues.

Re: A work in progress 83 rabbit.

Thanks. I was getting some cash together to get some new rubber but then these popped up so i went with these. I wanted lower then i could with the other tires. stance is good. Im not on the bump stops but im still low enought to destroy my oil pan...perfect hahaha. Bob the keskins and new rubber is looking bad ass on your car!
