I love those wheels! Nice work man

What seats are those?

Thanks, seats are just no name fiberglass buckets. Probably a bride rep

Them wheels!

The rest of the car is looking nice as well!

Thanks man, love your e28

So sick. There's another set of these for sale on vwvortex, and I keep considering getting them for my MK1 Scirocco. This may have just convinced me.

I say go for it. Just be careful with the offset cause my front pokes a lot. I'm not too concerned cause I want to eventually go berg cup kit. In the meantime, I'll have to hack up my front fenders a bit to get everything to fit

Any updates on this? I just picked up an '84 GTI with a cabby front end today and remembered this thread

Ccol man. I've been following your build thread, looking good! I am really taking forrever with this build but have made some progress. The engine bay is done and painted and the engine is in. I'll have to update with some pictures.

Rabbit is kind of on the back burner for now, as I've been working on my temporary ride:

haha you bought a BMW in the middle of your MK1 project and I bought a MK1 in the middle of my BMW project.

Bimmer is only temporary. It is a 1977 and had been sitting in a barn since 1991. I am the second owner and the car only has 116k km!



Engine bay before:


After a quick wash:


Extra minty


Cleaned and refinished the tanks. Flushed entire fuel system


After new paint and at the 2nd ever cars and coffee Toronto.


Don't mind the wheel gap. Its just on the rabbit wheels/tires until I refinish the stockers

[CubbyChowder]

cool man!

[aaron22]

Hardly an update, as I've barely touched the rabbit. However, the bimmer is pretty much done. I'm headed back to school in a couple weeks where I can work on the rabbit again, so no need for the e21. It's going up for sale so if anyone is interested in a minty e21, shoot me a pm

Well I've moved back for school and can finally get going with the rabbit again. Just put together a german auto parts order...hopefully the last one I need to get the car running.



Engine is in, just need a few small things. Sold the zx6 carbs and looking for something a little bigger now.

Dropped the rear and a bit and a little roll action. Goodbye preload Thinking I'll order a camber shim kit if I end up going any lower in the rear. I'm gunna have to get creative with the front though

Yeah man, it was cool meeting everyone. I'll come out to toys every once and a while, hopefully I'll catch you again and can take a closer look at the e28. Hopefully I'll this thing going soon but I'm on the fence about the carbs. May wait till tax return season to pick up some Weber DCOE's.

Pretty sure you parked next to my neighbors Ferrari at the Cars and Coffee meet

Looks great so far man! Can't wait to see the finished product.

haha crazy. It was a pretty cool meet. I thought I felt a little out of place surrounded by exotics but it was pretty well received. People seem to love barn find/revival stories
