Mk1 rabbit in need of a heart

Pinstripe and bumpers off, wheels and suspension on.

This motor swap needs to happen soon.

Tore out a ton of the interior. I've decided to just run the mk4 cluster and no dash since it will be a project. I'm thinking about removing everything and just run mk4 seats and mk1 carpet.

So much leg room without the dash!

Finally some progress.


Let the wiring fun begin! I'm hoping to mod and keep the pedal box and shifter from mk4.

A 1.8T Mk1 Cabby will be awesome! I'm half way through 1.8T swapping my Mk2 Golf at the moment, can't wait to get behind the wheel! Good luck with your build

Thanks much Greg and best of luck with your build. For a moment today I felt like I bit off more than I can chew. Getting the mk4 pedals, shifter and cluster is going to add a ton of time to the swap.

Haha I feel the same with mine, there's quite a lot involved with the 1.8T swap. It's doable though, and will be more than worth it in the end!
