I had a red one in the 90’s. I put Subaru brat seats in the back and ended up selling it to a guy that shipped it to the Virgin Islands. Years later while on vacation in USVI i passed a garage and seen it on jack stands with the transmission in a million piece all over the shop floor!! Miss that truck all the time! I only ever see the diesels. That thing was tons of fun!
Travis Powell and thank you for watching! is there any thing in particular with interior you wanna see more of? i’m gonna be doing more POV driving videos like in episode #19.
Perfect cant wait to see the POV. Maybe for the interior just common stuff that breaks and maybe even repairs of the stuff that breaks even a link to maybe where to buy the part.
I had a Silver 1982 Rabbit S. It had the standard 1.7 cis with freq valve and O2. 5 speed tall gear box, sway bars front and rear.The door panels were almost the as the 83-84 GTI, mine had white stripe instead of chrome stripe. The 82 S had Orange badges on the hatch only. I enjoy watching all of your videos and have the same passion. Thanks for the knowledge on the SportTruck. I learned about the hood decal and front spoiler.
Joey Marstall whoa that sounds like an awesome little car! i wish these mk1’s were better documented, it seems like there’s never a shortage of little things like this and thatto learn from fellow owners. i’m glad you’re getting a kick out of the content so far, like i explained at the end of this video, i have a ton of stuff to chip away at and film. thank you for your support!
thanks man! led conversion isn't too popular, personally i swear by hella h4 conversions with added relays. there are the trucklite brand drop in less which a few of my friends have; a bit expensive at like 3-400$ for the pair but the beam cutoff/pattern is real nice and they are super bright so they are worth the price. but again the h4's are my personally recommendation, here's a video i made about the h4's. ua-cam.com/video/M-U1vghn0pg/v-deo.html
yes you want the mk2 recaro power seats/power bases, the very backs of them sit a few inches lower than other seats when you position them all the way down. a rear bubble window will also give your head rest a few extra inches to lean back. when you adjust the power seats al the way down it limits how far back you can recline it.
J-Customs yeahp! never super pressured to sell it but always throw it up once in a while to see if there are any bites. i’m fairly convinced i’ll be stuck with it for years to come lol.
