Hello to all from across the pond....

I am new to this forum, but not new to forums in general.  Much of my internet time is spent sifting through Audi forums (Quattroworld.com, audizine.com, etc.) as my family has 3 Audis (2003 A6, 2001 A4, and a 1995 S6).

However the coup de grace in my opinion is a car my parents purchased brand spanking new back in 1980….an MK1 Rabbit Convertible.  There is just one problem….it is out of commission and has been for the past year     I'm not really sure what is wrong, but that's where you all come in  :mrgreen:  :dontknow: but more on that later.

I hope you all don't mind a Tennessean in your forums.  Cheers.

Welcome to the club.

Get some pics up.

Theres loads of people on there that can help you out.

Welcome to the mk1 forum!!  Do you have some pics of it?  Bet it aint got problems with rust!!!

Howdy  :cowboy:

This is the best pictures I could come up with at the time being.  This was back when the Rabbit (Bugsy as we call it…) was running like a top…..link to the stable

Love pastel colours on mk1's and my favourite colour is yellow so can't get much better there!!  Old-skool as well without the body kit… proper retro  8)  8)  8)

Thanks, I'm hoping one day when I have some money to do a 20vt conversion.  But right now I just want to get it back on the road!

Why?????  You not keeping it standard?

where has your link gone above?

I've put it here for others to see.  Did you remove the one up above?

Ignore that bit it's there again (think it's me  :roll: )

I noticed it disappeared too…but now it's back.  Don't know.


You don't like the 20vt idea?  I just figured Bugsy needed a lil more pep in his step!  But I have zero funds for it at the moment (as everything I make goes towards my S6 Avant build)

Depends mate…. if it was a clipper or something then yeah throw a 20vt in but…. there's lots out there… not many standard  :dontknow:

It would make a great "sleeper" but it's up to you  :dontknow:

I'll have to toss it around.   There are a lot of VW guys (and gals) rolling around Nashville.  However I am the only MK1 I have seen thus far…

Personally mate I would keep it as standard as possible.

I may just do that.  That's the plan for the immediate future anyways.

Wow, nice rabbit!  8)

Thanks, I think it is my favorite car in the stable!
