My Rabbit is a 1976, and my plans are to slowly restore it in a general stock way.  She is my daily driver, but I work 3.5 miles away. While out on this photo shoot, My car started not to hold idle when stopped.  Not sure if it is a carb adjustment, lack of fuel from fuel pump, or ignition timing. If I slow down, engine dies and all the lights light up. Limped the old rabbit back to the city, and had to keep the engine revs up to maintain a running engine.  Always something new to tinker with!

Thanks All,
   I do have some sad news.  I was limping my car to a mechanic to run a diagnostic on the stall when stop problem, I came to a red light…Had to stop quick, so the car stalled out. I went to start the car when all of a sudden a clunking noises started.  Sounded like a connecting rod was not connecting anymore. So I had her towed, no news yet. Unfortunately I also missed the fun at Wuste. Here is a video for you http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i6sKC00I2Sw on the show. I'll let you know when my car is back up.
