I'm overjoyed to find this site. I've been a carnut for many years now, always seeking a "unique" ride. I absolutely hate meeting the same car as I am driving 30 times a day. It's just plain demoralizing.
After driving a succession of turbodiesel VW Jettas, I decided that the search for a unique daily should start in earnest and after 4 long years of searching, I found a nice rust-free 1981 VW Rabbit Pickup. I've been working on it for the last 7 years now (are project cars ever finished?), and have upgraded just about everything. Interior is all GTI with a restored vintage wood wheel. Engine is a 2 liter "hotrodded" turbodiesel making 147 horsepower and 255 ft lbs of torque. Two winters ago I stripped the body to the bare metal, replaced 2 very small rust spots and sprayed the present Electric Blue Pearl and Silver Mica color scheme. I hope you like the end result.
The body was still silver when I did the interior.
In it's original silver paint
My feelings on this subject are well known
